In the framework of combating panic in connection with the coronavirus, the administration of the President of the Russian Federation and the city allow “intentional intimidation” of Russians who ignore protective measures, writes “Kommersant” with reference to informed sources.

To be the case in the Moscow-based operational staff that 40% of patients who use ventilators, under 40 years of age. The number of people connected to the ventilator in this case was not called, but the head physician of clinical hospital N40 in Kommunarka Denis Protsenko reported seven patients with coronavirus, is connected to a ventilator.

Number of sociological surveys show that fears are directly related to the coronavirus that take precedence over concerns related to economic impacts of the pandemic. On the other hand, the Russians have to ask themselves the question of how all this will affect their welfare, and to separate some concerns from the other is difficult: the loss of their traditional way of life and the prospect to face a reduction or loss of income increases the anxiety on the background of fear of Contracting.

the Power as the resistance of the people in terms of compliance with restrictions, and people’s reaction to restrictions will change if you fear for life will prevail over economic fears. The newspaper’s sources do not exclude that in the first two weeks of April, the country will introduce a national state of emergency or state of emergency. Optimistic forecast of the Kremlin coverem that the spread of coronavirus can be brought under control by the end of may – beginning of June.

some sources close to the headquarters on containment of coronavirus, it is believed that between the government and the Moscow mayor’s office could be disagreement about the necessity of introduction of rigid restrictions that have a negative impact on the economy of cities. However, the support restrictions imposed in Moscow, has shown that this is not so, and the measures themselves account for the high incidence of disease in the capital.

Differences appear likely between different departments: for example, the decision to limit the return of Russians from abroad, which supported, in particular, Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova, directly contrary to the efforts of the foreign Ministry.

it is Also noted that the President’s administration takes part in the organization of PR-support efforts to contain the coronavirus and to counteract the panic, and coordinates the fight against fake news about the collapse in the regional hospitals. For this specially created state center for informing Russians about the situation with coronavirus.

in addition, the AP supervises volunteers involved in combating the virus, and the Fund “National priorities”, which was supposed to deal with the PR projects, publishes recommendations for behavior in the situation of the epidemic on electronic advertising surfaces in Moscow. Sources confirm that the formation of a content campaign of opposition to coronavirus and work with the mood of the citizens is largely responsible head of the office of the President to ensure that the activities of the state Council Alexander Kharichev.

the Sources close to the presidential administration, do not exclude the possibility that coronavirus could boost the ratings if the epidemic in the country will pass quickly and relatively painlessly. At the same time, it is possible that after the pandemic the trust level of power falls to critical levels: now the social media actively criticize the actions of the authorities, Kowhich are not in a hurry to help suffering losses to business and individuals. And experts say that economic deterrent to the consequences of a pandemic, you may need more than the current 1% of GDP, and the ability of the state to these costs will depend on including the situation on the oil market.
