“In Dagestan, a very difficult situation, deplorable. The hospitals are crowded. A lot of people got sick, a lot of people died. We need to listen to doctors, the only way to win this disease. The hospitals already lack equipment and medicines. Only self-isolation can solve this problem. Everyone gets sick, the disease does not choose the poor or the rich. I personally have more than 20 close relatives lying in intensive care, a lot of friends have died. Think of your parents and grandparents. ”
