The document, in particular, defines the requirements for the burial grounds, the location of the walls of sorrow and the distance between the coffins. According to GOST, the choice of the burial site should “ensure an indefinitely long period of existence of the burial site” and be selected taking into account the rules of the settlement development, terrain features and maximum permissible loads on the environment. The plot area should not exceed 40 hectares.

The first issue of Ogonyok magazine December 21 , 1899 in The first issue of the legendary Ogonek magazine was published in Russia. Initially, it was a weekly illustrated literary and artistic supplement to the newspaper “Birzhevye Vedomosti”. In 1918, the issue of the magazine ceased, but was resumed 5 years later.

Ginzburg questioned the artificial origin of the omicron coronavirus strain
The scientist recalled that a large number of people with immunodeficiency live in the territory where omicron was first detected. COVID-19 can stay in the body of such patients for a long time and mutate, Ginzburg explained. The fact that the emergence of new strains of coronavirus in South Africa is due to a high proportion of HIV infections among the young population, the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova said earlier. “They have an immunized layer there with various pathogens of infectious diseases, including, I do not exclude, coronaviruses of various genotypes, they were sick very often. Against this background, when a virus exists in one organism for a long time, it accumulates an infinite number of mutations,” the head of the Gamalei Center told Interfax. Ginzburg also recalled that “coronaviruses in general develop perfectly in animals, reproduce, exist and mutate in them.” In this regard, it cannot be ruled
Christmas in Europe: restrictions and losses
InIn the UK, the situation with Omicron is the worst in Europe. Over the past day, almost 83 thousand new cases have been identified in the country. Similar daily indicators have been held for several days in a row. The country has reintroduced measures such as the mandatory wearing of masks in shops and public transport and the observance of social distance, but doctors believe that this is not enough and call on the government to take more decisive action. The primary task of Downing Street’s scientific advisers is to prevent an increase in daily hospitalizations. According to their calculations, if their number reaches 3 thousand a day, the British health care system (NHS) may face collapse. The Scientific Council under the British government SAGE estimated that under the current state of affairs, the minimum daily mortality in England will be 600 people, the maximum – up to 6 thousand

The Federation Council explained why Russia does not impose fines for refusing the vaccine
“We do not have mandatory vaccination. Therefore, a fine for refusing vaccination cannot be supported,” he explained. On the eve of the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova said that the authorities are studying the experience of other countries on the introduction of fines for refusing to vaccinate: “ let’s see how effective it is, how applicable.” Earlier, Austria announced the consideration of such a possibility. They have developed a bill according to which, in case of refusal of vaccination, a citizen will be summoned to the district administrative body. If he refuses, he will be called again, and if he does not appear again, he will face a fine of €3.6 thousand or imprisonment for four weeks. With the following refusals, the amount of the fine will increase to € 7.2 thousand. While the initiative is being discussed and not legally fixed. If the law is passed, it may come
Cambridge scientists have declared a lesser danger of “omicron”-a strain for the lungs
As it turned out, omicron replicates in organoids and cell lines of Calu-3 lungs less efficiently than the delta strain and the D614G mutation found in China. The weaker infectivity of omicron compared to these two strains may be explained by the relatively lower cleavage of S-protein compared to the delta strain, scientists believe. At the same time, the same penetration efficiency was observed in the H1299 lung epithelial cells. “Observations show that omicron has acquired properties that allow it to evade immunity, while the properties associated with replication and pathogenicity have weakened,” the study says. Despite these data, omicron is “a serious problem for the public health system” because of the speed of its spread, said the head of the study, Professor Ravi Gupta. A new variant of the coronavirus was detected in southern Africa in early November, since then cases of infection have been recorded in 89 countries
