I always appreciate your in-depth analysis on The parts of west Europe where the language barrier make it hard for some people to penetrate. (Few statistics came out of Russia and the Baltic states+ Central Asia lately for the same reason) and I commend you for doing the work.
On this situation however I have a different take. If you will take a step back, you might see that ‘ plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose’. I have written just a few words about it in regards to masks and if history is a teacher, you know..,we may be all on the same side but IT moves on. Regards!
I'm moving between providing these comments (Q&A) and not doing it. Personally, I decided to do so since most of my esteemed 'Western' colleagues don't know anything about Eastern Europe, hence the educator in me.
As to the veracity of it all, well, it's current events in the fog of war, so a lot of caution is warranted. I will say this, though, that 'Western' media is full of BS (no offence to cattle) on this one, and perhaps in the same ballpark as the BS on all matters Covid-19.
What I find most interesting is this: both issues are a good example to learn about the follies of 'whataboutism', which I'll write about in the next few days.
Thanks for reading these pieces here anyways! Cheers!
