I don’t envy the authorities in general and Sobyanin specifically - which option you choose, you will definitely be wrong.
One side, crushes business. And he is absolutely right: the economy is bursting, large companies and small firms go bankrupt. The longer the quarantine lasts, the more unemployed there will be. AND, quite possible, hunger riots begin. On the other hand, have to take into account the opinion of doctors. If you do not guess, succumb to business pressure and quarantine earlier, the second wave of the epidemic could rise. And even trained mobile hospitals don't even have enough. People will begin to die in the thousands per day, like in Italy. And on the third side, all sorts of proud and free morons speak out in social networks. Freaks go to single pickets, Spit on prohibitions and calling to follow their example. This is also pressure. It is more difficult to understand and classify opinions - everyone has their own truth. But in the aggregate, thousands of truths turn into a mighty moronic press of the so-called civil society, wanting to be heard. I'm afraid, authorities still give slack and quarantine ahead of time. The temptation is too great to get out of that hole as quickly as possible, where the whole world drove a pandemic. But if they make a mistake, neither business, no doctors will forgive them for this. And freaks with morons will express their deep thoughts, filled with exactly the opposite content. Interesting, we will see the same lean people on single pickets against quarantine ending too early?
