Ukraine's Wacko Zones
It’s day whatever of Ukraine’s COVID-19 disaster and increasingly apparent that something is horribly wrong. So, they’ve decided to chop the country up into zones.
Health Ministry officials are finding increasingly difficult to tamp down positive test results for the virus and have decided to extend quarantine measures for one more month according to yet-to-be-fully-explained algorithms.
