Russians treated with COVID-19 commit suicide

Russian and Ukrainian doctors have appealed to the British Daily Mail to investigate the increasing number of suicides of people who have been treated for coronavirus in their countries.

The latter is a 101-year-old Russian WWII veteran with numerous awards. He was a paratrooper and made 119 jumps in Budapest, Prague and Vienna during the defeat of the Nazis, but fell fatally from a height after returning home from hospital treatment for coronavirus.

There are reportedly at least seven more such cases in Russia since August, including a 45-year-old policewoman and a 48-year-old doctor. Many jumped out of windows in Ukraine after October.

This has led some doctors to believe that there may be a link between the medications they are being treated with and, in particular, a potent antibiotic used for pneumonia that is believed to trigger hallucinations, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

The respected Ukrainian cardiologist Kateryna Amosova believes that a medical investigation of these cases, not only police, is needed to determine if this is a consequence of any action of COVID-19 in the nervous system.
