Not sure where did you get this information about unauthorised hospital?

Sorry, this can't be further from the truth. It's not Sharashkin contor.
No unauthorized hospitals exist in Russia. Maybe rehab centers, but even they are controlled because of Hari Krishna
(and the like) sect members targeting vulnerable.

Moscow's Spasokukotsky hospital is pretty high standard when it comes to treating cardiovascular diseases and it's world leading in some technology implementation.
Please see article before the fire about their preparation to treat corona patients. It's pretty damn good hospital, Moscow doesn't really have bad ones it seems.

There are almost daily updates in russian news about the fires as and it is covered it in a great detail. Aparantly, main suspect is still Aventa-M and not the way they were used. Currently investigator comitee are suspecting faulty batch.

I wonde
Bashkiriya, Tatarstan and even Kazachstan are also not gonna use Aventa-M. Heads will roll definitely, even if only 6 people died. Really proud of speedy reaction by the gov and openness into this, you wouldn't hear this shit in Belarus or Ukraine.

In Russia, they suggested using a thrombolytic drug against coronavirus infection
It is already registered as a medicine.

An interdepartmental working group to fight against coronavirus at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences has found out whether it is possible to deal with the consequences of coronavirus infection with thrombovazim, a drug that is used to fight blood clots in blood vessels. TASS was told about this by Olga Dorokhova, executive secretary of the working group at the SB RAS on overcoming a new coronavirus infection.

She noted that one of the main causes of death of coronavirus infection is the pneumonia associated with it, which complicates the course of this disease. In fact, this pneumonia is an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which affects the lungs, as a result of which there is a need for the use of mechanical ventilation. In turn, in the lungs and blood vessels during the development of ARDS, a film of fibrin protein is formed, from which blood clots subsequently form.

“At the same time, in Russia there is a fibrinolytic (a drug that destroys a fibrin thrombus, approx. TASS) of a new generation - thrombovasim, developed with the participation of the FIC ICG (Institute of Cytology and Genetics, - approx. TASS) SB RAS and INP (Institute of Nuclear physicists, - approx. TASS) SB RAS <...> Today, thrombovazim can be considered as a targeted drug for the prevention and elimination of the severe consequences of respiratory distress syndrome in coronavirus infection, ”said Dorokhova.

Unlike drugs such as plasminogen activators, whose action quickly destroys a blood clot, but is associated with a risk of hemorrhagic complications up to a fatal outcome, thrombovazim can gently interfere with both the formation of fibrin films and thrombus formation in capillaries. According to Dorokhova, the drug dissolves fibrin in the lungs more slowly than in vessels, so it would be effective to use it, and in the early stages, as a prophylactic of pulmonary complications.

St. Petersburg / AbsolutTV.ru Scientists from ITMO University in collaboration with the St. Petersburg City Mariinsky Hospital have developed a magnetically controlled drug for the treatment of thrombosis, which consists of a porous magnetite base and a thrombolytic enzyme enclosed in it. This was reported in the press service of ITMO University.

According to scientists, a solution from the nanoparticles of a new drug, concentrated on a blood clot with a magnet, can subsequently break down blood clots in the body up to 4000 times more effective than modern thrombolytics. The new drug will also reduce the dose of the drug tenfold and avoid many side effects. Information about the new method of Russian scientists was published in the journal Scientific Reports.

It is known that in Russia with thrombosis up to 60% of fatal outcomes are caused by heart attack and stroke - diseases of the atherosclerosis group. Scientists have created material by which an enzyme for cleaving a blood clot can be precisely targeted and safe for the human body. The new material consists of a magnetite porous base and a protein enclosed in it - urokinase.

So they are not even selling the good crop in stores.    

Apparently 10's of millions of pounds of produce has been destroyed since March:

What else could they do?

If they can't send the food to their normal customers in the form of restaurants and there is no way to store it for 6 months then it would just sit and rot anyway.

By digging it in to the ground they wont need to spend money on fertiliser this year and they can just grow what they dug in again for the next season.

If there is no way to transport the food to consumers then they wont make money, so it makes more sense to just use it as fertilliser... it means they don't need to hire labour to pick fruit or crops... because they likely couldn't anyway with social distancing rules...

As mentioned in that article 30% of food is wasted in the US anyway, so it is really only a 70% reduction in supply from US sources.

They could of given the food to food banks, I already reported how their's many food banks in America with several km long bread lines.
