The volunteer of the Moscow hospital No. 52, which became one of the largest centers for combating covid during the pandemic, describes the everyday life of the "red zone" - the avant-garde of the fight against coronavirus. From personal observations and dry lines of reports - "hospitalization by the NSR outfit at 5:17," "according to life testimony transferred to ICU," "posthumous epicrisis is attached" - a pandemic diary and a kind of memorial to the dead are formed. There is a lot of specific medical humor in the book, saving in critical situations, but cynicism is completely absent.
