NBC— Judging by the official numbers, Russia can boast of having one of the most effective coronavirus responses in the world, with 367 confirmed cases as of Sunday. According to the data, none of them have been fatal.
This isn’t for lack of testing. Russian government officials say they have run over 140,000 tests. By comparison, the U.S. has reported over 25,000 positive results from a similar number of tests, according to tracking by Johns Hopkins University.
But while Russian officials attribute the low numbers to aggressive border controls and closings, some experts caution that the actual infection rates may be much higher, with the government of President Vladimir Putin intent on maintaining an image of calm authority, regardless of what may actually be happening on the ground.
At a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Putin declared the situation to be “generally under control.”
Nyet!
A communist is a communist no matter where they are found.
They might not have died from the Wuhan Flu, because lead poisoning got them first. At least that’s what happened to the first guy in North Korea.
Probably the same thing as China is now claiming. Mysteriously, there has been a significant spike in “unexplained pneumonia” cases lately, but no Chinese flu to be seen here.
Close the borders all you want for whatever racist reason you come up with hater potaters but my unbleached elastic starfish will always be open for my Petey B’s business!
Nyet Corona Virus!
Wuhan Flu? Да – that we got. 🙄
SHUT UP YOUR MOUTH!!!

My wife is Russian. Her parents are saying that Moscow is having cases but the economy has been so bad lately that people in the outer cities haven’t been traveling much. Not very scientific but one possible explanation.
I’m raising my stupid hand because this is either an actual catastrophic viral pandemic…..or it’s the fucking flu.
Since I see this as just another variation on the flu, I can’t endorse fear mongering.
They are commies
i.e., very little credibility, VERY LITTLE…..
Russians always speak the truth. Their version of the truth, not reality, not the objective truth. Only the honest to Stalin truth, so help me Stalin!
HELL! I don’t believe anything that comes out of OUR government….. Why in the hell would I believe the other communists?
Is any government telling the truth about it?
Likely just some variation in how far different governments are from the truth.
I remember the Niky said they invented: telegraph, telephone, air plane, radio combine (Fare eqipment kids)
OK I am old!
