    Report about Covid19 in Russia

    I haven't come across many articles about what's going on in Russia. This is from the CBC:

    'This situation is very scary': Coronavirus is disrupting Vladimir Putin's Russia

    https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/russia...irus-1.5548593

    Maybe, but Canada is lousy with Ukrainians.

    They all crossed over the Bering Strait and migrated south until the snow turned into rain.

    Their health care workers keep "falling" out windows.

    Three Russian health care workers have mysteriously plunged from hospital buildings in the past two weeks after criticizing working conditions and hospital administrators amid the coronavirus pandemic.

    The math: Russia has a population of near 150,000,000.

    10% of that is 15,000,000

    10% of that is 1.5 milliion.

    10% of that is 150,000.

    15,000 is .O1 of the population.

    Russia hasn't seen that many cases.

    It's 10K per day. That is a lot and my guess is their testing capacity is not nearly what it is here. These are numbers from that article:

    Health officials on Wednesday reported 10,559 new cases over the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of infections to 165,929, with 1,537 deaths.

    The pandemic arrived with full force in Moscow just as the Russian capital was preparing to celebrate Victory Day on May 9, a joyous annual holiday filled with national pride that transcends all of Russia’s many divisions. The timing has left the city in a strangely expectant yet suspended state.

    Like everything else NYT, you have to read through horrible propaganda prose to get to facts.

    Moscow has reported just 956 deaths, compared with more than 19,000 in New York City. The hospitals are strained, but not yet overwhelmed.

    That's paragraph 22. 22.

    Good Lord.
