TheDark Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Russia overtakes Germany, France after record rise in COVID-19 cases MOSCOW: Russia's COVID-19 cases overtook French and German infections on Thursday (May 7) to become the fifth highest number in the world after a record daily rise, and Moscow's mayor said the real figure, not captured by official statistics, was much higher. The official tally surged to 177,160, meaning Russia now has more registered cases than Germany or France, as the number of new cases of the novel coronavirus jumped by 11,231 in the past 24 hours. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/russia-overtakes-germany-france-after-record-rise-in-covid-19-12712564 Seems Russia's Putin wanted to play down the Covid-19 risks and now Russia is paying the price for it's current regiment's actions. Putin has been afraid of the public and not been around to help his citizens. This might cost his power. https://time.com/5827078/russia-putin-coronavirus-economy/ Add to this the economical downhill with cheap oil and Russia is not doing well. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/07/covid-19-puts-putins-power-plans-on-hold-and-economy-in-peril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
