Russia May Have Under Reported COVID-19 Deaths

Russia Is Probably Not the Only Country to Under Report Coronavirus Statistics

Health Editor’s note: Not unlike what we suspect could be going on with the coronavirus count in the U.S. and elsewhere, there is a great deal of discrepancy in numbers of deaths due to coronavirus deaths in Russia with numbers being more than three times higher.

Can there be a discrepancy in counting a death due to COVID-19?  Come on, a death of someone who has the COVID-19 virus is a COVID-19 death….Hiding the numbers does not serve the public well.  The public needs to see how potentially deadly this virus can be so they will take measure to avoid contracting and spreading it.

Let us not forget that Trump chose to withhold the veracity of coronavirus from the U.S. and only now we find that he knew all along that we should have been hitting this virus with everything we had from the get go. Delays cause deaths….Carol
