Why is Russia reporting so few COVID-19 cases? Some say it's a cover-up

According to the count released by its health ministry, Russia currently has only 253 confirmed cases of the virus. That is vastly lower than in other major countries in Western Europe, where there are already thousands of cases.

What really makes Russia an outlier, however, is the number of tests it is carrying out compared to its number of positive cases. Russia has done 133,101 tests, putting it behind only China, Italy and South Korea.

But with just 306 cases of the virus, Russia’s ratio of positive cases to the number of tests is the second lowest in the world, at 0.21%. Only the tiny United Arab Emirates comes lower at 0.11%, based on figures from the Our World In Data project at Oxford University.

That number is puzzling, not least for a country of Russia’s vast size, with a population of 144 million and a long border with China. For example, the U.K. has done 64,600 tests and has over 3,000 cases. In Norway, 44,000 tests have turned up 1,700 cases.

“If they have done that amount of testing, it is remarkably low,” Paul Hunter, a professor of health protection at Britain’s University of East Anglia, told ABC News. “But clearly there are both suspicious and non-suspicious explanations for that. I would be very pushed to say that data is false based just on the numbers.”

But in a country where the state has a long history of hiding bad news from its citizens and the outside world, the anomalous figures have triggered suspicions of a cover-up. No solid evidence has so far emerged to support that theory, but even officials have begun to sound the alarm that the official numbers cannot be trusted.

Doctors in Russia are accusing the government of covering up its coronavirus outbreak and denying them protective equipment

A doctors' union in Russia accused authorities of disguising the extent of the country's coronavirus outbreak.

The head of the Alliance of Doctors trade union said in a video that officials were classifying coronavirus deaths as pneumonia deaths.

The video also alleged that doctors were being made to treat patients without protective gear, risking spreading the virus further.

Hospital officials have strongly denied the claims and suggested that the union leader was trying to discredit the medical profession in Russia.

So far, Russian officials have said there are about 250 coronavirus infections and one death in the population of about 145 million.

Because it pisses you off comrade. For years now you and sig have defended Putin and Russia against every, and I mean every negative thing said about them, while bashing America. You are fooling no one comrade...
