How many Russkies are dying of pneumonia now though? -

"As of this moment, Russia, a country of a hundred and forty-four million people, claims to have carried out a hundred and sixty-five thousand coronavirus tests in total, about half the number that were performed in the United States. Russia has fewer acknowledged cases than Luxembourg—and yet there is some evidence of a much larger outbreak of the coronavirus than the official statistics appear to suggest."

"According to Russia’s own statistics agency, the number of pneumonia cases in Moscow grew by thirty-seven per cent in January, compared with the same time last year. Anastasia Vasilyeva, the head of the independent Doctors Alliance trade union, said, “It’s impossible to know the real situation, but one thing we know for sure: the state is ready to manipulate medical statistics for political purposes.” "

Would be funny if true.

Why not?  They were honest and transparent about the Chernobyl disaster, especially in the early days.

So the US is overstating the number of infected just because they want to be #1?

 No, quite the opposite. US is understating the number

 You just can't fight the virus clothed in trash bags

Wuhan Residents Dismiss Official Coronavirus Death Toll: ‘The Incinerators Have Been Working Around the Clock’

Wuhan residents are increasingly skeptical of the Chinese Communist Party’s reported coronavirus death count of approximately 2,500 deaths in the city to date, with most people believing the actual number is at least 40,000.

“It can’t be right … because the incinerators have been working round the clock, so how can so few people have died?” a man surnamed Zhang told RFA.

Don't tell me you trust the accuracy of Russia's reports. Is it not possible they have skewed them to make it look like they have very few cases?

Ron & Moderators, it's time to GB 'infect' that moron RK !.

It’s not just China / Russia that lie & are not to be Trusted in some way or another I’d say all Regimes
Do that when it suits there Goals - That’s just realistic fact as we’ve seen it over & over again.

Sarcasm, Prime, Sarcasm.

They are playing the same game China was when this first started. Listing Coronavirus deaths as pneumonia so they don't start a panic. I don't trust China, Russia, or any other large nation reporting low Corona numbers. They are either playing a semantics game with it, or not testing.

[TTfit]

Once again, false news putting the USA as the front runner.

[Teutonic Knight 1]

People get real, no Western journalist in Wuhan. It's all China created news !.

Coronavirus death count
US -      3170

Trump says 200,000 Americans could die from coronavirus, because he’s done “a very good job”

Good president, keep pushinged

[RK]

I have forced myself to listen to the daily COVID19 briefings from the White House and I have to say that Trump’s constant flag-waving and self-worshiping is almost physically painful to watch.  The worst parts of these briefings are when Trump, or Pompeo, speak about the US “leadership” as if the entire planet was desperately expecting the USA to help.  It does not.  In fact, most of the planet is disgusted by US action, be it the denial of vitally needed meds to countries like Iran or Venezuela, to the attempts are buying off German vaccines, to the mantric repetition about how great the US private sector is and how Amazon and Walmart will help us weather this crisis.

The truth is that this worldwide pandemic will allow us all to compare how different political systems, countries and cultures have reacted to the threat.
