almost 1,000,000 excess death now
Oh my god? What kind of soil were those Russians created? Haven't they do fear their lives? No one wore the face masks. Arrogant folks. Right now they're suffering the horrible wave.
Just like DeSantis is.
Over 700,000. people have passed. China has well over million deaths. But they lied to the world shame on both countries for not protecting there citizens.
I don't know. But I'm sure the U S. Is exaggerating it!
I'm on T.V.!!!!
Well, the news media here is. Why should Russia be any different?
The fake news never rests do they
Those who needed medical attention who were not able to receive treatment like cancer, mental health issues and suicides, kidney problems, heart issues, any number of health issues put aside because of covid gone untreated caused the deaths to rise not just actual covid caused deaths… don’t redefine covid. You can’t just say from this number last year to this number 12 months later is the true reading for covid deaths. That is misinformation and misleading conjecture.
Well….of course!
Yeah, their Covid death rate is the same as ours, it is 0.0
Russia,, even more than America, hides what they can.
So the vaccine doesn’t work????
If we can they can.
Mind your own business
It's just the American government that's lying about total deaths. By adding anyone and everyone as death by covid-19. The US government are now counting all the black on black crimes the led to a death as death by covid-19.
Absolutely yes, they hide everything as government secrets!
Great reporting.
Oh god stfu
It doesn't seem to important that these reports are from 2 or 3 months ago…..still most likely NOT even close to whats going on, or the truth. russia right about now is probably zombie land ☠and the living dead for 🎃 halloween💀🤢🤮………SHRUGGING. SMH.
Yep just like the rest of the world
Russians had 65,000 more deaths than normal (just in August), Russians are desperately trying to get Western vacinations. It makes their total deaths higher than America's. At half the population.
Government incompetence!? RIP ðŸ™ÂÂ
About like yt removing 1/3 of my comments.
The lack of vaccines is fueling the pandemic🤣🤣 bitch please it doesn't stop you from getting it, or spreading it. And if you're someone already a decade from death, it might help with symptoms. Might. Oh but there might also be unknown side effects yet to be seen; but ignore that till later.
If ever we needed a free and public press it is now during this world wide plague.
US numbers are so inflated to fit an agenda Russias' real numbers seem unreal. Russia doesn't have illegal immigrants coming in by the millions to super spread the virus like we do.
death from covid or comorbid and hasted protocol in triage?
How about we talk about the over inflated numbers that each country is reporting?
Well duh! People are always the ones to suffer and die during wars pandemics and natural disasters. Those in governments, any governments always have special protections. Had Trump not been President he would most likely have died when he got COVID. Only because of his office did he receive the best care to be had. Same goes in every country. There has never been a non corrupt government in human history. I highly doubt there ever will be one because we have not evolved yet to a point where people can get past skin color religion or other dividing factors. Until we face a threat that could wipe us all out we most likely won’t reach that point. Even then we might not find a way to all get along and care and protect each other. Those of us who have learned to get past all those things are always going to struggle against the ones who haven’t reached the place of wisdom that it takes to understand that we are all in this together. Sadly those who have been in war learn it the hardest way a person can. If we all learned to cover each other’s asses like soldiers do in battle we might stand a chance. There are so many threats to this little blue rock in space that could easily wipe us out and yet we continue to live in ignorance. I myself struggle daily with caring about the ignorant who refuse to get the vaccine. I am high risk and live with daily pain because I am lucky enough to have almost every genetic disease in my family and even some that no one else in my line has had. Still I got vaccinated to protect my family. I don’t leave our farm often but when I do I mask up. I do it in the smithy and any time I work with dangerous materials like welding and wood working. I even mask up when mowing the grass or tilling our food plots. In 23 months I have not left the farm 4 times. 2 for vaccinations once for renewing my drivers license and once to get scrap metal from the local metal shops dumpster. Our farm is in the smallest least populated county in the state and is the only home on our road. We rarely have visitors but when we do we mask up. I am almost 60 and with all I have been through in my life I don’t want to die from a virus. Those who refuse to get vaccinated will get no sympathy from me!
Would anyone be surprised that's happening here in the U.S.? Power of suggestion…thanks Russia.
I'm more concerned about countries inflating covid deaths.
The fatality rate of C19 in Russia has been increasing daily from 2.01% in early March this year to 2.749% today 27th Sep 21.
So I don't agree that Russia is doing any cover up according to the statistics I collected for the past 7mths.
Pls feel free to prove otherwise.

Numbers don’t lie people do. Excess deaths is a great first step. We need to understand Covids impact and be better prepared for the next new virus.
Most people there don't give a damn to covid any more
Read: The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons (Chinese monograph on using biological weapons, including SARS-derived Corona Virus – 2015).
Trust your instincts you don’t need science or an education to know when your being fooled
Is USA covering the death of those who received the vaccine ? ðŸ¤â€Â
Sinopharm is better than sputnik ,pfeiser, moderna.
No sht
I’m going to get the vaccine but I’m only getting one shot, if that’s not good enough then so be it, I just don’t trust pharma companies trying to push multiple shots because of how much it benefits them
They’re probably just not lying and manipulating their statistics like America
Everything is ok. Dont worry about it…Just be careful and stay away from crowded places.
Yeah but America's recording motorcycle accidents as covid death
FAKE NEWS
your fake news made up a fake death toll
all the doctors know your liars
but they wont say anything because the establishment will fire them
F*** the mask & vaccine
