MOSCOW (AP) — Russia on Sunday reported a record daily death toll from COVID-19, the fifth time in a week that deaths have hit a new high.

The national coronavirus task force said 890 deaths were recorded over the past day, exceeding the 887 reported on Friday. The task force also said the number of new infections in the past day was the second-highest of the year at 25,769.

Overall, Russia, a nation of 146 million people, has Europe's highest death toll from the pandemic, nearly 210,000 people.

Yet despite the country's persistent rise in daily deaths and new cases, Russian officials say there are no plans to impose a lockdown. Mask-wearing regulations are in place but are loosely enforced.

1. compared to the USA

330M with 700,000 deaths, Russia is doing fair.

.0014189 for Russia versus .00212 for USA.

2. As with India, Brazil, the US, and others, Russia's death toll is an undercount...

The only question is by how much.

3. Why does everyone keep China off the cheat list???

4. Probably because even when you look at "excess deaths" their COVID death numbers are

in the single digit thousands. Even if they are fudging the numbers, or were at one time, they are about 1% of the deaths of the US, India, or Brazil.
