Sergei Sobyanin, Moscow's Mayor, gave a sobering revelation on the number of people in his city that he believes have been infected with the Chinese Communist Wuhan Coronavirus.
Newsweek reported, “Sobyanin wrote on his blog that testing in the Russian capital had shown that around 2 percent of residents had COVID-19, although he praised Muscovites for adhering to restrictions to curb the spread of the virus. Moscow, which as at the epicenter of the pandemic in Russia, has by some estimates around 12.7 million people, meaning that over 250,000 have been infected, according to Sobyanin’s figures.”
“According to the results of screening studies of various population groups, the actual number of cases is about two percent of the total number of Moscow residents,” Sobyanin wrote, according to Newsweek.
If Sobyanin's numbers are correct, that would mean Moscow has more coronavirus cases than the Big Apple, which last was reported to be 177,000 confirmed cases, according to The New York Times, a former newspaper.
As it now stands, there are 67,686 deaths in the U.S.A. with a total of 1,158,341 infected cases.
Observers have noted that due to it's low rate of testing, Russia could be underreporting both the number of infections and the number of cases. In the early stages of the pandemic, Russia reported a spike in the number of pneumonia cases, a complication of COVID-19 infection, which were not attributed to the virus.
Even Putin has self-isolated for several weeks after he came into contact with a doctor at a Moscow hospital who later tested positive for COVID-19.
Putin admitted last week that the country had a shortage of medical supplies and that the worst was yet to come for Russia.
Worldwide, as of this posting, there are 3,526,178 infected cases with 247,971 deaths from the virus.
