According to statistics released Monday, at least 186,000 died in Russia alone in November due to the coronavirus. This is more than three times the previous figures that made it the third country in terms of number of deaths.

Coronavirus: the second wave, the second closure

Later than expected by many, but in mid-November, the Hungarian government also decided to try to curb the second wave of the coronavirus epidemic by introducing restrictions. At the time of the decision, 5,000 new infections had been identified per day and the number of deaths from the virus mostly ranged from 50 to 100 in 24 hours. The first step is a partial closure, but how effective it is is questionable. Follow our news!

More than three times as many died from the coronavirus in Russia as previously reported, it was acknowledged in Moscow on Monday. Between January and November of this year, 229,700 more people died than in the same period in 2019, and 81 percent of the surplus was killed by Covid-19, said Deputy Prime Minister Tatiana Golikova, citing statistical figures from Rosstat.

The death toll from this is more than 186,000. Russian health authorities have previously reported 3 million infections and 54,226 deaths, representing a significantly better death rate than other countries severely affected by the epidemic. President Vladimir Putin also boasted of this. However, with current data, they immediately ranked third in terms of number of fatalities, immediately behind the United States (333,140 deaths) and Brazil (191,139 deaths).

The Russian government, fearing economic performance, is reluctant to introduce restrictive measures similar to those of Western countries.

The Russian government relies on widespread vaccination, so mass vaccination has already started with the Sputnik-V vaccine not yet fully tested. The vaccine developer says 700,000 doses have already been delivered for home use, but the government has not yet revealed how many people have already been vaccinated. It is also questionable how many want to inject. According to recent polls, confidence is low, only 38 percent of people would be willing to get vaccinated with a self-developed vaccine, perhaps it is not a coincidence that President Putin has already announced that he will vaccinate himself.
