Russia's new Covid numbers are increasing and is very odd..... [View all]
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/russia/I check out Worldometers and today I noticed that Russia has had a strange shift in new Covid cases and I wonder what is causing it while other countries, except for S Korea, which has matching numbers, and the US (the US is still seeing some increases but not very much).
In Russia...
On May 14th there were 2996 new cases, on May 23 (1 week later) there were 17,118 new cases.
A 15,000 increase in 1 month!
On May 15th there were 26 deaths, on May 23 (1 week later) there were 183 new deaths.
What would explain this?
