Why is there no COVID in Russia or China?
Because Bob is an idiot?
For the record according to the Moscow Times the stats for Russia are :
Russia has confirmed 7,443,149 cases of coronavirus and 204,679 deaths, according to the national coronavirus information center. Russia’s total excess fatality count since the start of the coronavirus pandemic is
around 596,000
THis makes the situation close to catastrophic which is of course a
result of its low vaccination rate of under 30%
UK
66% fully vaccinted
5.8% one dose of vaccine
weekly excess mortality on Aug 1 - 11.4%
cumulative excess mortality on Aug 1 - 10.75%
USA
55% fully vaccinted
5.8% one dose of vaccine
weekly excess mortality on Aug 1 - 4.09%
cumulative excess mortality on Aug 1 - 13.68%
Russia
29% fully vaccinted
4% one dose of vaccine
weekly excess mortality on Aug 1 - 50.2%
cumulative excess mortality on Aug 1 - 22.08%

Everyone in the UK over the age of 16 has been offered vaccination and vaccination of 12 to 15 year olds under way with booster doses offered
to those who have already been vaccinated over 6 months ago.
The USA , EU and UK are merging from the worst of the covid pandemic due
to successful vaccination programs. In the UK there are still a high
number of cases but death and hospitalisations are now at a manageable
level. The same is not true of Russia where apparently covid-19 is
rampant in the Kremlin and Putin has put himself into isolation to avoid catching i even though he HAS been vaccinated.
