Il numero dei morti in Russia per COVID è molto superiore a quello dichiarato

Tempo di lettura: 1 Minuto

Riporto una interessante tabella di un articolo del New York Times del 10 aprile 2021 scritto da Anton Troianovski. Il numero di morti che eccede il valore normale in Russia è 7 volte superiore a quello dichiarato come morti da Covid. Il fatto che molte morti da Covid sfuggano alle statistiche ufficiali è un fatto noto in tutti i Paesi, ma in Russia sembra chiaramente una falsificazione della realtà. I numeri fanno riferimento al periodo da marzo 2020 (aprile per la Russia) fino a dicembre 2020..

Note: Excess death estimates have been updated with recent revisions to last year’s mortality figures. Excess deaths include deaths from Covid-19 and other causes. Time period shown is April through December 2020 for Russia and March through December 2020 for all other countries. Reported Covid-19 deaths reflect official reported deaths from governments and health authorities, including figures that may have later been revised. In Russia, the government reports a Covid-19 death toll much lower than Rosstat, the national statistics agency.
