For now the numbers are lower in Russia than in many other areas.
Later, it may not make any difference as the entire world is infected.

In Louisiana, 32% of the population is black, with the mortality
rate for blacks with COVID-19 at 70%.  Why the disparity?  Lack of
access to quality health care.  Because most blacks have to work
in order to pay their bills, they get sick with COVID-19.  And they
are not provided health insurance by their employer.  What does that
mean?  Either they go to work sick, or they stay home and die.  For
those fortunate to make it to a hospital, it usually is too late.

>Pneumonia as a complication is a rule a descending coronal illness.

Of course it is.  Did the patient die of pneumonia, or of COVID=19?
How does one classify such a death?  Seasonal flu affects the top of
the lungs.  COVID-19 affects the lower part of the lungs.  While
people can die of either seasonal flu or COVID-19, the odds are much
better for those with seasonal flu rather than COVID-19.

Not a fun experience for anybody.

According to health professionals, some 90% of those who died
had underlying causes, such as obesity, hypertension, or diabetes.

Not everything is understood about the novel coronavirus.  Some
things may never be understood.  Will a vaccine be found that is
safe and effective?  Nobody knows.  We do know no vaccine was ever
found for the Spanish Flu.  And that pandemic broke out in 1918.

If I use the Spanish Flu as a guide, I could expect the novel
coronavirus to infect one-third of the world's population, with
ten percent of those infected dying.  With a world population
of 7.8 billion people, I'll let you and others do the math.

Half of the people who are infected have no idea they are infected.
Not wearing a mask is putting others at risk.

Those who know they are infected are either in self-quarantine,
or in the hospital.

>People with masks feel
>deceptively that they are safe in masks, and this fatal mistake is
>killing a lot of people.

Not wearing a mask is suicidal.  Since most people want to live,
I would expect those who are sane to wear a mask.  At least in public.
Except for Donald Trump, who has publicly stated he will not wear a
mask.

>So again the saving methods - hygiene, don't pick fingers in your nose,
>mouth, keep safe distance from each other, if you feel ill wear mask,
>stay at home and lie in bed, if the hospital is out of option.

Many people have to work, even though they are not sick or infected.
Even some who are infected choose not to say anything and choose to
work, as not showing up for work would get them fired.  So they work
until they drop, or somehow make it to a hospital where they later
die.  That is how people with no health insurance have to live their
lives in this country.  The land of the free, and the home of the
brave.

Louisiana - 32% black, 70% mortality rate due to COVID-19.
