In a televised address, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced Thursday that he was ordering an extension of a national "non-working week," a measure designed to increase social distancing, until the end of the month, according to The Moscow Times.

He also signed legislation making it a crime to break coronavirus quarantine rules, with a punishment of up to seven years in prison and a sentence of up to five years in prison for spreading false information about the novel coronavirus, the newspaper said.

Putin said he would delegate decision-making to regional authorities because of the differences in infection rates throughout the country.

So the asshole is admitting it.

5. Same goes for US.

Official numbers are only numbers of those who tested positive. They are many more that haven't been tested.
