It is disconcerting that the death toll in Russia has remained essentially flat at around 800/day since July. Afaik, that is unlike any other country, where the deaths have risen and fallen in waves.

Russia reports record daily COVID deaths
Health authorities register 852 deaths on Tuesday as cases continue to rise amid low vaccine uptake rates.
28 Sep 2021
Russia has recorded its highest single-day coronavirus death toll during a surge in infections fuelled by the highly infectious Delta variant and a stuttering mass vaccination drive.
On Tuesday, authorities reported 852 deaths in the preceding 24 hours. The previous record figure for a single day was 828 deaths, registered on September 24.
Overall, Russia has recorded more than 205,000 COVID-19 deaths since the pandemic began, according to official figures.
The tally represents the highest death toll in Europe and fifth-highest globally.
There are now mounting concerns a fourth wave of infections is under way, weeks after millions of Russian students returned to schools and colleges.
Since last Thursday, the state coronavirus task force has been reporting more than 21,000 new daily cases, up from an average of about 18,000 in mid-September.
Authorities registered 21,559 new infections on Tuesday, down from the 22,236 reported on Monday.
Despite the rising caseload, few nationwide public restrictions have been put in place. Russia had one, six-week lockdown early this year...Last edited by kiwibird; October 20, 2021, 08:55 AM.
