This desperate schadenfreude by the UK MSM regularly headlines apparently appalling Covid death rates in other places – India, Brazil, USA with the effect for some of hiding the scale of the tragedy in the UK and especially in England and Wales.
Raw numbers in a big country like Russia can make great headlines for the Guardian or for the BBC and, unwittingly or otherwise, protecting the Johnson government from the criticism it deserves.
