Were I Putin I would definitely encourage the West to worry about disease in Russia.
I am NOT saying this isn't true, but I am saying the Russians seem unusually quick to report this, which is something that they normally would have sought to bury. I suspect Putin has ulterior motives.

Coincidence that China and Russia weeks prior to this ran a joint exercise in pandemic preparedness. Also there are reports from Mongolia of 3 cases of pneumonic plague that came from animals.Reports from China of a new covid strain that is effecting people 20-40 yrs of age with estimates of possible deaths from it at 20 million.
