Their attitudes help explain why the first nation in the world to approve a COVID-19 vaccine — and then export it to more than 70 countries — is struggling to inoculate its own population and has racked up record 24-hour death tolls on 21 days in the past month.
At Oryol’s Botkin Hospital, chief physician Alexander Lyalyukhin traced the origin of the latest and most virulent COVID wave to three weeks after the start of the school year in September. At that point, some Russian regions sent students home for remote learning. Oryol, like most others, kept schools open.
As of last week, nearly 38% of people in Oryol had been injected with their first dose, compared with 39.4% nationally. A source who previously worked in the COVID operations center of one of Russia’s regions said the country had locked down early at the start of the pandemic but then blundered by declaring victory too soon and going ahead with a national referendum in June 2020 on constitutional changes to allow President Vladimir Putin to run for potentially two more terms in office.
