Why are Russian coronavirus doctors mysteriously falling out of windows?
The three main theories, explained.

Three Russian doctors working to treat coronavirus patients have mysteriously fallen out of windows in recent weeks, underscoring the country’s struggling health care system — and leading to suspicions of foul play.

On April 24, Natalya Lebedeva, the chief of emergency medical services at a training base for Russian astronauts, fell out of a window at the hospital where she was being treated for a Covid-19 infection and died.

Yelena Nepomnyashchaya, the top doctor at a hospital in Siberia, fell out of a window during a conference call at her hospital and died on May 1 after a week in intensive care.

The next day, ambulance doctor Alexander Shulepov fell from a second-floor window at the hospital where he worked and had been receiving treatment for coronavirus. He remains in serious condition with a fractured skull.

Russian authorities are investigating all three incidents, and there is no official indication yet of what happened to the physicians. The circumstances around their falls, though, are more than a little suspicious.

6. It's impolite in many cultures to suggest someone committed suicide

Who pushed this one:

Dr. Lorna Breen, an emergency department physician, died by suicide last week after caring for COVID-19 patients in New York. Her tragic death is sadly part of a grim reality: The suicide rate among physicians is among the highest of any profession and double that of the general U.S. population.

3. Saw A CNN Report On Russia

Those numbers from Russia we thought were lies.....they were lies.
Hospitals in the big cities are inundated. They are putting patients in storage closets. The report actually had video.
Putin's gang has lost control of the information.
It's terrible there. Likely much worse than the US.
