    You heard that right, Putin has had enough of the lockdown. They've been locked down for 45 days and he's got enough common sense to let each State handle it as they please.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52620015

    "Russian President Vladimir Putin says that from Tuesday the nationwide coronavirus lockdown will be eased and businesses will go back to work.

    He said the country's "non-working period" imposed to curb the virus had lasted six weeks.

    The easing of restrictions will affect all sectors of the economy, Mr Putin said, but some regions may keep tighter controls if necessary."

    I guess Putin doesn't have his own version of TV hound Dr. Fauci.

    Putin doesn't like to be held accountable during a crisis. So he has passed the buck to all the local governors even while cases continue to spike upwards.

    Amazing that Trump and Putin demonstrate the same inability to govern on behalf of the people they are supposed to protect.

    What's amazing is that people like you brand both Trump and Putin as dictators yet they are allowing the people to be as free as possible. Putin is following the principals in our Constitution more-so than so-called Americans like Governors Cuomo, Whitmer, and Newsom.

    And Trump and Putin demonstrate the same unconcern with deaths of their own citizens.

    I didn't actually brand either of them dictators in this post, but much like dictators they want to only pursue the path that benefits them personally the most.
