Hmmmm. So, a Russyan agent gets Covid. Goes to hospital. Gets worse. The man is only 59, not really in the critical cohort of old people. Goes on ventilator; drugs don't help. Man croaks. Sad. Not really. He's nothing but a murderer, or as they call them in the Largest Country in the World, an assassin for the State Security Services(the vast army of paid agents who conduct murders for the Kremlin wherever there is a threat(Europe, America, India, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan, Central African Republic, Algeria, and, oh yeah, Syria, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia.
Who was this covid victim? Do we have a name.? Yes, we do: name and picture, too. Dmitry Kovtun, age 56. Must have been mixing it up with some infected friends, or, more likely, he was given a dose of Covid in a sandwich, or a cup of tea from the old samovar tea kettle at headquarters. Old Dmitry has a long history of service to the Kremlin. He has been fingered by the courts in the UK as the primary suspect in the death there of a former Russyan agent, Alexander V. Litvenenko. Litvenenko was given some tea laced with polonium 210 at the Pine Bar of the Millenium Hotel on Nov. 1, 2006. He died in hospital 3 weeks later. When he told authorities that it was likely a nuclear element, police went in search of such evidence and uncovered trace amounts of the radioactive element in several places, including where Kovtun and his partner, Andrei Lugovoi had stayed during their trip.
Judge Robert Owen of the British High Court delivered an unequivocal finding in 2016: "I am sure Mr. Kovtun and Mr. Lugovoi placed polonium in the teapot in the Pine Bar on Nov. 1, 2006. I am sure they did this with the intention of poisoning Mr. Litvenenko". Both murderers were not extradited as demanded by UK police and remained secure in the Russyan steppes, somewhere.
So, old Dmitry has landed in the great Samovar in the Sky. He'll not murder again. But maybe his childhood friend, Andrei Lugovoi, will still act on orders from the Kremlin. Well, he won't be in the West anytime soon. But maybe he'll be dispatched to Macao or Hong Kong. Oh, wait, Beijing now runs those venues. Russyans would definitely stand out among Chinese citizens. So, I guess he'll be sent to Syria, or Yemen, or Sudan.
Good luck, Andrei. No, we're not sorry about yur friend who died in hospital of the virus.
