It's not surprising that all the Tory loving, blue rinse brigade on this site, think that anyone whose opinion is the opposite to theirs, must be left wing anti-

Every country in Europe hasn't been reporting thousands of deaths. France, Spain, Italy, the UK, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands have. Switzerland, Ireland and Portugal have reported between 1,000 and 2,000 (ie, not "thousands"). Everywhere else has reported less than 1,000. Naturally they are helped by smaller populations on average, but even taking that into account Greece isn't particularly unusual in reporting comparatively low death toll.
I'm in neither Shanghai nor St Petersburg, nor any other city you could care to invent. I'm reporting nothing other than information that is freely available. You're reporting nothing at all. I would love, dearly, to see what it is you're basing your posts on.

Too true it's misleading. A Bankrupt country in debt to their EU masters.High unemployment. Pensioners who were well off and comfortable are now queuing at food banks.Islands over run with illegal immigrants and placed in camps.
The Greeks have a considerably shorter tourist season than their other Mediterranean counterparts and they rely heavily on tourists in the middle of a global pandemic?
Have some never heard the old saying,'Beware of Greeks bearing Gifts?'

Or, perhaps, by people who've bothered to check their data before commenting.
It isn't anti-British to report the official situation in Greece, or, for that matter, in every other country. On the other hand, it's anti-Greek to reject their figures out of hand with no evidence, and it's anti-European to likewise reject every other country's figures, or to mis-report them.
Again, I don't claim that the statistics from Greece are 100% accurate. I do claim that they would have to be spectacularly wrong in order to support your position, which there is no evidence for. Where are the reports of bodies piling up on the street, of hospitals being overwhelmed, of care home residents being decimated? Maybe I have missed them but I can find nothing. It would seem that Greece has managed, for now, to keep good control of the Covid-19 outbreak there.

Perhaps all isn't quite as hunky-dory as the Greek government would have the world believe.

Yes, I am sceptical (understatement) about Russia's reported death toll too.
Although funnily enough, part of the reason may be that Russia's reporting method doesn't automatically include Covid-19 as a cause of death even if the patient tested positive. So by some accounts that may make it *more* accurate, bearing in mind the "with Covid or of Covid?" debate. So it is, as usual, tricky in the extreme to assess. The implication of the article below is that we may have to wait until late next year for anything like a "true" picture of the death toll in Russia, and even that may be optimistic.
