Weird.

Some Russian politicians and Kremlin officials have resorted to wearing badges that supposedly offer protection against the coronavirus as the epidemic takes a toll on their ranks.

One Japanese-made badge — a plastic white cross that sells for 867 rubles ($12) on the pharmacy website apteka.ru — has been seen on several deputies in the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament. President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who this week said he had fallen ill with Covid-19, also wore a protective badge for a time.
