True, but wanting to take Putin out and actually killing/deposing him are 2 different things. Some reports have Putin firing a lot of people at the Kremlin, including some of his security. He appears very careful, if not paranoid. Those pictures you see with the long tables might not be his fear of COVID, but his fear of polonium or other poisons/agents. Or that illness from COVID might expose him to risk of being assassinated during treatment.
