The Russian elite is under 100 people. If Covid knocks off a few of them, it is a national security crisis.

The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has said dozens of people in his inner circle at the Kremlin have tested positive for coronavirus, which has affected more than 7 million people in the badly-hit country.
Earlier this week, the 68-year-old Putin said he was self-isolating after announcing an outbreak among members of his entourage.
Cases of the coronavirus were detected in my inner circle. Not just one or two but several dozen people, Putin said, speaking via video link at a meeting of a Moscow-led security alliance.
Putin had been due to attend the meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) in Tajikistans capital, Dushanbe, in person, but instead joined remotely.

I wonder if Putin is being paranoid

Just like some "accidentally" fell from a high window.
Seems like another convenient way to maintain your grip on power. Pardon me for being suspicious.
