Spade_Cooley 9,525 Posted June 19, 2020 Mikhail Ignatyev, head of Russia's Chuvash Republic until earlier this year, rona'd out at 58. He'd made some headlines a few months back due to a litany of bad behaviour that saw Putin lose faith in him, including dangling a firefighter's keys above their head and making him jump for them in public. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CastAway 488 Posted June 21, 2020 Former Bangladesh cricket captain and member of parliament Mashrafe Mortaza tests positive, alone with fellow players Nazmul Islam and Nafees Iqbal. First two have been taking part actively in virus aid work, which might explain source (though Islam says he doesn't know how he got it, IMO it's pretty obvious if you're on the ground helping w/ aid work.)
