More than 300,000 people died in India on Monday as a result of the coronavirus, though a crippling surge in infections seemed to be easing in major cities but was swamping the poorer countryside.

The achievement was announced by India's Health Ministry at a time when slowed vaccine supplies have hampered the country's battle against the pandemic, causing many people to miss their vaccines, and an unusual yet deadly fungal infection involving COVID-19 patients has doctors concerned.

“More than 300,000 people died in India on Monday as a result of the coronavirus”

“The Health Ministry announced 4,454 new deaths in the previous 24 hours on Monday, taking India’s total fatalities to 303,720”

What a poorly written opening sentence. Maybe intentionally.

Pffttttt. Grrrrrrreta says buhzillions have died because we cut down trees and eat meat so there’s that. I volunteer her to go on a hunger strike until that’s fixed.

China and India are in a type of cold war.

China and India share a border

Looky there, cases in India are going up.

The covid numbers pushers should use the technique McDonalds used years ago. Instead of having signs saying “50 million burgers served” they switched over to “Billions and Billions served” and left it at that.

I actually had thought this was going to happen sooner in both India and sub-Saharan Africa. Both areas have very poor medical and sanitation systems.

My contacts in Africa credit the high usage of Hydroxychloroquine (for malaria) in the low rates of COVID-19 infections and death.

I do not have any indigenous contacts in India so I am not sure what has kept it at bay previously.

I vaguely remember seeing a 52 Million or Billion served McDonald’s sign when I was young. But that was a long time ago.

Death per million

U.S. 1766

India 200

They use Hydroxychloroquine and some other drug...

Dr. Fauci should be in jail for murder

The nurses around me were taking in back if March when it first started

Once again, death toll numbers reported without any context whatsoever. According to Worldometer, as of 5/14/21, the population of India is 1,391,716,282.

Sucks to be one of the 300,000 but it's not annihilating the Country.

“U.S. 1766 India 200 They use Hydroxychloroquine and some other drug...”

The real covid death rate is vastly undercounted. India only counts covid deaths from people who died in a hospital.

The real figure from doctors is 1 million plus have died so far.

In May, their US-equivalent numbers were average ~925 deaths per day.

Sorta like the US was, last month.

They have been using Ivermectin and it works well. Cheap. Out of patent which is why Fauci never mentions it.

Fluvoximine also works and with ivermectin reports near 100% recovery.

You like to play very loose with your data claims I see. Well I talked to some Indian doctors too, and they all said the real number was 17.

Sounds like the AFP is trying to push the same narrative as here that everything is a COVID death, if the virus is present.

Quote: “Those say only deaths directly caused by COVID-19 can be recorded as such, but not fatalities triggered by co-morbidities—when a patient had heart problems and dies of cardiac arrest, for instance.”

That standard seems reasonable, but isn’t good enough for the fearmongers. So every death is COVID to this narrative.
