India reported ZERO covid deaths in the past 24 hours.
Time to stop listening to Fauci and start listening to Vishnu.
Best observation of the thread!
Well, ok, it wasn't a very high bar, but, you did clear it by quite a bit. ;-)

Well.... Fauci has been pretty "curb-to-curb" at times (the complaint unfairly and inaccurately hurled at DJT.) But from everything I've read, the Indians themselves are a bit surprised by how well they've reduced COVID-19 fatalities. There seem to be a number of factors at work, not the least of which is a much younger demographic, fewer co-morbidities (such as obesity), almost universal acceptance of masks, HCQ, perhaps herd immunity already reached in the slums via a similar but less lethal "predecessor" Corona virus, and, a lot of the population that would be at risk is already dead of one of the other diseases common in India. Etc.
HCQ is obviously doable, but some of those above are unacceptable alternatives, and some are just impractical. (How do we propose to slim down a minimum of 100 million Americans and get them in shape in a year without truly tyrannical mandates and control?) The best we can do is learn and apply what is practical, such as increasing vaccine supply, and increasing the supply of N95 masks for vulnerable people who want them.
