What’s the problem? They’ve got millions of people to spare. I know that’s cold but hey.

The definition of evil in three sentences.

The Indian authorities are probably hoping it's mostly young men who die from it, to counter the shortage of women they have from years of sex-selective abortion.


Nowhere nearly as bad as it is in China. But when almost the entire country aborts their first baby if she's not male, it has an impact.

Losing half their population (along with Africa) would do them wonders.

Typically a virus weakens as it mutates so either they’re lying or this is the original variant getting worse. On a side note, I have a feeling the white man will be set up to blame because since we’re getting far closer to herd immunity due to the vaccine, they’ll state this is the result of the vaccine causing the virus to be “locked” in India. We will then have to send trillions of dollars because “we’re racists”.

“The definition of evil in three sentences.”

Indias and Africas populations are set to triple by 2100 leading to serious migration issues, water and food problems and war starting over land.

I have zero compassion to people who breed like cockroaches and cause their own troubles.

“Vaccines effective?”

Vaccines work against the variant (preliminary, in vitro)

We are already at herd immunity in most places in the country, but the vaccine did not have much to do with it.

The American Left wants trillions of dollars for American Leftists, not a foreign country under a right wing government (which is what India is).

We know the Chinese did this and whether the WuHan Virus biological warfare experiment got out by clumsy negligence or deliberately to infect the non Chinese world, it was pure evil.

They look for viruses that cannot be combatted and stopped. We look for ways to cure people (including in military situations).

The Dems and others cover for the evil that came out of China.

The 100 million who had the virus certainly helped with “herd immunity”, but so do the 200 million vaccinated.
I’m seeing even “super ‘Karen’” medicos admitting the influence of “wild” immunities finally.

How many recent deaths?

In a nation of nearly 1.4 billion inhabitants, India has confirmed 16 million cases, second only to the United States. In India, there have been 2,263 deaths in the last 24 hours

I can tell off the top of my head from thees numbers that the story is complete BS. Do we even need to bother to do the math on this one? India has a death-rate of 7.4 per thousand people per year. So that equals 10.36 out of every 1,400. There are 1 million times 1,400 people in India, so 10,360,000 die each year in India divided by 365 equals 28,383 people dying per day. So is there even a measurable increase? And are they now doing the same as they do here and counting loads of death as from Covid which are mostly from other causes?

I believe there’s something strange in India and here’s why. Johns Hopkins, the source everyone uses for Covid data is VERY FISHY. Look at the numbers being reported out of Mainland China, India and the US. The populations of each are 1.44B for China, 1.38B for India and 330M for the US. Quick math says China and India are roughly 4.5x larger than the US by population.

Assuming the US numbers are real, China and India “should” roughly have the number of cases and deaths 4.5x that in the US as worst case. However, Johns Hopkins reports 12.3M cases in India and 30.5M cases in the US. Why is the US significantly higher?

I suggest India, based on 4.5x population of the US could be expected to have roughly (30.5M x 4.5) or 135M cases not 12.3M reported by Johns Hopkins. Deaths are even stranger set of numbers. Johns Hopkins reports 163K deaths in India compared to 500K in the US. Again applying the 4.5x population size difference India’s deaths could be about (500K x 4.5) or 2.2M not 163K. Similar numbers would also apply to China and not those reported by Johns Hopkins.

I believe India is finally reporting reality and/or Johns Hopkins has been suppressing numbers out of India and China for quite a while now. Take your pick as to which and why. The Johns Hopkins numbers I used are about 2 weeks old, but for this example, close enough to make a point.

Just like here in the US, right?

Those are lives and they are randomly chosen.

It’s not like you can just select Democrats or Republicans for the slaughter.

It’s a pretty gross statement you made. Of course assets are acquired when people die, but some of those killed were providing food for others.

WTF?

I have zero compassion for peope who keep making the same mistake.

Indias land mass is 3 times smaller than the US and their population is at 1.4 billion and set to go to 2 billion by 2100
If they are so stupid as not know what this leads to they deserve to be culled.

I would love to give credit where credit is due... But the virus has become part of the normal microbial background environment after more than a year. In most parts of the country the vast majority of people have been exposed whether or not they experienced any symptoms or not. And their immune system is already able to fight off Covid. The vaccine and related statistics are mostly made up numbers being used as a placebo to calm the public which has been terrorized by the media and politicians mostly for political reasons. There have not been nearly 200 million people vaccinated. That is an out and out lie. But this thing was too contagious to not establish herd immunity in this time frame.

Disappointed that you went “blah, blah, blah...”

You are the first person I know of to assume the CDC under-reported covid cases.

But each to their own.
