An Indian word for “100,000”. Kind of cool that they have one.

It’s a little bit confusingly written. Reading carefully, I see it doesn’t mean 37.07% died, it means most of them are still being treated.

Probably because 37% or so are still active cases and the majority of them will be cured when the virus plays out.
