Yes, I was surprised when India seemed to be doing well earlier in the pandemic. The sheer number of people and the rate of poverty there, make Covid especially difficult to contain.

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

You either have severe reading comprehension issues or are intentionally misinterpreting what I stated clearly. We have already reached herd immunity in most parts of the country... is that more “blah, blah, blah...” to you?

Just curious but are they burning the bodies on the ghat or just tossing them in the rivers to float away.

When you're a subcontinent with a population of 1.333 billion people and ruled by a centuries old caste system that allots virtually every essential service, food, medicine, social standing and employment opportunity based on which caste you belong to then one group with be favored over another and in control of what ever another group needs. India is a mess with the worlds biggest open toilet to boot- The Ganges River.

I call BS. O2 is the easiest gas to produce and is produced in massive quantities.

“Eight empty cryogenic oxygen tanks airlifted from Begumpet to Bhubaneswar using
@IAF_MCC
C17 aircraft to bring back oxygen from the plants in Odisha for use in Covid-19 treatment in the state of Telangana.”

Seems the problem is getting the O2 to where it’s suddenly needed quickly.

Pakistan has offered 50 ambulances... that’s interesting.

‘It almost makes you think it’s something else, intentional sabotage or a different virus altogether.’

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

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

India's birth rate is at 18.2 birth rates per 1000 per year, the same as the US in 1967. And it has been falling fast and continues to fall fast. Fertility rates decline rapidly and irreversibly with development. The US, UK and Bangladesh took 83, 95 and 20 years respectively to go from more than 6 births to less than 3 births per woman.

May you get a heart attack and as you call 911 may the responder say "I have zero sympathy for people who eat too many cheeseburgers"

In the long run, I have more hope for the antiviral treatments than the vaccines. And when viruses are very treatable in the early stages, avoiding severe illness and hospitalization, the fear and stigma of “catching the virus” is massively reduced, reducing the ability of governments to force 100% of societies into vaccines.

Half or more of the population never gets the flu vaccine. I never have and never had a severe flu illness. We all can get the flu any year. When we do, for most people it is very treatable.

Two categories of folks most vulnerable to the flu - young children and older folks with long term systemic problems involving heart, lungs, diabetes or obesity are those who are encouraged the most and who mostly do participate in the flu vaccine. It will become the same with the Wuhan Virus in time. It will be treatable in most cases and the most vulnerable will be encouraged to, and will, take the vaccine.

Glad you asked...? Just skip to the end if you want to go straight to a linked article on herd immunity from Reason Magazine.

You almost have to be willfully ignorant to go along with the leftist narrative these days. The "supporting data" is even being provided by the same sources that have been terrorizing the public for over a year now. But the language being used is being distorted in new and creative ways to make good news seem like bad news.

One has to be a fool not to be skeptical of all numbers about Covid given the abysmal quality of data provided by the record keepers... but even these numbers are now beginning to support the conclusion that most places have achieved effective “herd immunity.

The terminology used by authorities and the media is almost comical in its obvious intent to mislead. These days “new cases” refers mostly to asymptomatic people who have tested positive when being admitted to the hospital for other complaints, needed a test for travel to Hawaii or foreign locations, for various jobs and also to get life insurance, etc... etc... The PCR tests are so sensitive that they pick up many who have just a normal background level of Covid particulate and the majority of positives never get sick or become contagious but most do manage to have an immune response that results in at least some level of immunity. So "new cases" is actually good news not bad.

The “hospitalization rate” is just as misleading, the vast majority are people who went to the hospital for another reason but had a positive result when admitted. And of the “death rate” has been shown to be a complete sham from the beginning. Even my own brother-in-law who was on hospice care for a cancerous brain tumor was counted as a “presumptive covid death”. He died early in the “pandemic” at at time when tests were not available for anyone other than politicians and celebrities. But labling his a "presumptive covid death" was not nearly as deceptive as the large number of people who died from things like automobile accidents, gun shot wounds, stabbings, blunt trauma, etc... and were also called "presumptive covid deaths".

This entire exercise has seen pioneering new ways to mislead, and keep the public alarmed. Even in its final stages we have new and disturbing measures being introduced by those who have no intention of giving up the power and compliance that they have seized over the past year. It is incredible!

The following article is from March 17 and written in a way that enabled it to get past the almost complete media and big tech black out on any perspective that does not fit the leftist narrative. It is now being reported by numerous sources that at least 100 million people and probably far more have developed antibodies independent of the vaccine and according to these same and other sources close to 200 million have received at least the first shot in one of the regimens.

Every day approx 26,000 people die in India and every day 67,385 babies are born in India.
The average Indian home has 6 people living per room.

I have zero compassion for stupid societies. This is no longer 20,000 B.C.

Africa’s poulation is going to triple by 2100.

Do you really think they are going to stay in Africa?

Goodbye Europe.

Manufacturing O2 isn’t that difficult. They must have storage problems. O2 is common in many industrial applications of which India has plenty.

Africa cannot feed itself. They are totally dependent on the US and other parts go the world for food. If we are going into a period of Global Cooling, then the growing seasons will be shorter and there will not be the surplus of food we have now.

What will happen to to Africa, China, and India when they can’t feed their people?
