People in India are dying in the streets amid a catastrophic surge of COVID-19 infections — prompting an oxygen shortage and mass cremations to deal with the overwhelming amount of bodies.

“The virus is swallowing our city’s people like a monster,” said Mamtesh Sharma, an official at the Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat crematorium in Bhopal.

Sharma said the unprecedented crush of bodies has forced them to skip individual ceremonies and rituals that are Hindu traditions.

Fauci is pleased.

Remember what Biden said during election. It’s xenophobic to stop planes coming from a country dealing with covid deaths. Let those planes into the country Mr President!

The country’s Health Ministry on Sunday reported another 2,767 fatalities in the past 24 hours, bringing the country’s mounting death count to 192,311.

Honestly, if we have over a half million deaths, I'm surprised India doesn't have a million.

“Honestly, if we have over a half million deaths, I’m surprised India doesn’t have a million.”

People on the ground are saying it’s in the million or more. The govt is only counting people in the larger cities not the countryside. One reporter said the govt said 28 people died in their town one day but he personally saw over 200 dead bodies removed from a covid only hospital in one day.

India will not be able to keep their true numbers secret like china.

I don’t understand why India is being hit so hard at this point in time. I thought their numbers were relatively low, thanks in part to the practice of taking hydroxychloroquine for malaria prevention. I’d like to know how much of this is true.

Give them time.

They have been in this death spiral a short time.

Even without this “pandemic” Indians cremate and dump the remains of 300 plus people per day into the Ganges River.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Stop that. They are just pining for the fjords.

[Gene Eric]

This is horrifying news. Thought India favored HCQ.

[Leaning Right]

Damn it anyway. This is all China’s fault and they are getting a complete pass.
