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.

And that a destabilized India is far, far scarier than the bloody WuFlu...

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.

The current population of India is 1,390,790,274 as of Monday, April 19, 2021, based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data. India 2020 population is estimated at 1,380,004,385 people at mid year according to UN data. India population is equivalent to 17.7% of the total world population.

That is 0.0139% of the population

India has been taking jobs from China. India was slated to be the new China, luring US companies. China’s putting a stop to that, potentially. I wouldn’t put it past the demonic communists.

The Indian govt is not giving out the real death numbers.

In the US, every death is investigated and a cause assigned. In India, that only happens in places that can afford to do so. The rest are simply dumped into mass graves or burned. Their death counts are massively low.

>> They have been in this death spiral a short time.

Borrowing ransomnote's pic... that spike looks like 4-6 weeks.

“I don’t know who is more unreliable, Government bureaucrats or reporters.”

From the pictures I have seen it’s bad. Did you watch the video? There are dead people all over the sidewalks.

They'll just chuck the dead ones into the Ganges anyway...

But the cause can be politically manipulated like dying in a motorcycle crash due to COVID.

India and China are not on the best of terms. Heretofore India has been spared the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you worked in Indian intelligence, you might be wondering if that Wusan military bio warfare lab is still functioning and designed variants of COVID-19 more infectious to the Indian genotype. May be far fetched but still would have to wonder.

Well, India has a very shaky health care system even in good times, and it didn’t take much to completely overwhelm the hospitals that they do have.

They can’t even get oxygen to people, which would save many lives.

Looks like they got hit with a variant that is more transmissible, leading to a spike that simply overwhelmed their system.

Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see. That doesn’t mean it isn’t actually happening but tread lightly in giving confidence to the media or the government as they have both been very guilty of lying about even the simplest things.
