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.

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.

That’s because HCQ is not the magic bullet some would like it to be

It is true. One of many videos below:

https://youtu.be/hVVlxzjtrjw

What happened was a perfect confluence of three things:

1) The world’s largest religious festival that served as a super-spreader event
2) Large political rallies (and India knows how to do ‘large’)
3) A healthcare system that simply couldn’t cope with a sudden influx of many sick people needing urgent attention.

As for how much of what you see is true, the irony is that it is NOT. The truth is far worse than what you’re seeing. Like the Chinese government, the Indian government is trying to suppress real numbers. Unlike China though, India is not able to pull the same dacronian moves and thus information is coming out.

It’s a nightmare over there. Not politics, no Democrats or Republicans there. Just people trying to survive in a healthcare system that has burst its seams.

Widespread reports from across India accuse the government of massive under reporting. They already got caught hiding COVID-19 deaths last year: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-54985981

HCQ doesn’t work. It appeared promising at first, but we now know - conclusively - that it’s useless with COVID-19. Same with Remdesivir. Mostly the same with Ivermectin (appears potentially useful at reducing hospitalization rates if given well before the case escalates, but useless once somebody is very ill). The only thing that’s worked well is the treatment President Trump got: monoclonal antibody therapy. And that’s not a perfect cure-all by any stretch. It’s also way too expensive for nearly all Indians.

It doesn’t work, Rachel Maddow said so.

China and India have some battles going. This was probably a new gift from Fauxi’s lab.

Some articles on FR have said that India was doing well as long as they were using the Ivermectin.

They have recently xut back on its use and are depending on the vaccines instead.

That could explain it.

“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.”

I have read reports some treatments are not working anymore since the virus mutated. Maybe India has one of those strains in this breakout.

This out of left field turn is as crazy as everything else with this COVID-19 crap from day one. None of it makes any sense, unless someone is pulling the strings for the Reset Cabal. Why hasn’t anyone said a thing about HCQ and Ivermectin? It’s all as strange as it gets. With HCQ and Ivermectin, it doesn’t matter what iteration of the virus is in India, the therapeutics are equally effective, but they need to be administered at the first sign of illness or better yet taken prophetically.

Unsanitary living conditions, over population, inadequate medical facilities and treatment centers......

It is lies. Their government is killing them.
