It is true. One of many videos below:
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.
This is what was supposed to happen here.
Ramadam?
