India went back to Ivermectin, so the problem with the virus is starting to wind down now.

The CCP has obviously released a bio weapon on India.
Maybe even a different strain.
Bombing the Wuhan lab probably wouldn’t help either because the CCP is most certainly just using it as a decoy now.
In unrelated news, internet scams have dropped to their lowest levels since 2005

Hmmph - imagine needing permission from the government to bury someone in your own backyard....
I appreciate, though, that they specified: "dead".

Newly arrived Indian immigrant the first day at his California tech job:
“So I have a cough, loss of sense of smell and I’m running a high fever. Let me blow some mucus into my neti pot at my desk and do a full cleansing purge in the men’s room and fast for 48 hours. I’ll be okay in no time.”

Meanwhile no travel ban to and from India and the borders are wide open here. That is because their death rate has surged... from 27,000 people a day under normal circumstances to maybe 28,000 on a recent bad day. Nearly 1.4 Billion people live in India and some of them die on a regular basis. It is a sh*t hole country that is further south than Mexico. When it gets hotter there this time of the year more people tend to die from various factors. Politicians in India have recently realized that they may have squandered a good opportunity by not taking advantage of Covid hysteria. Better late than never.

I remember stories of Italy’s cremations beyond capacity also.
Never realized those had such limited capacity.

...there are instances where patients are brought dead to hospital... Sounds like boom times for organized crime in India.
