We can expect India to have a reasonably low death rate from this virus. The reason why is the age concentration of deaths. India has a life expectancy of less than 70 years old. Frankly put, they die before the virus can get them.

You are not making any sense here. Life expectancy in India is about 70 years old. Most coronavirus deaths are over 60. How on earth do you claim Indians die before they get to an age that they can get coronavirus then?
If all people under 70 before they can be infected by the virus as you claim, then why is the US and Europe in economy ruining lock downs for everybody and not just the over over 70?

...and there’s definitely no social distancing.

The breakdown of deaths over 60 skew upwards. 60-70 is 6%. 70-80 is 12% and 80+ is over 15%. Mostly men.

India life expectancy for men is 68. They die before the virus kills them.

This effect should hold their numbers down, except a death to other causes but Covid positive will be notched in the CoVid column.
