But heck, too much egg on people's faces, let alone criminal negligence claims, if the powers that be in western nations were to roll over and say heck, we had a fix all along.....

118 deaths per million. Pick a country of any significance, India's done way better.

#120 in the 'rankings'.

All that in a poor country with many extremely high density populations.

And that's before the classification of deaths fudge that seems prevalent globally.....

If we were landlocked, we'd be in all sorts.  It'll keep our "academics" busy for a decade ... if they're not too busy with their other pastimes of course

It was ultra-proactive because they knew they can't treat a billion people quickly, luckily the population is not highly mobile, they embarked on a nation wide house to house training and testing regime, more tests than any other country, They adopted an early scheme to make use of masks and trained the public and people how to use them correctly, they have massive fines by their standards for people caught in public without a mask.

They did all early last year knowing a vaccine was month and months away, but they need it urgently, because the measures they taken won't hold and they know that.

[member=827]capcom[/member] is correct, they are now experiencing a rise in numbers, Flyboy77 must have missed that using old social media posts again! : Glad to see Flyboy77 is back on the COVID is a virus message again, promoting anti-virals, good sign just one or two more steps and he'll arrive at a vaccine! Of course India has it's own sites making Oxford-AstraZeneca, but it can't service it's own market fast enough, it needs help.

One big problem for India is that it bet on the Russian's and they fallen short again it seems, Sputnik V has been denied a second time due to failing efficacy, that is current news.
