CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

I'll quantify it.

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.....

India don't have COVID deniers and conspiracists dominating debate like many struggling countries. Despite some mixed messages, the Indian Gov has been ultra-proactive.

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 and they actually apply them. They taught the general public how to sterilise surfaces and clothing using alcohol, and also taught them how to sterilise reusable masks.

They did all this early last year knowing a vaccine was month and months away, it helped them slow the spread, but they need vaccine urgently now and they know it, because the measures they've taken won't hold and they know that as well.
