No wonder India's covid death rate has really plummeted ... a billion doses?
Bloody good job so far and 75% with at least one dose.

Particularly when you consider the degree of difficulty!

Early on Indian officials initially got sucked into the Bolsonaro solution, a HCQ / Ivermectin black hole, I presume sold on the idea those options were effective and a safe cheap solution given the enormity of the billion people problem!
Things unravelled so quickly there they had no choice but to go down the vaccine route.
India and Bangladesh have also completed some very good fundamental work. India did very good early work on the efficacy of masks and how to make functional home made versions and importantly how to use them effectively.
Bangladesh did even better and they have published the definitive double blind randomised trial that proved masks work in both indoor and outdoor spaces beyond doubt, the Bangladesh study covered more than 380,000 people in two cities. They even did it in a manner that conformed to the highest standards of medical ethics, and by comparison all other studies are so small they are now irrelevant!

As if Delta wasn’t bad enough ...
Now we have Delta Plus, a variant of the variant. It is gaining ground against its sibling in the UK, suggesting it’s more transmissible. The CDC is keeping an eye on it in the US but at the moment it hasn’t gained much traction there.
