Already on blood thinners so hopefully ok!

Even more important then to have the vaccine, as it seems COVID risk is higher for people like you and me!

The Indians are doing pretty darn well with this....

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.....

Can you qualify what doing pretty well means??

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.....

China even better at 3 deaths per million, well done China lol.

I'll quantify it.

Though their numbers are on the increase, India's death rate has really plummeted from their highest spikes during the last few months of 2020.  Early 2021, they were right down.  Now however, they're creeping up.  I said a week back that I do this research every single damned day.  They're is hardly any such thing as a common trend amongst any of them, especially geographically.  Multitude of reasons for that.  Political (look at the effin' basketcase that is Brazil) lockdowns, rollout of vaccines, populations, compliance, transport, health regimes.

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

I'll quantify it.

India don't have COVID deniers like many struggling countries.

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.

Are you serious?

I'm still laughing.

Guess you know sfa about India....

More than you it seems!

@capcom 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.
