India is an example of what happens if you don't fully embrace a lockdown strategy.
JAYATI GHOSH: Well, the catastrophe in India, I would say right now, is actually a man-made catastrophe, because it really reflects a government that had become casual, irresponsible and, in fact, actively engaged in superspreader events. We have had, as was mentioned earlier, massive gatherings, political rallies, addressed by the prime minister and other political leaders, in which all guidelines were flouted.

Propaganda.
ReplyDeleteIndia is doing much better than western countries in deaths per million.
Actually, PP, it's doing much better than the U.S. was ever doing under the former-guy-now-awaiting-indictment. Talking on a per 100,000 people. So, under that shitty metric it's "doing much better."
ReplyDeleteNow, if the Prime Minister of India, Modi, goes all stupid and starts talking about injecting bleach or shoving UVC light up orifices, then it will get worse.
Remember when the criminal with duel American-Turkish citizenship was pushing hydroxychloroquine and so poor Americans started scooping it up from their fish tanks to ingest? I'm talking about that greedy basstard Dr. Oz, that is who.

#63. Canada 637
#76 Turkey 467
World average 409
#118. India 151 - Modi rules!
3rd world India doing better than 1st world countries with supposedly 1st class healthcare?
Time to stop obsessing over Trump.

Some people stopped watching Jeopardy! for the two weeks he hosted it. We stomached him and watched it anyway.
Peter Pan,
ReplyDeleteIndia is under counting. Here, have a quote:
"Another 386,452 infections and 3,498 deaths were recorded on Friday - but medics have warned the true figures could be up to ten times higher - meaning there are 3 million infections and 30,000 deaths every day."

AF, I think you’re right. Yet, even 10x worse they’re still doing better than U.S.
ReplyDeleteAF, Dr. Oz is one awful human being.
ReplyDeleteOnly difference between him and Dr Phil is that he is a real doctor, and a brilliant one at that.
Brilliant doctor who just can’t make enough money ((worth in the $100s of millions), so he must peddle shit on tv and even host true crime podcasts. Wtf
ReplyDeleteThe West is over counting more than India is under counting.

ReplyDeleteThe Greek stat seems off
Nevertheless, PP, there are no food riots in Greece over onions and potatoes:
