Yeesh! I was thinking it was a matter of time before the virus really took off there. India seems like the ideal place for a virulent disease to take hold.

BBC

Not sure how accurate this source is, but Worldometers reports 23.3M confirmed cases and 250k deaths. It's reasonable to assume the number the infection rate is much higher than the death rate, but this surge has taken place during the past month.

"The leading killers in India in the recent past were ischemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and stroke. These are accounting for 32% of all the deaths happened in the recent past."

And let’s all remember how Biden denied their request for our surplus vaccines.

Oh wait, I guess these aren’t the right type of Asians Democrats care about.

I’m no geography major, but isn’t India like really really close to China? How come it took over a full year for the beer bug to make it all the way next-door?

China has unleashed a variant version of what they gave us in retaliation for the border clash last year.

Yeah, I’ve been looking at India shocked something like this hasn’t happened earlier, unlike most third world hellholes, they are not governed by dictators and are a pretty straight forward no bullshite type people. They’re probably telling us the truth.

Well, the news has had quite the history of giving us essentially fake stories about
-Mobile morgues to handle the dead (empty)
-Frozen trucks to handle the dead
-Packed hospitals (that were visited and empty)
-Hospital overflow tents in parking lots (often empty)

This is probably real news, since this is a country that is just now overcoming its open defecation issues, but I'm still having trouble believing the news.
