As the epicentre of the pandemic shifts to India, there is no sign of a peak in the world’s second most populous nation. As bars reopened Wednesday for the first time since lockdown, it is adding more cases each day than any other country since the onset at the start of the year. It is recording more deaths than any other country - an average of more than 1,000 daily for the last two weeks.

India’s fatality rate is around 1%, while Brazil and the United States have mortality rates of around 3%, in line with the world average. The sharp rise of almost 3,000 new cases in the UK over the weekend was the highest jump since May, prompting a ban on gatherings of more than six people as prime minister Boris Johnson tries to control the spike.

I love when people use 'as' to make people infer some sort of causal relationship. Even though there isn't one... For example, deaths have been near 900,000 for weeks and likely would have hit 900k with or without a surge of 'cases' in india. Way to deceive us !

😟🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏😷😷😷😷😎

coronavirus RELATED deaths.

Yes this picture is from New York and a Ignorant Governor named NYGovCuomo

There are still more deaths from driving world wide.......this is such bullshit.

I'm surprised it hasn't completely decimated their impoverished population, with the way they treat them. 😪😔

But the real question is, are coved related *deaths* surging in india? Or are they dropping even as *cases* 'Surge'...

Trump is screwing India now.
