India has 3 times the population of US. Of course it will get to number 1 position.

Morgan Stanley uh? Sep 8, 2020

4 times.

Apple TimsCoocky OP Sep 8, 2020

Japan has half the population of the US.

Don't worry the deaths per million will always be a tenth of the US. I think that's the number that actually matters

Amazon inhrjdi Sep 8, 2020

Valid tests per million is also important

Google yAKt67 Sep 8, 2020

Yeah but that's maybe hard to measure. Deaths due to Covid is unambiguous

Microsoft Tattle Sep 8, 2020

I think total number of cases just tells us the magnitude of overall impact of Covid over time. I don’t know why more emphasis is not laid on active cases. Probably because it doesn’t capture the attention and doesn’t get the clicks.

Didn’t India have like 25% of the worlds active cases in August?

Microsoft Tattle Sep 8, 2020

Don’t know, they probably did. They are also getting like 90k cases a day so the infection is spreading pretty bad.

Amazon luvbezos Sep 8, 2020

It probably already has surpassed the US. Testing and surveillance is probably so sparse outside of the cities

Western Digital Troll Food Sep 8, 2020

Our Bangalore office have been shut outside of a couple critical personal. I would say they already surpassed us but testing is lacking.

Probably surpassed in cases but fatality rate is below US

How come? Better health care?

Thumbtack bgse43 Sep 11, 2020

I’m sure there are many top tier doctors and hospitals but at this scale I doubt everyone is getting good healthcare. I’d wager more on differences in virus strain and also potentially better immunity levels from relatively higher exposure to diseases in general. Compared to US, avg age and obesity rates are lower - maybe that plays some role. I’m not a doctor but just speculating.

Feel sad for those choosing the Modi option 😅

Intuit CA🔥 Need⛈ Sep 19, 2020

Me too. It’s not that one person will make wonder, otherwise he would have done already. It’s people who are spreading it.

Nisum Technologies QGGM24 Sep 10, 2020

Testing is lacking. Government not done anything credible to control the covid cases. Diya jalo, thali bajao etc..Go Corona Go..

Intuit CA🔥 Need⛈ Sep 19, 2020

Interesting, so wasn’t full lock down for about a month meant for that? India is making more medical supplies including masks to support people there. Tell me example that any other country, with such huge population and infrastructure handled it? But I am sure you won’t have answer

Intuit CA🔥 Need⛈ Sep 19, 2020

Btw, for your very kind information, Thali and Diya was originally from Italy not from India. And it was meant to boost morals and unity instead of stopping virus.
