        Argentina, Turkey and Sweden have more per capita. In fact, the US is about the same as India.

        I doubt the trajectory is as scary as India's.

          I also doubt that the testing regimes are comparable.

          I was only joking

              I saw that yesterday, I didn't want to post it, you get the feeling that this is closer to the beginning than to the end.

                The United States will immediately send raw materials for COVID-19 vaccines, medical equipment and protective gear to help India respond to a massive surge in coronavirus infections, U.S. President Joe Biden said on Sunday.

                          It’s fascinating that we think there will be a gas shortage due to covid impact on available drivers but there seems to be no impact in India to our economy based on all the IT and call center work we outsource- and it’s a huge number.

                            I didn’t realize that the funeral pyres were how they cremated their dead normally. They are just having to do so many more of them, they’re running out of space to do it.
