    Rather terrifying. It appears that the main reason India has "done so well" with COVID-19 is largely issues in death reporting 😕https://twitter.com/vrsrini/status/1404322526159773698 …

    #Hyderabad's "excess deaths" in 2020 (apr-dec) and 2021 (till May end) were 10 times more than the entire State of Telangana's reported #COVID19 death toll. @VigneshJourno & I) found from data obtained from #GHMC from 2016-2021 (till May 31). https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/excess-deaths-in-hyderabad-are-10-times-the-official-covid-19-toll-for-telangana/article34807214.ece … (1/n)

        I don't know how to wrap my head around this. As @covidserology puts it, it would mean ~2000 deaths per million in a rural state with a median age of 23, in JUST TWO MONTHS. About 170,000 excess deaths, over two months. Even if not all from COVID, this is a catastrophic picture. https://twitter.com/Rukmini/status/1403563967172153344 …

        Or is there a cover up of a much larger public health emergency occurring simultaneously?? I think it should be assumed a conspiracy until clearly disproven.

        This isn't even close to the do-nothing scenario that people still advocate for, either.

        Índia in my opinion is the real example off covid breaking (a Basic) healthcare system and even infra structures and then excess deaths from covid and other causes going through the roof.

        Yeah. Same thing in the western state of Gujarat. Where 65,000 excess deaths were reported between Mar 1 - May 10, 2021 whereas only 4,200 were officially attributed to COVID-19. There are states where they don't even regularly issue death certificates.https://twitter.com/niravb/status/1393224136172916738?s=20 …

        In western state of Gujarat in India; 36,000 MORE people died in the month of April 2021 compared to April 2020. The same for May is 27,000 in first 13 days as per analysis of death certificates issued by the state government. 1/2 Link is in Gujarati: https://www.divyabhaskar.co.in/local/gujarat/ahmedabad/news/the-government-hiding-its-true-figures-was-exposed-by-its-own-departments-123-lakh-death-certificates-were-issued-in-71-days-but-only-4218-deaths-were-reported-from-corona-128490344.html …
