Btw, I should’ve made it clear that this is the situation in the USA. Island countries or places with totalitarian governments can have a different sequence play out.

India has 4x the population, in 3x the space of USA. Total infections have only just crossed US total deaths. (Right now tracking at 40% recoveries). Definitely not an Island or a dictatorship.

Yeah but not containing it either!

Matter of scale & density. You've a population that's Bigger than Africa. Or Europe plus America in 1/3rd American land or 1/10th African land. Containment will happen over the year. That's the natural course of things. Even China with its Govt now has new clusters in N-E.

And if it's got 1/20th US infections... How do you say it's not being contained. It is. Bangalore has as much population as New York, so far it's got 9 deaths from Covid and is now opening up.

You commented on that video I shared yesterday right? That’s how.

Look. I know it's hard to for someone who hasn't personally seen the scale India operates on, to see what we do. (Not even China compares, fwiw) Indians themselves get overwhelmed by it. But that scene is 1 scene of probably a 1000 people. That contrasts w 40,000 recoveries.

I'm not trying to change your mind or your idea that "it's not being contained". I'm just giving you a perspective. Is all I won't get into the other video I commented on (where, I again reserved comments cos, for some reason expats/non-resident brown get a megaphone on India)
