      What's happening in India now is prima facie evidence of what this virus can do to a susceptible population when there is premature breakdown of social distancing and universal masks. (Rise of variants doesn't help this cause either). Vaccinate first. Relax next.pic.twitter.com/9j6dniriMg

      At this point we need to do everything possible to get the number of cases down dramatically and reduce the loss of life.https://twitter.com/VincentRK/status/1388459088330248195 …

      I'm convinced India needs a nationwide shelter-in-place order to minimize devastating loss of life from COVID. This must be implemented with adequate support to the poor. Agree with this article in @scroll_in @Lakshmi_RKG https://scroll.in/article/993572/covid-19-crisis-india-urgently-needs-a-nationwide-shelter-at-home-directive-but-a-humane-one … Thread 1/

      This is so terrible. Emotionally, I'm finding it very hard to wrap my mind around what that curve means, because intellectually, we know what it means even in the most well-resourced countries, even if we flew in all the vaccines tomorrow. What a catastrophe. I'm so sorry.

      It's unimaginable. India is showing the true of face of what uncontrolled COVID is capable of doing. So many young people are dying because hospitals are overwhelmed. It's extremely tragic when we lose people who could have been easily saved with just oxygen and dexamethasone.

      Yeah. We are about to find out the fatality rate for this pathogen outside of medical care and it's just so heartbreaking that I can't even think about it clearly, especially knowing how much is already horrifically baked-in. I don't know what to say honestly, just I'm so sorry.

          We won't really find the true fatality rate. Years later maybe through census efforts. Most of deaths in rural setting won't even be recorded as deaths in medical certificates of short. They will just go unreported.

          You won't know for years if ever what the true fatality rate is. They aren't being recorded. All we know is that it could easily be 5x the reported deaths if not more. There's a shortage of firewood to burn bodies. That should tell you everything.

          I hope we don’t become crippled by the scale of the problem and end doing very little to intervene. That would be very wrong. We need to do much more.

          Does this mean @@zeynep will stop criticizing the CDC’s slow, gradual, approach to lifting COVID restrictions?
