      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 …

      Officially, Madhya Pradesh reported just 4,461 Covid deaths between January 1 and May 31 2021. The excess deaths seen in the same period are over 42 times the reported Covid death toll, though the entire excess death toll is not attributable to Covid. pic.twitter.com/Mmgj7LYya6

      I don't understand the number, honestly. This is the population pyramid for Madhya Pradesh. That many excess deaths in just two months is hard to make sense of. I hope we eventually learn what happened. (I am not making any claims; I don't understand it).pic.twitter.com/vKzSdHtH8E

      There's been high death numbers in other countries with low mean age (though not as low), like Peru. Also Delta is much worse than previous variants.

      I know, but we have severity estimates already and this isn't in line with them.

          It's consistent with astronomical incidence rates. MP is very rural and very poor. This means in many places there are no health facilities for miles. If there is one it's lonely understaffed. Little to no Covid testing. Certainly no treatment.

          See this news story from one small village. 83 people went to the now-infamous Kumbh Mela. 22 never returned. 60 of the 61 returnees tested positive for Covid. This was *one* village. Now extrapolate that to all villages from which people went to Kumbh.https://www.indiatoday.in/coronavirus-outbreak/story/covid-scare-madhya-pradesh-kumbh-returnees-missing-1796552-2021-04-30 …
