Can anyone explain to me why India with a population of 1.3 Billion, massively densely populated, mass poverty so social distancing is nigh on impossible, has had just 25,000 deaths yet Europe and USA with the vast majority of the population adhering to all the Government rules seems to have a lot more deaths?

Who knows how many are dying out in rural areas with no certification?

Lack of testing and collecting of data at a guess

plus maybe they only count a covid death when its actually the cause of death

25000 deaths? You mean 2500!

They haven't hit their peak yet and I doubt they will have the infrastructure or ability to actually report correct numbers. One thing is for sure is that they will be totally overrun and unable to cope.
