For the amount of recovery cases that’s saying lot for this government is saying deadly it is By my arithmetic 7, 491, 513 recovered out of 8, 184, 082 cases means 692, 569 not (possibly yet) recovered. I'm not sure that figures in a huge and in some parts very 'third world' country are likely to be particularly reliable anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Perhaps the Indian health service is is better than our NHS. Or perhaps the numbers aren’t accurate. Edited November 1, 2020 by AVB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Statistically the recovery rate in the west is 99.8% which means 1 in 500 don't survive Covid-19. Almost the same as the rate for seasonal flu. From that it's pretty clear that the majority of people hospitalized, probably the vast majority, don't need to be in hospital at all. It's just the NHS being overcautious and placing their need to minimize any risk of blame above the desperate needs of the country to get back to normal. Put simply the cure is worse than the disease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 India, a county where the poor are incredibly poor, their health service isn’t amazing and I’m sure some parts of it are notorious for slums and people picking through rubbish as a living. What do you think their overall health of their population is like? Do we reckon they have a load of people with underlying health conditions that are managed through shed tons of medication? Do you think they have people Commonly (not just a few) living Into their 80’s, 90’s and even 100’s? I imagine a lot of countries that have awful health care and slum like conditions don’t have a load of elderly people or people who terrible health conditions already because a load of them have already been left to die from their previous illnesses.

JohnfromUK Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 The problem with all these figures is that there are apparently so many asymptomatic cases that no one really knows the true death rate - what we do know is that it does fill hospital beds pretty quickly.

AVB Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 There is only a 11 year difference in life expectancy between India (70) and U.K. (81) but I suppose that 11 years makes a big difference in respect of covid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I would imagine that this is all academic if you're number 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in the fact that the government has changed the reporting criteria several times and thus moving the goalposts, thereby making it virtuually impossible for anyone to make sound decisions. the latest example was the quietly announced change which ridiculously lumps flu and Covid figures together. It's the one eyed blinkered boffins leading the blind bumblers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) I have never lived in India but when I lived in West Africa which I would imagine is much the same as India, When people died in the rural areas or the poorer parts of urban areas their death and cause of death would probably go unrecorded because there was nobody to record it I can't imagine the figures in the poorer countries of the world can be considered reliable Edited November 2, 2020 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
