As of Monday (April 6, 2020), the number of deaths due to #Coronavirus in India stand at 83. But I was also thinking maybe one ought to look at non-Covid 19 deaths too. Deaths due to various circumstances under the #lockdown #covid19 #CoronavirusinIndia

I've updated #LockdownDeaths in India to 48. There is some confusion about cause and manner of death in certain cases. I am working on cross-referencing various reports. It is safe to say that the deaths may in fact be higher than what is being reported or compiled.
Kindly tag us/me in reports you come across. This data will never be made officially available, so between all of us we can triangulate how many people died because of the lockdown and not because of the disease. If the number of people dying because of state policy is higher,
we have a serious governing problem on our hands.
