#India @mohfw, @NITIAayog and analysts from @BrookingsIndia must not downplay the scale of the #Coronavirus epidemic in India. Even going by just the officially reported numbers - which we know are an UNDER-count:
1. At 3.3Million cases today, India is at World No 3.
1. At 3.3Million cases today, India is at World No 3.
"But India is a populous country and per million people our incidence is very low", I hear the apologists say. Firstly, these are reported figures, we really dont know what the true figure is. And even if others too are undercounting we dont know that India's undercount is worse.
Comparisons are always biased. Take a global view. 1 in every 6 persons on Planet Earth is an Indian. And if you take today's #Coronavirus figures. then again 1 in every 7 cases is an Indian. So India's reported incidence is almost spot on the global incidence.
