#India is well on course to hit #4Million recorded and reported #Coronavirus cases by 5 September, Yesterday we added a new 78,512 cases taking the total to 3.36 Million.

How #India got to 3.6 Million.

The Global perspective. This from WorldoMeter.

Comparisons with countries like USA and Brazil (Much smaller populations than India but more cases) miss two important points:
One, if you take recent cases, India is way ahead of any other country.
Two, if the comparison is with the World average:

Of every 3 new cases in the World yesterday (220,702) 1 is from India.
Of every 7 cases of #Coronavirus in the World (25.4Million) 1 is an Indian
Set that against the statistic that 1 in 6 of the World's people is an Indian.
