In June 2020, India had a COVID death rate of ~ 3%. For the current wave, it's ~ 1%. This is a result of rapid health system strengthening. PPEs, beds, vaccines, testing kits - the country worked on every front.
Salute to the tiredless efforts of millions involved in this!

In 1st wave, Sept 16 had highest cases while sept 19 had highest deaths. Conservatively, let's take a 7 day period.
Taking a base of 126,789 cases on April 7 & death rate of yday, the mortality rate is still ~ 1%!
