Just putting some facts and figures out there when it comes to this international outcry about #IndiaFightsCOVID19 and #IndiaNeedsOxygen .
The statistics are adjusted to the nearest approximation based on 2019 count but the significance of findings are just as telling

The population figures go like this -

USA - 33.1 Crores
Russia -14.6 Crores
Germany - 8.5 Crores
Turkey - 8.4 Crores
UK - 6.8 Crores
France - 6.5 Crores
Italy - 6.1 Crores
Spain - 4.7 Crores
Poland - 3.8 Crores
Romania - 1.9 Crores
Netherlands - 1.7 Crores
Greece - 1.7 Crores

Belgium -1.2 Crores
Czech Republic - 1.1 Crores
Portugal - 1.1 Crores
Sweden - 1 Crore
Hungary - 1 Crore
Switzerland - 0.9 Crore
Bulgaria - 0.7 Crore
Denmark - 0.6 Crore

Total so far ..... 105. 3 Crores

The rest of the 25 smaller European countries combined are about 6 crores.

That takes the total to 111.3 crores. Everyone with me so far?
Lets add the populations of Brazil (21.2 Crores) and Argentina (4.45 Crores)
Then the total becomes 111.3 + 25.65
= 136.95 Crores
Now we have arrived at lndia's population figure of 136 - 138 Crores.
LET THAT SINK IN

What this means is that the conundrum facing India with regards to Prevention/ Treatment/Vaccination is equal to the combined problems faced by USA-Europe-Russia and a few other countries thrown in.
And we have people and parties and lobbyists within that denigrate our efforts

I say we are doing a great job despite odds against us and to anyone who is inclined to criticize. Well screw you and the horse you rode in on

I saw chunks of this information floating around in social media and curated them by verification against officially reported statistics. The facts and figures therefore to the best of my knowledge are accurate.
