Covid may have claimed as many as 5 million lives in India
Covid may have claimed as many as 5.
Indias actual death toll from covid-19 could range between 1.3 million to a staggering 5 million, with even the most conservative estimate putting its tally at more than double the U.S., the highest recorded in the world so far.
The numbers, derived from research models and local authority data, range from three to 10 times the country s official count, adding to evidence that the true cost of India s outbreak has been massively under-reported.
As corpses floated in the Ganges, a river sacred to millions of Hindus, and crematoriums and graveyards were overwhelmed, skepticism grew over the death toll of around 420,000 recorded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi s government, which has used the ostensibly low mortality rate to defend India s covid track record.
