India’s coronavirus deaths could be far higher than reported

India is fighting a devastating second wave of Covid-19 that is killing thousands each day as the country recorded more than a million new cases in just three days. Medical facilities have been running out of oxygen and ICU beds, with patients left outside hospitals waiting for care. CNN's Anna Coren reports and CNN’s Becky Anderson speaks with World Health Organization Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan about the state of the pandemic in India.

  1. In Bhopal a city in India,yesterday in a single hospital 10 people died due to lack of oxygen but deaths reported in the whole city was 4 just 4,its actually near 150 in the city

    1. @Cool and Purple Interesting, so is it perhaps closer to the capital the more they fake it? I don’t know too much about Indian politics but that might be due to proximity?

    2. …”Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. My name is Mr. Bill g.. Oh, these are my billionaire buddies beside me. Y’all all have your masks on? Ok, make sure you keep them on so you don’t breathe in too much fresh air. Keep breathing back in your old stale air and fluids. Don’t worry about looking like dehumanized, inhumane masked slaves. Because it’s for your own good. ….
      …….I almost forgot— make sure you stay away from other humans too. That warm, comforting human interaction is bad for you. Understand, Folks? Better yet, stay closed up in your houses with no foreseeable end. Oh, and wear your mask in your house too. And for heaven’s sake, Folks, don’t let your kids play with other kids. It’s for their and your own good. Because I (and my buddies) really care about you all. We really do! Yes we do……
      …..Oh yes, and for that (unproven) virus, why don’t you all go and get tested with the (unproven) PCR test for the (never-proven) virus? Even if you all are perfectly healthy and don’t know anyone anywhere who has ever been remotely sick or died. That’s not important, Folks. Just do it. It’s for your own good and everyone else’s. We just care about you. We really do. And to further show you all how much we care, we’re going to force all of you to get this genetic engineering injection— oh, I’m sorry— I mean “vaccination”. We don’t want any of you to enjoy a normal life, traveling, gathering and having fun with other people, without the injection, uhhh…vaccine. Because we care about you all. We really do….. Thank you for your time and Keep those masks on, Folks!”…:-)

  2. This lady is beating around the bush and not answering the questions … we did not see this coming? Seriously? This is a crime.

    1. Why are our political leaders so deferential to Big Pharma ? Don’t they know that India growth is exponential & it will soon get out of control ?????

    3. Our unelected stooge is telling everyone, “the good news!” There is enough poison serum for everybody. There was enough Cool Aid for everybody in Jonestown Guiana. Like Jim Jones, Biden tells the world’s broken masses, come, come to America, everyone is welcome here. Come and get your PCR test and vaccine, come to Bidenstown and drink the cool aid.

  3. I cannot even begin to imagine, the smell of all of those burning bodies being burned out in the open.

    1. @vik sara That’s fucking horrifying man, my heart goes out to you and your friends/family. I’m from New York and we got hit hard by covid but what’s happening now is on an another level, it’s so surreal it’s almost apocalyptic.

    2. @georgedrumz93 people can recover, practice Pranayama (yoga) it’s breathing excercise which makes lungs strong. People close in my circle already recovered.

    3. @Chinedu Opara Can you not see all the suffering that’s going on there? and you’re gonna use it as an opportunity to make a racist joke. Nice

  4. What’s even scarier is that this crisis won’t be enough to get some to stop denying the existence of the pandemic. My heart goes out to all who are losing family and friends to this disease.

  5. My aunt is really sick with COVID she is struggling to breathe with oxygen on. Praying for her health and every one else in the world!

    1. . Really?….”Hello ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. My name is Mr. Bill g.. Oh, these are my billionaire buddies beside me. Y’all all have your masks on?

    2. @aregua1 let’s start a life with no covid restrictions then.

      I sure hope nothing bad happens in that scenerio.

  6. This report is 100% correct !!!
    Totally inefficient and callous govt !
    Lives here are very cheap !
    Modi only understands interest of cronies !!!!!

  7. As long as the keep using the masks wrong the pandemic is not going to stop. They are spreading it all over while they speak, breathe, exhale…

    1. That was what I was about to say. By dodging the questions, she is no longer showing herself to be a true scientist as all true scientists search for the truth and are not afraid of it.

    2. WHO does not manage any countries. it is basically a consultant organization. You want her to blame another government? That’s NOT WHO’s job.

    3. @Steven X ……If she is a WHO chief scientist, her job is to explain the truth and not shy away from it. Otherwise she is definitely not worth the salary she is paid.

    4. @furry rupert WHO warns the world, but WHO cannot do anything if a country’s government does not listen. I think WHO has warned the world enough.

    5. Why are our political leaders so deferential to Big Pharma ? Don’t they know that India growth is exponential & it will soon get out of control ????? Waive patent right !!!!

  8. In this worst time shout out to doctors and nurses
    You’re the real heroes
    You deserve the real praise

    1. Well said junaid. Not only do they deserve praise, but real respect. And real respect consists of listening to what they have to say rather than those who would pretend to know more than them.

    2. Why?? They get paid to do their jobs!!! And they get paid very well…the absolute majority of them wouldn’t give a hoot if there is no money…..

  9. I’m in Delhi

    I can tell you, at least 10 to 30 times more cases and deaths are happening here, the no. are nowhere near to reality

    Me and my family was corona positive some months ago
    My friends, my relatives , my acquaintances half of them are having symptoms, but most don’t believe testing can help at this point

    And my cousin who was just 25 has died

  10. I always complaining about our gov here in Indonesia, and keep complaining about people attitude here, but see this happend in India, im so grateful, and hopefully everything will get better in India and everywhere soon

  11. This happens everytime a “medical expert” is interviewed they don’t and had no intention to answer questions. They are on just to read a prepared statement even if its totally off subject. All they do is blame the public.

  12. This is a horrible time for everyone, I have not worked for a year. I’m trying to stay positive but its very difficult as I have lost all my savings. I have tremendous fear of the future, but I will not give in to dread and depression. I pray for you all, and I know many of you are in similar situations.

    1. Mark, we are with you. We love you and we don’t even know you. We think about people that are in your position every day because we’re in your position, too.

  13. My mother was really upset after watching this situation in India, everybody is praying for India in this Holy month of Ramzan
    May Allah get all of you and us out from this situation soon.
    Prayers from Pakistan

  14. The suffering of ordinary men and women and the emotional toll on their lives is truly heartbreaking. God please visit these individuals and give them strength. Amen.
