- statguy 5y agoThe official Indian death numbers are a vast undercount by most accounts.
- alok-g 5y agoThe actual numbers in India are alleged to be an order of magnitude higher than the official numbers. There have been articles like [1] trying to estimate the actual numbers. The OP is likewise citing an article that's saying actual numbers are six times higher. I do not have access to the cited article to say more.
