Any surveys of India are going to amount to a small sample size across the entire population - India is massive.
Also, they're almost certainly undercounting the extremely poor, a very sizable group that is going to fall through the cracks no matter what standards you're trying to abide by.
There's a reason the title says "may" - there's an acknowledgement of room for error here.
The point is, India, in spite of their lack of adequate healthcare, are showing mortality rates well below other countries. I applaud the attempt to discern what the toll may truly be, flawed as it may be.
I'm sure if it was as simple as looking at public health data then they wouldn't have spent the money calling people in a survey.
I'm fine with people calling out error margins for research, but do you really have to say this is lousy clickbaity work?
