I live in the Bay Area. I just visited my parents who caught Covid in November. Nobody wants to get tested in India. If you test positive, the local Government gets notified of it and they harass you. My father had GI issues so he was in the hospital for a week (and hated it), my Mom had mild symptoms. She had to get a doctor's note to stay home. Even then, multiple people harassed her at home ("we have to sanitize the home" - take money and throw random chemicals). I spent Christmas to Jan 7th in India. I carried a bunch of antigen tests and delayed my RT PCR tests till the last day. Did not leave home, just spent time with parents. In general, nobody cares about Covid in India anymore. Every family has lost one or more family members (my family lost 7) during Delta in April - July 2021, so there is a general resignation. The general Hindu / Indian resignation to karma kicks in and they have largely moved on. My parents felt comfortable doing antigen tests with me and not a RT PCR - and I don't blame them. I struggled quite a bit. Relied heavily on Gerson Duckbill N95 masks. Not surprised by these numbers at all.
