I had earlier posted that I am not confident about Covid Nos & few asked explanation

Attaching satellite images where SWIR bands have picked up fire signals in crematoriums(orange colour). In most cases, this is 1st time detected or ten times intensity detected in past

Images from NOIDA, Vrindavan, Mathura, Lucknow (Clockwise from left top)

Orangish -red colour is the place of the ghats where these cremations take place

DhoriGhat, Baksar, Bhitoura, Fatehpur Ganga (These are Mild Signals)

Unchahar, Manikpur, SringverpurDham , KarentiGhat

Prayagraj, Patna, Mubarakpur, PipraBrijlal

Dhanghat, GolaBazaar, Gaurajainnagar, DohriGhat (A farm fire also can be seen along with two crematorium fires)

Sahiagarh, Ballia, Ghazipur, Gahmar

Saidpur, Gaurapurwar, Nizammudinpur, Kaili

Varanasi - Funeral fires have been detected in the past but never in this intensity

Chunar, Saraiya Kamarghatta, Shivrajpur

Bithoor, Shuklaganj (Kanpur)

I can go on.. These are all seen just in UP (1 in Bihar) along major rivers alone.

But these many fires with the intensity (never been seen before) dont seem to match normal death rate. This is reason why I am not going to make any maps with reported death or case statistics.

So sorry for posting such depressing news but this seems to be very bad than what we see/told and I hope all of you stay safe.

I also hope Twitter hasn't reduced resolution for a clear view.

Also note: Some images like those for Varanasi are from today morning!

A typical pre-covid (second wave) image for Dohrighat in the left from 2017 April. (Mild orange can be seen)

Image from today morning in the right.

Ignore the farm fire in the left side of today's satellite image. But check the intensity of the two fires in the river ghats.
