850 deaths out of 27,000 a day in India. And the pressure is for India to impose measures that will divert its limited resources from the expenditure on healthcare and sanitation that will actually preserve life, while depressing its economy and so starving its poor. https://twitter.com/ft/status/1386738624914395136
While western countries undertake a grotesque distortion of humanitarian aid and help not India’s minimal healthcare for diseases from which vast numbers of Indians actually die but on tests that won’t begin to help them with a disease from which they largely will not.
Not to mention pressing for social distancing measures that can never work in a country as poor and overcrowded as India, save to push millions below the breadline.
And, unlike in the west, that does actually mean starvation.
The most shameful charletons are those who cause suffering while pretending to exhibit their virtue. The Financial Times is a prime example.

If this is right it is a crime again humanity. And one in which our wicked government, ‘Opposition’ and media is complicit.
