1n Amusing that the doctor doesn’t get stress on certain crematoriums (visibly reduced now & was at peak for a few days) is because of the localised nature of the infection. Having cremated my dad at Lodhi crematorium - given how slow things move, it would’ve been overwhelmed by https://twitter.com/ashishkjha/status/1391238136961830914

2n even 30-40 extra deaths (clearly he’s never been to a crematorium in india - electric or otherwise). A non electric crematorium has finite stocks of wood - if you don’t believe me google manikarnika ghat & see how much stock of wood they keep. Also doesn’t explain how a press

3n that “speaks truth to power” doesn’t document such numbers, or how a spectacularly incompetent government is so competent at censorship. Therein lies the problem. All this would be immediately evident to most Indians but completely alien to people with Indian sounding names

4n for example look at this - even accounting for sampling errors you can’t have such wild swings in infections
