Nepal's Covid Cases Soaring Amid Fears That It Could Match India's Current Infection Rate

Nepal is now reporting 230 Covid cases per million, only narrowly behind India's 280 per million, though its healthcare system is even less able to handle the surge 

 

Daily Mail: Is Nepal the new India? Covid cases soar in the impoverished nation amid fears the country facing a crisis to rival its neighbour 

* Nepal has seen Covid cases a soar amid fears the country is facing a crisis that could be worse than the one unfolding in neighbouring India 

* It is highly likely that more-infectious variants driving India's outbreak have crossed the more-than 700 mile border 

 * Country has fewer doctors, hospitals, ventilators and ICU bed than its neighbour 

 * Has also vaccinated a lower share of population and cannot produce its own jab 

Nepal is seeing its coronavirus cases soar amid fears that it could soon face a crisis on par with neighbouring India. 

The impoverished Himalayan nation reported 8,659 cases on Wednesday along with 58 deaths - both record totals, though they are almost certainly under-estimates. 

It means Nepal now has around 230 cases per million people, just shy of India's current infection rate of 280 cases per person.

It might help to believe in the panic porn, if the Maximum Leaders looked like they believed in it.

Nailed it!! Examples of this type of behavior are vast. Clearly they don't seem to believe the threat is as dire as they're trying to tell us it is.

The Incredible Vanishing Flu

"Deaths are harder to measure since the CDC conveniently changed how deaths are characterized this past year. Instead of pneumonia, influenza, and COVID being in separate categories, now it’s called PIC, lumping the three entities together."

Rename it. Group it / Conflate it
