India’s Pandemic Death Toll Keeps Climbing

“Ravaged by a brutal second wave, India recorded 4,454 deaths on Monday, making it the third country in the world after the United States and Brazil to surpass more than 300,000 coronavirus deaths,” the Washington Post reports.

“The virus has receded from major cities like Mumbai and Delhi as hospital beds free up and oxygen shortages ease. But its spread into rural areas remains a worry. People in the countryside are reporting deaths after covid-like symptoms without ever being tested or treated for the virus.”
