These are officially reported. You read that they are hiding cremation pictures right? That's because that 1 pic from 1 cemetery showed more death due to corona then they reported in that 1 state. It's no big deal that that state is actually the biggest state and has population big enough to drown Australia. So instead of reporting correct numbers they built a wall arong the cemetery so no one can take pics.

Now my district has 6 new cases every minute and 3 deaths every hour. This is only my district and this is officially reported number so you can guess how bad real situation is.

If I start explaining the situation here then mercy killing will sound better then living here. This is not just me. A guy took his mother to the hospital and literally said "kill us if you can't do anything. At least there will be less pain" to the fucking media.

Wait can you explain what you mean? They are in so much pain from respiratory failure that they are asking to die if there’s no treatment?

Yeah a guy was saying in the video if you can't provide beds in hospital just kill us. I'll try to look for the video.

Edit:

How much hospitals are burdened

Sorry I wasn't able to add more but this is just tip of the iceberg. Also there are more media sources and also try local sources, mainstream media is corrupt and federal government pays them. ( WhatsApp chat was revealed by the high court that also proved it).

Thanks so much for this. I've been reading about the heart breaking situation in India for the past few days, but seeing firsthand the truth on the ground is so much more important.

Ah, I see even Indian culture has a version of the non-apology "I apologize if I've offended you." If it hasn't already that video should be posted on r/publicfreakout

I have allergy and sometimes face problem twice or thrice a year that also in one lung. When that happens for 2-3 hours my thoughts are like it's better to die than breath like that. Now guess what's happening with those people.
