First it was 2000 a day dead in India. Then it was 4000 a day dead from Covid in India, and bodies being burned all over the place.
Looks pretty terrible - except that on any given day the daily death rate in India from all causes is 27,000 a day. A 15% jump in daily death rate shouldn't lead to the catastrophic things we;ve seen on TV.
I suspect that, while bad as it is, what we are being shown is the Indian equivalent of New York in the USA and Bergamo in Italy, where those cities were overwhelmed by the deaths, but weren't typical of the rest of those countries.
And as I said - most of the vulnerable have been vaccinated - it could only happen here as you suggest may happen, if the vaccines don't work.
