India has reported 5.24 lakh COVID-19 deaths - the most after the United States and Brazil - with more than 4.3 crore infections.

According to the official, the remarks from President Biden appeared to be unscripted, as he made a special intervention to say this before his prepared remarks.

      Eventually they’ll die. They’re too chintzy to properly fund life extending technology. Alcor will freeze them and fuck it up.

      To think, I used to think Nurgle was the least appealing chaos god.

      Psychic scheming? Sex and drugs? Endless battle? Hell yeah, sign me up.

      Eternal pestilence? Hard pass.

            ....uhhhhhhhh what

            the US has 300 million people and has 2 million deaths
            India has 1300 million people and has 5 million deaths

            India has 2.5x more deaths but 4.3x more people
            which means the US is doing 1.7x worse than India according to the WHO

            The age profiles might bring this number down slightly, but not enough to be lower than 1

            This is without taking the population in to account.

            that's literally the only thing that matters, lol. more population = more deaths if everything else is constant.

            By your logic, Nigeria is richer than New Zealand, because higher total GDP

    Well, sure, they have a buttload of deaths, but surely India's economy is doing great, right? Better than China's at least? No?

      ok, but the USA is obviously doing better than both of them. more covid deaths and a worse economy is better, right?

    Either he’s not playing with a full deck, or the White House is such a bubble that hallucinates everywhere in there with their own ideological farts

    This reads like a release from the Adams Family

    In case you wonder what happened: Biden used to be a pathological liar, now he is a demented pathological liar.

      I was never clear if these people knew better and were just lying, or if they were completely surrounded by people who were feeding them bullshit.

      It's definitely far more than that. And right now there are no regulations being followed regarding covid and it has been forgotten by the media.
