&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s cumulative COVID-19 deaths are 6-7 times higher than reported officially, says analysis&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s death count for COVID-19 is a mystery for many experts. As of January 6, India reported a total of 346.76 deaths per million, which is much lower than that in rich countries such as the United States (2,505.11 deaths per million) and the United Kingdom (2,193.76 deaths per million).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The country&amp;rsquo;s cumulative number of deaths has been reported as 483,178, according to Our World in Data. The figure is &amp;nbsp;seven times lower than that of the US. This anomaly has perplexed researchers as India has a poor health infrastructure and death rates were expected to be higher.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While reasons such as low infection rate and higher immunity levels in the population can explain the low mortality to an extent, experts have often pointed out that India might actually be underreporting the number of deaths due to factors like incomplete certification of COVID-19 deaths and misattribution to chronic diseases.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abm5154&quot;&gt;analysis published in Science journal&lt;/a&gt; on January 7, 2022 suggested that India&amp;rsquo;s cumulative COVID-19 deaths were 6-7 times higher than reported officially.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;While this would put India&amp;rsquo;s monitoring system in poor light, it would also jack up the global death figures. &amp;ldquo;If our findings are confirmed, this may require substantial upward revision of the World Health Organization&amp;rsquo;s estimates of cumulative global COVID-19 mortality, which, as of January 1, 2022, stood at 5.4 million,&amp;rdquo; said Prabhat Jha and colleagues based in Canada, the US and India.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

India’s COVID-19 deaths higher than that reported by the government, indicate sample surveys -Vibha Varshney

-Down to Earth India’s cumulative COVID-19 deaths are 6-7 times higher than reported officially, says analysis India’s death count for COVID-19 is a mystery for many experts. As of January 6, India reported a total of 346.76 deaths per million, which is much lower than that in rich countries such as the United States (2,505.11 deaths per million) and the United Kingdom (2,193.76 deaths per million).  The country’s cumulative number of deaths has been reported as 483,178, according to Our World in Data. The figure is  seven times lower than that of the US. This anomaly has perplexed researchers as India has a poor health infrastructure and death rates were expected to be higher.  While reasons such as low infection rate and higher immunity levels in the population can explain the low mortality to an extent, experts have often pointed out that India might actually be underreporting the number of deaths due to factors like incomplete certification of COVID-19 deaths and misattribution to chronic diseases. An analysis published in Science journal on January 7, 2022 suggested that India’s cumulative COVID-19 deaths were 6-7 times higher than reported officially. While this would put India’s monitoring system in poor light, it would also jack up the global death figures. “If our findings are confirmed, this may require substantial upward revision of the World Health Organization’s estimates of cumulative global COVID-19 mortality, which, as of January 1, 2022, stood at 5.4 million,” said Prabhat Jha and colleagues based in Canada, the US and India.  Please click here to read more.
