Had Modi Acted, 13 Million Cases, 1 Lakh Deaths Could’ve Been Averted in 2nd Wave—Bhramar Mukherjee

In an interview with Karan Thapar for The Wire, Prof. Bhramar Mukherjee explained the astonishing but disturbing and disconcerting findings contained in her recent paper on the second wave. She said if the government had declared a moderate lockdown in mid or late March daily cases would have peaked at 20,000 and 49,000 respectively instead of touching 414,000. She said this means by April 15 approximately 2.6 million cases could have been averted and by May 15 nearly 12.9 million cases could have been averted. That is a 97% reduction in cases. Speaking about deaths, her paper says that even with a moderate lockdown beginning mid or late March between 97,000 and 109,000 deaths could have been averted by May 15. That is 90 to 98% of the 112,000 deaths that happened between March 15 and May 15.
