"The current emergency in India:
Is it due to individuals not following guidelines or the government not issuing guidelines? "
If the government don't issue guidelines, there's none to follow.
Having said that, I doubt anyone anywhere in the doesn't know how to reduce the spread......

It's mainly down to the Government saying after the first wave that covid was on its way, allowing mass gatherings and political rallies even now going ahead..
Public picked up on that and they are in a very bad place now.. |

They are indeed in a very bad place right night now... the guidelines were extremely clear and it's clear the (general) population of India haven't followed them, distancing from other individuals is a basic guideline - what's not to understand? |

Agreed - that's the impression I'm getting but I'm open to more intelligence to inform us here in the UK. |

It's truly awful seeing the mess the country is in, but we are still seeing people crowded together, no masks etc.
They really need to start pushing the message of social distancing and wearing masks. Their government have really let them down. |

"There will be lots of reasons for the problems there but I am sure poverty and poor living conditions are big contributers"
Will there? Why will poverty and poor living conditions be big contributors? If these people were well informed of the guidelines surely they would have been able to follow them? |

Have you seen how overcrowded Indian slums are, with little to no sanitation for hand washing etc and the fact people live quite literally in each other's pockets. Hard to keep socially distanced when you have no front door to shut and the next family are almost on top of you. |

Exactly, I'm really struggling to understand why those messages weren't sent several months ago. I recall early on, about a year ago, being surprised at the relatively low levels of cases/ deaths in India given the sensuality of population... |

"The Indian figures per million of population are far lower than many European countries, why is the media making such a big deal of this?"

The official figures in India are woefully under reported. The people dying outside hospital gates, at home etc are not being counted. |

I thought in the early days they started off being really strick with lockdown and cerfews, even to the point the police would beat Pele with batons for being out.
But at somepoint that pressure eased off (possibly because the country couldn't cope like that any more) and things started to go wrong.
Part of the problem is the sheer amount of people in India. In fact the landmass of India isn't even big enough for everyone who is living there to stand 2 meters apart.
So once it started spreading, it was going to be almost impossible to control. Their only hope seems to be mass vaccination extremely quickly, or another total and proper lockdown (but I think it's too late for that now)
I only hope something can be done to help them.

All the sports people, cricketers that are playing in the IPL, Bollywood stars, goverment officials etc will be fine. Why do they need to worry?
They couldn't care less about the people even though its these people that put them there. |

In the early days India seemed to be very in control of the virus which surprised me given the density of the population and that's where I'm struggling to understand where it's all gone wrong for them now... |

Absolutely NO media hype at all.
We must believe EVERYTHING we're being told by the BBC. Hand-cock would've loved it if similar pics were of London 12 months ago. Really sells the narrative  |

Very much this! I always thought it was an impending disaster because of how crowded the whole sub continent is. They imposed very serious lockdown conditions initially and hopefully that reduced the first impact? However it demonstrates what happens if the authorities take their eye off the ball? The poor state of education must be contributing too of course? Poor victims. It must be just as heartbreaking for the families as it is for us who lose a family member. |

Even the rich in Mumbai and Bollywood stars are succumbing because there's simply insufficient medical care across the board, even in the expensive private hospitals. The richer people can probably afford to buy stuff on the black market so have a better chance, but they're certainly not immune. |

So what are the video images being shown across the vast political spectrum of news media? Why are countries sending medical aid to India? Why are my students in India suffering the loss of relatives daily? The only group in India sticking to the "official" figures are the Modi Government who stoked this whole thing. Doctor's groups, funeral attendants etc are all saying that the real figures are far higher. |

If it was an ordinary day in Indian hospitals etc, it wouldn't be live streamed on the telly-box. Even exclusive private hospitals are struggling for supplies and space, places that normally are premium places for the well-heeled. |

We've pretty much ignored it up until this week. I've never seen such outpouring of sympathy and tears for Indian hospital authorities before last Friday. Have you wet your undies as much for the hospitals in Rwanda, Kenya, Eritrea, Yemen (where there is a proper humanitarian crisis) etc? Or have the BBC not shoved those places in your face? Why not stream those hot spots live to your phone/laptop? |

Societies are complex, often with drastic differences around the world, of course. The approach there has been very different to here, as the culture is too. They were fortunate last year and fell somewhat, into the more recent rise, after relaxations. The government holds responsibility, having not monitored and managed the complex system there and changes as they deteriorated.
As often the case elsewhere, high poverty areas have fared worse typically. It's another country with huge division between rich and the very poor. The poorer typically become easier victims of a system that works less in their favour than those who don't need it to do so, to maintain basic security of their lives. |

Given this is a global pandemic which carries news around the globe and just like anywhere not following basic rules to not mix wear a mask was not followed they carried out protests increased chances to spread the virus but they government advised won't go into lockdown so obviously no guidelines either |

"It's harder to social distance if you need to work with others to eat and if your culture means that you're not used to it
But yes, lots of different reasons "
Nothing to do with culture it's lack of understanding the dangers that's why watching the news people don't understand the purpose of the mask how to wear one correctly standing next to each other it's like oh their doing it so we'll copy but don't know why but I'm about to be on telly so I'll take it off so people can see my face  |

Simply because its a new strain that is highly infectious and hard fought, it evades immune systems with ease and replicates really fast, hence why we are so worried about it getting a slight hold here |

Current total cases for India stand at c18.3 million for them to be anywhere near the average of European countries that figure would need to be c90 million, the true figures should, be higher and would still possibly be below the average European country per million of population.

In my work, I regularly speak to folk in call centres in India. They are telling me that the situation is MUCH WORSE than the official reports suggest. All around the country the hospitals are over-run and unable to cope, the crematoriums are also over-run and unable to cope. It is commonly believed that the actual figures are more than ten times that being reported.

It's argued that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was more concerned about bolstering his world stage image aby giving away millions of doses of vaccines instead of implementing strict social distancing rules and using the vaccines for his own Country. |

That figure would be more of a true reflection, however still 50% down on many countries in eastern Europe at the moment, per million of population. |

Good question. Hungary is a car crash if worldometer is to be believed. If nothing else this last 18 months has shown how much we need to filter what we are fed by media outlets... All of them. Many have been truly despicable with the bile and hatred they stir up. |

The population of Hungary is just under 10 million, or a tiny bit larger than the London population of 9 million. India has a population of 1 billion. Having so many people infected is just asking for more mutations etc. The bigger the infected population, the worse for the world at large and for the efforts in suppressing this pandemic. |

Having so many people infected is just asking for more mutations etc. The bigger the infected population, the worse for the world at large and for the efforts in suppressing this pandemic."
So the world shouldn't care about the high % of Hungarians dying so long as it can't be spread around the world?
Ignoring these fewer numbers is just as likely to spread the virus, because they will "slip through the net" |

"It's mainly down to the Government saying after the first wave that covid was on its way, allowing mass gatherings and political rallies even now going ahead..
Public picked up on that and they are in a very bad place now..
They are indeed in a very bad place right night now... the guidelines were extremely clear and it's clear the (general) population of India haven't followed them, distancing from other individuals is a basic guideline - what's not to understand?
So people choosing not to follow govt guidelines and have gatherings and protests... Hmmm... Wonder if its only India doing that?
Seriously though. Percentages.? Better than or worse than other places? It's not a contest. Thousands are dying in dreadful circumstances and its tragic.
Agreed so why is MSM making such a fuss about India, when some European countries are in a worse position?

We should, but the greatest concern should be where the total numbers are greater because that's where the most concerning mutants are most likely to arise. That's purely from a microbiological perspective. |

"I don't know but I wish they would sort it out because I want to go back to Goa xx.... Only thinking what other people are thinking lol  "
Yeah, so inconsiderate, people dying on the streets, can't they just stop dying so you can go on holiday? |
