42 Lakhs death claimed by The New York Times due to Corona Virus, Our Indian government rejects.
According to the recent reports of the The New York Times, our India had more than 42 Lakhs death due to Corona Virus, officially our India had claimed more than 3 lakhs death due to Corona Virus, so our Indian government had dismissed the report of the New York Times.
Currently, Our external affairs minister S Jaishankar is in US, during in a meeting in New York, He in a certain way a hints that the New York Times is defaming the Narendra Modi government using their political effort.
The government on Thursday, dismissed as “completely baseless” a recent New York Times report on Covid-19 so called Corona Virus toll in India, saying it is backed by any evidence. At a press conference, the Union Health Ministry said the report is absolutely false and based on “distorted estimates”.
According to latest officials report the case is coming out of coronavirus is currently more than 1.6 lacs.
The New York Times Claim
According to the The New York Times our country had more than 700 million infection of corona virus out of which approximately 4.2 million people were died, this means more than half of the the population of our country had corona virus.
The question arises now how they estimated this figure? The New York Time claims they have generated through the the government’s serosurvey report,
Each Serosurvey conducted at various points in the pandemic revealed that the corona virus spread in India is 13.5, 28.5 and 26.1 times higher, respectively. Than the official tally since data revealed more number of people who had develop antibodies then the total number of infection figures shared by the government.
Citing poor record keeping and lack of widespread testing, the report said getting a clear picture of the total number of inflections in the country was hard. Further, it said the under count was “more pronounced, for technical, cultural and logistical regions. “Because hospitals for over helmed, many covid deaths occurred at home, especially in rural areas, Thus omitted from the official count. Laboratories that cool confirm the cause of the death are equally swamped, ” Kayoko Shioda.
The New York Times also noted that event in aur normal year, about 4 out of 5 deaths in India were not medically investigate.
NITI Aayog Member(Health) V. K. Paul send that the report is based on distorted estimations. He said the problem in the analysis “when certain number is thrown as mortality rate out of the infection”.
“On what basis this group pull out of infection mortality rate of of 0.3 % in one scenario and 0.15 another scenario and 0.6 in another scenario. On what basis, this is just an assumption and a feeling of some people and this is something that should have not published particularly in so called prestigious publication.
He further said that if the same method is used, then by that estimate New York reported 50,000 in May. “I make it six times, it is 90000 deaths, and if I do it 12 times, it is 1.75 lakh deaths but they don’t say that, they say it is 16000. What I mean to say here is this is a distorted estimate for mortality.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has alleged that a “political effort” is underway to tarnish Narendra Modi LED government image. Jaishankar, who is visiting the United States of America, said that there is a difference between the “concocted”, political imagery and the actual governance record of the government.
“We are actually giving free food to as many 800 million people. We have put money into the 400 million people bank account. This is what this government did. The foreign minister said during the conversation in New York that India is going through a”very stressful” time, right now because of the covid-19 pandemic.
“Now, if you are feeding more than two and half population of US and you are funding more than population of the US and you are doing this pretty much anonymously. We are not asking anything more. There is no criteria of discrimination, ” he said.
