Hi, Is there anyone out there cataloguing deaths in India caused by lockdowns? At some point we ought to ask which one kills more people, right?
Undiagnosed and untreated cancer, chronic illnesses, heart attacks, malnutrition due to no money in pocket or due to unavailability of means to get care to those that need it : these are caused or exacerbated by lockdowns. Suicide and alcoholism owing to 21st century untouchability practices as well (aka social distancing). Aside from locking up the population in tiny houses with poor circulation, and having everybody congregate in a few places during limited opening hours for essentials - which are fantastic ways to... do what, who knows. Also, here in Pune all flat owners have been hit with Rs.5k or more "scrapping of concession" in property tax - Increased taxes along with decreased or halted income will be another long term side-effect of lockdown solutions passionately advocated by people who only have hammers in their toolboxes. Anybody keeping counts on lockdown induced deaths? Or is the maniacal PCR-positive numbers chase months after even WHO (and scores of sensible doctors before them) had announced that they're unreliable and must be accompanied with clinical diagnosis confirmation to qualify as an actual case, the only game in data-town? -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ https://nikhilvj.co.in -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
