The conspicuous lack of realistic infection data from India, coupled with the extreme challenges to containment and control there (just due to the sheer crowding) is frightening, regardless of whether the poor data is intentional or just because India is hard place to coordinate.

That the published infection and mortality rates are so low strains credulity in the extreme, especially when much smaller-population countries at similar proximity to the equator but greater distance from China have higher case rates (i.e Brazil, Ecuador, the UAE).
