Regular mortality in India is about 7.5 per 1000 inhabitants. That's about 9.8 million deaths per year in India.

Population of India is about 1.3 billion.

Just to bring numbers into perspective.

It actually just shows that Covid is far from as dangerous as it is made out to be.

Many people in India live under 3rd world conditions in extremely crowded slums and towns. They have barely any medical infrastructure. The air quality in the bigger towns is abysmal.

If the exponential growths panic would be justified we'd have to see a way higher excess morbidity!

The truth is there is no exponential growth in reality because any growth hits an upper limit at some point. The western media wants to make us believe that no such upper limit exists or is so high that we can just assume exp growth. In fact all countries show dynamics indicating a rather low upper limit at which point growth ceases to be exponential and instead starts to either stagnate or decrease.

This doesn't really follow from your numbers.

If it did indeed kill 4M people, that's a nearly 50% annual increase in mortality for India, largely within a few months, despite restrictions and mitigations.
