India's coronavirus puzzle: Why case numbers are plummeting
Just months ago, India was adding nearly 100,000 cases a day - more than any other country. On Tuesday, it reported only 8,635. That's about the number recorded the same day by New York state, where the population is less than 2% of India's.In major cities, infection rates are even higher. ...
On Tuesday, Satyendar Jain, the health minister for Delhi, announced that a recent study of 28,000 people in India's capital found 56% had coronavirus antibodies. Earlier antibody surveys of certain neighborhoods in Mumbai and Pune also found that a large proportion of the residents had been infected.


This is similar to the Tokyo study from the fall.

So we can stop wearing masks and don't have to be poked with the experimental biologic agent?

Will be interesting to see what excess deaths looks like for India in 2020.
I'm guessing the obesity epidemic may be why some countries are struggling.

No, because we are first world obese.
