Vaccines are far far too late for India now. It takes two weeks for even the first dose to kick in, and huge numbers of Indians don’t have two weeks.
The only option is an aggressive national lockdown of all major cities with the military moving in to deliver MREs door to door and enforce effective curfews.
But even China would struggle to mount such a massive logistical operation, so I honest think the Modi government has zero chance. They have managed to fuck things up so colossally that at this point they are just going to have to ride this out.
I honestly think it would be a win if they can keep the death toll to 7 figures before all this is over, and that’s just inside their own boarders. If this mutant strain is as dangerous as I feared, it could reset global vaccination efforts and we will all have to go back into lockdown to avoid similar scenes playing out across the globe.
I am hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. I would advise everyone outside of China to do likewise.
