I forgot about that. It faded out real quick when people started asking why they couldn't keep up with burning a few hundred thousand bodies. Because Germany handled 6 million with no issue almost a century ago, right?
It wasn't even hundreds of thousands of bodies. Globally the death/day 7 day moving average didn't crack 10k until November 2020.
I really don't know if you can look at these hysterical pieces the media is trying to push and use them to question dubious historical events. How in the fuck does a region of 20 million people get overwhelmed by 31 bodies a day. It isn't strong enough to use as a reference point.
Edit:
The per 1,000 mortality of India is roughly 7.3/year. The population of Delhi being 20 million, the deaths for the region would typically be 146,000 or 400 per day. How an "extra" 31 bodies would break that system really gets the noggin joggin.
