A Million Indians Will Likely Have Died By the End of Second Covid Wave, Says Pandemic Researcher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt8eItweEkc   Prof Chinmay Tumbe points out this figure is based on “the most conservative extrapolations”. He adds the second wave is far from over and both in terms of cases and deaths it’s still way ahead of the first wave. Prof Tumbe also says the total death toll in both waves is likely to be in a range between 1.3 and 1.45 million. This means as Prof Tumbe points out, his estimate closely approximates the third of The New York Times projections published last week, where the paper forecast 1.6 million estimated deaths and which the paper called “a more likely scenario”.
