India: Over 300,000 cases daily for 3 weeks so far

Authorities have confirmed more than 300,000 coronavirus cases daily for nearly three weeks. On Friday, they confirmed 414,188 new cases, a global record since the coronavirus pandemic began. And scientists say the real numbers are likely much higher.

If you think it was bad here in the U.S. last Winter it is now Much much worse in India with no evidence of it ending or getting better any time soon. 

Note: The reason that the numbers are actually much higher is that at least 70% of the people or more have no health insurance. So, they likely won't be tested at any point unless they find a free clinic to test them. So, likely 70% of the deaths won't be reported as coronavirus deaths as a direct result. So, if you can do that math take whatever deaths you hear about and realize these are only about 30% or less of the actual deaths from coronavirus in India on any given day.

2nd note: 30 days (one month) times 300,000 equals 9 million people testing positive in India. And this has already been 3 weeks of this so far so 30 days is likely or more.
