I was vacationing in India for 2 weeks back in March, right at the beginning of all of this. Some observations:
The actual public healthcare system is pretty bad. A large portion of people rely on ayurvedic health.
Harddrive is 100% on what he says.
I was traveling with local historians/professors and the topic of all this was quite a bit of the discussion. The rural aspect/inherent social distancing helps. I celebrated Holi in a rural village in Rajasthan, and I wasn't worried at all.
As for the numbers with, a larger portion of deaths in general, than were used to , go unreported to the system. ...so the numbers might not tell the whole story. A population of over a billion, with the general sanitary conditions makes me question their numbers.
That being said, they were very proactive about washing hands, sanitizing. Not just with my group, but while alone, before I went into any store or restaurant, they had an attendant at the door who sanitized your hands before walking in, and while walking out. I went to see a movie in Jaipur, and they literally took the temperature of everybody before you could get in.
