India’s official count of 390,000 deaths from Covid may actually be a massive undercount, said several public health experts, according to a June 27 report in The Wall Street Journal. The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation modeling suggests the true Covid-19 death toll in India exceeds 1.1 million, close to three times the reported number. An accurate count of Covid-19 infections and deaths is “a very important part of understanding how big a threat new variants are,” said Christopher Murray, director of the Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. India has detected only about 3 to 5 percent of all infections due to insufficient testing, said Murray.
