SUNVILLA SAMACHAR Modi Govt Arguments Against W.h.o. ‘Excess’ Death Numbers Fall Flat
The declaration by the World Health Organisation (WHO) of 4.7 million as ‘excess’ Coviddeaths over and above the officially acknowledged figure in India and the response of theModi government to the report are both shocking, but not surprising. The WHO has resistedpersistent opposition from the Indian government to finally release the report.The WHO has only stated what the Indian public has known as a fact about the high coviddeath toll, but vehemently denied by the Modi government in its desperation to claimsuccess in dealing with the pandemic. The report also agrees with the disturbing visualsflashed on television screens across the world of crematoriums and funeral grounds burstingin their seams, funeral pyres burning non-stop, bodies floating in the river as well as victimsdropping dead in the middle of roads outside hospitals as they struggle to breath.The government has questioned the methodology and data collection used for arriving at thenumber by WHO. It has also challenged the robustness and validity of the models followedby the world body and sought to counter it by citing ‘extremely robust’ civil registrationsystem for recording births and deaths. But the government is refusing to acknowledge thatat the peak of the pandemic, all systems and inf rastructures were overwhelmed by theseverity and extent of the problem. One or multiple problems with methodology and modelscan perhaps make a difference in terms of thousands or even lakhs, but not to the extentthat the final figure would be 10 times more.For the statistically minded, the claim by the Modi government putting the total death toll dueto covid at below 5 lakh is totally untenable. Going by the government’s claim, the dailyaverage deaths for the two years of 2020 and 2021 work out to less than 700. There is noway such a small number could exert pressure on burial and funeral facilities nationally tocreate the highly disturbing scenes that were seen around hospitals, funeral grounds,crematoriums and river banks.At the peak of the pandemic, Delhi’s crematoriums and burial grounds alone reported about1,000 funerals over three days, making it more than 300 per day. Going by the average of700 deaths per day nationally, this would mean that nearly half of all covid deaths in Indiaoccurred in Delhi, with the rest of the country contributing the other half. Nothing can bemore absurd than such an assumption. So, if an expert body says the figure was 10 timesmore, that is no cause for uneasiness.The Modi government certainly has an agenda in keeping the death toll low, while WHO hasno such hang-ups as the world body is only interested in dealing with the pandemic as bestas humans can. It has nothing to gain by pointing out India accounted for almost a third of allcovid deaths globally. It is not just India that the WHO has faulted for underreporting coviddeath tolls, it has blamed most countries in this respect. In fact, WHO has pointed out that many countries, including those in Europe and the Americas, lack the capacity for reliable mortality surveillance and therefore do not collect and generate the data needed to calculateexcess mortality. WHO believes these sobering numbers are important as these only point to the impact of thepandemic but also to the need for all countries to invest in more resilient health systems thatcan sustain essential health services during crises, including stronger health informationsystems. The numbers provide decisionmakers information to guide policies to reducemortality and effectively prevent future crises.It is actually this process that the Modi government’s obsession with success is frustrating.For any problem to be solved, the first most important step is to recognize the problem. Thisis where the government is making a grave error. There is no need for the government tofeel any sense of guilt because covid was a natural occurrence. It is like a government tryingto suppress the death toll in an earthquake, which happens due to tectonic factors beyondhuman control. The onus of a government for such a natural calamity is quite far-fetchedbecause these occur due to shifts in the tectonic plains over long periods, which are beyondthe scope of any particular government. Nobody blames a government for an earthquake. Ifthe world has failed to fight covid early enough to prevent - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara such large-scale deaths.
