India’s Covid toll 47 lakh, says WHO; govt slams report

世卫组织称，印度新冠病死亡人数达470万，印度政府批评该报告

NEW DELHI: India and the World Health Organization are at loggerheads over the latter’s new estimates of 47 lakh excess deaths in the country due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 — an assessment that has been strongly contested by the government which cited flawed methodology, inaccurate sourcing of data, inconsistencies in criteria and use of assumption by the UN health agency for projections.

新德里：世界卫生组织最新估计2020年和2021年印度新冠死亡人数多达470万，印度和世卫组织就此产生分歧，印度政府对这一评估提出了强烈质疑，称评估方法存在缺陷，数据来源不准确，标准不一致，以及世卫组织在预测时使用了假设。

WHO estimates are nearly 10 times higher than the country’s official count of 4.84 lakh Covid-19 fatalities in these two years. Globally, more than twice as many people have died as a result of Covid-19 as the official data shows, according to a new WHO report which pegged 14.9 million excess deaths (149,00,000)associated with Covid-19 by the end of 2021. The numbers reported by countries added up to 6 million (60 lakh).

世卫组织的估计数据比印度这两年公布的48.4万例死亡人数高出近10倍。根据世卫组织的一份新报告，在全球范围内，新冠死亡人数是官方数据显示的两倍多，该报告称，到2021年底，新冠相关死亡人数为1490万。各国报告的数字总计达600万(600万)。

In a firm criticism of the WHO report, the government raised concerns over use of mathematical models by the UN agency despite availability of authentic data. It has also raised concerns over sourcing of data, selection of states for extrapolation and lack of transparency by the UN agency.

印度政府对世界卫生组织的报告提出了严厉批评，对该联合国机构使用数学模型表示担忧，尽管有可靠的数据。这还引发了对数据来源、外推国家选择以及该联合国机构缺乏透明度的担忧。

The government said WHO has released the excess mortality estimates without adequately addressing India’s concerns and despite India’s objection to the process, methodology and outcome of this modelling exercise.

印度政府称，世卫组织发布了超额死亡率估计值，但没有充分解决印度的关切，尽管印度反对这一建模工作的过程、方法和结果。

“India had informed WHO that in view of the availability of authentic data published through Civil Registration System (CRS) by Registrar General of India (RGI), mathematical models should not be used for projecting excess mortality numbers for India,” the government said.

印度政府表示:“印度已经通知世卫组织，鉴于印度注册总署(RGI)通过民事登记系统(CRS)公布的真实数据的可用性，不应该使用数学模型来预测印度的超额死亡率。”

Simply count down the number of known people or relatives who succumbed to Covid, one will understand the enormity of the situation, the government claims five lakh deaths, the figure is jumla, only Bhakts can trust.

只要数一数自己认识的人或亲人死于新冠的，你就会明白情况的严重性，政府声称有50万人死亡，这个数字是假的，只有印度人相信。

India national total is simply sum of state data. maharashtra, bengal, kerala, Rajasthan, Delhi, jharkand, chattisgargh, tamil Nadu, Andhra, telangana, orissa etc are all run by opposition parties

印度全国总死亡人数只是各邦数据的总和。马哈拉施特拉邦、孟加拉邦、喀拉拉邦、拉贾斯坦邦、德里、恰尔坎德邦、恰蒂斯加尔邦、泰米尔纳德邦、安得拉邦、特伦甘纳邦、奥里萨邦等都是反对党领导的

This is nothing more than the "inherent & deep-rooted" hatered these westerners have for INDIANS...In 2020 these western countries were "expecting" millions of covid deaths in "poor" INDIA...but then REALITY was something entirely different...the "expectation" & reality didnt add-up...so now they will glorify themselves by using MATHEMATICAL MODELS to "estimate" millions of deaths in India

这没什么，只不过是西方人对印度人“固有和根深蒂固”的仇恨。

在2020年，这些西方国家“预计”在“贫穷”的印度会有数百万人死于新冠…

但现实是完全不同的……

“期望”和现实并不一致，

现在他们要用数学模型来“估计”印度的死亡人数达到几百万

WHO is the most intriguing & untrustworthy organ of the UN. It's sold itself to China . WHO has no credibility at all .

世卫组织是联合国最不值得信任的机构。它把自己卖给了中国。世卫组织完全没有可信度。

Every one who is denying w h figure know in his heart that actual figure is far more than the official figure.at least we should accept the reality.off course delta wave was so strong that no country in the world could manage it properly

每个否认数据的人心里都知道，实际数据远远大于官方数据。至少我们应该接受现实。当然，德尔塔那波疫情如此猛烈，世界上没有一个国家能很好的应对

Why WHO is publishing such Reports, its would be good for WHO to fucus on better activities rather than blaming partner countries.

为什么世卫组织要发布这样的报告？

世卫组织最好找点更有意义的事情来做，而不是指责成员国。

EVERYBODY KNOWS IT IN INDIA & THE WORLD EXCEPT FEKU GOVT!!

除了莫迪政府，印度人都知道，全世界的人都知道

Ajit Leo

Indians are not fools to believe the UN, the coterie of the US. Every Indian state has its method to check and confirm; from where does the UN get the data? If we import oil and jets from Russia, the UN peep into India and finds something to make our face ugly. Those eras have gone now, we are strong to respond to anybody; we don't need the UN's interference.

印度人不是傻瓜，不会相信美国的小圈子联合国。

印度每个邦都有自己的核查和确认方法

联合国从哪里得到数据?

如果我们从俄罗斯进口石油和飞机，联合国就会盯着印度，发现一些让我们难堪的东西。

那些时代已经过去了，我们有能力回应任何人

我们不需要联合国的干涉。

How do they know this figure? The role of WHO was nothing but protecting China. What was your role in in containing this pandemic? Nothing. May be you are spreading lies to get pat from your master.

他们是怎么知道这个数字的？

世卫组织的作用就是保护中国。你在控制这场大流行中发挥了什么作用

什么都没有。也许你是在传播谎言，是为了得到你的主人的赞赏。

This report is not surprising as its from WHO.. after watching them stumble and fail in handling Covid since the begng, by allowing it to spread in the world without timely warnings etc.. Now they have been irresponsible in the report by submitting it without properly explaining methodology and queries of India and other member states who are directly accused and affected with the improper contents in it. This is not how a global health body should work for the health of the world.

这份报告来自世卫组织，并不令人惊讶。他们从一开始就在应对新冠病毒方面失败，没有及时预警病毒会在世界范围内传播。现在，他们在公布报告时不负责任，没有适当解释报告的方法，对印度和其他受到直接指控和影响的成员国提出质疑。一个为世界健康而工作的全球卫生机构，不该这么行事。

India has a problem.that is difficulty in accepting the truth.,Truth is hidden in such a way that nothing can be proved. And then ask give the proof.,Most of the covid deaths were written off as heart failure,liver failure,Old age issues.etc. So where is the proof.

印度的问题是难以接受事实。真理以这样一种方式被隐瞒，以至于无法被证明。然后要求给出证据，大多数新冠死亡被认为是心力衰竭、肝功能衰竭、老年问题等。那么证据在哪里呢?

Isnt that true look at number of clAims accepted by states for compensation. Atleast for telangana they already accepted 10 time more claims that official death toll

看看各邦接受的索赔要求的数量，难道不是这样吗？

至少在特伦甘纳邦，他们已经接受了10倍于官方死亡人数的说法

It is a fact that Feku is modern day dr. All facts are suppressed. But reality will be exposed sooner or later. There is no doubt covid deaths were under reported by Feku Gov.

莫迪是现代独 裁者，这是事实。所有事实都被隐瞒了，但迟早会暴露。毫无疑问，莫迪政府报告的新冠死亡人数低于实际数字。

Trump was right to advise to stop funding for this useless body called WHO

特朗普建议停止为无用的世卫组织提供资金是对的

Instead of counting the dead please do your job of looking after global health .

与其计算死亡人数，不如做好维护全球民众健康的工作。
