We have a lot higher % of older people, and the older people who live in India that could have been killed by a single illness are probably already gone with all the trash, sewage, and biological contaminants affecting their water supply.
But still, as you aid, the numbers are almost certainly wrong. US numbers are inflated by false positives, counting "looks like the symptoms of COVID" as coronovirus deaths, and counting any death where coronovirus was present as a coronovirus death. Meanwhile I can't imagine a relatively impoverished country like India is doing much testing compared to countries like the US, so if an elderly person gets sick and dies, I wouldn't be surprised if it's often not counted - since you know, that's what tends to happen to elderly people.
India has median age at 26 years, with average life expectancy itself lower than the coronavirus high risk range ... think of it this way, in India, an average person does not live to be 75 years old, when the chingchong virus actually becomes deadly, hence there is not that many people left to get seriously ill with it. Afghanistan for example, probably has average life expectancy at 50 years. How many people do you think will there be to catch the virus and get seriously ill, knowing that for 50 years age, chingchong virus has 99.9999% survival?
Don't go by hard numbers. Math numbers are very specific at what they are saying. People frequently make mistake in interpreting it.
Two things can't be true at the same time. Is deaths are 200k and India's are 100k.
If deaths in the US are 200k then India's have to be in the million range.
If deaths in India are 100k, then the US death number has to be 10-15 k at most.
Strangely, while both can't be true, both COULD be false. The US could be around 10-15 k, AND India could be in the millions.
