[SR Ballard]

OR they are poor as shit and not testing, while attributing deaths to other causes.

Have you seen Indian trains? Slums? Markets? People packed like sardines.

India reported its first case of the virus about the same time the US did and its first death occurred just 2 weeks after the first in the US, but as of May 7 at 12:05 GMT India has only had 1,787 deaths, but the USA has had 74,810 deaths. And yet India's population is 3.9 times as large as the US population.
