Central government has called the reports published by NYT baseless and false over Covid-19 death toll in India. The government said the report, titled ‘Just How Big Could India’s True Covid Toll Be?’, is not backed by any evidence and is based on distorted estimates.
For the uninitiated, the NYT report cited India’s official death toll of 3,07,231 as on May 24 and it estimated 600,000 deaths in a conservative scenario, 1.6 million estimated deaths in a more likely scenario and 4.2 million estimated deaths in a worse-case scenario.
