If you're looking for a doomsday scenario, what's happening in India right now is probably the worst we've seen since the pandemic started. Essentially every hospital in every major city is full and there are patients dying outside.

Yup. Having insufficient bed space and medical supplies will kill people that might otherwise have survived a Covid-19 infection.

Anything and everything must be done in each country to prevent the hospitals from filling up.

Was also looking real bad in Brazil a few weeks ago.

Still is. I expect Brazil to exceed the US death toll in about 100 days.

They've got a fundamentally different society and lockdown is a luxury policy that only rich nations (and people) can afford.

You have to say more than this.

Didn't India also aggressively lock down in the beginning as well? Not sure what point the Op was trying to make here.
