We now have decent estimates of excess mortality for first five months of 2021 for 4 large states (MP, AP, TN, KN) comprising around 300 million people and 21% of Indian population.
Excess mortality in these 4 large states exceeds 500K compared to 46K reported Covid deaths (1/n)

The chart shows the latest data.

It is one of the charts in my latest post on ‘What is economic growth?’ https://t.co/RTOvn2eRPh

My first "scientific publication"...I try to see whether unstable environmental conditions (rainfall shocks) faced by HHs with babies have an effect on the cognitive/noncog outcomes of those babies a few years later.

Pick any attribute between incompetence and abject stupidity to describe this, and you'd still be understating the case here.

Simply ending poverty is not enough. “Social distancing means you must have three weeks food in the fridge. Clean your hands means you must have water and soap.”

After nearly ten years of gathering as much high resolution data as we could find on India, we built a collaborative open platform so that when anyone invests in data, all researchers, policymakers, etc can benefit. All feedback welcome!

[Ideas for India @Ideas4India]

The goal with SHRUG @DevDataLab is to create a backbone for high resolution data that facilitates the sharing of information & opens this data wealth to researchers both in & outside of India @DataPortalIndia @GoIStats https://t.co/c1EpEzXvvm

Absolutely beautiful video created using still images taken by the Cassini spacecraft during its flyby of Jupiter and while at Saturn. Shown is Io and Europa over Jupiter's Great Red Spot and then Titan as it passes over Saturn and it's edge-on rings. NASA/JPL/Kevin M. Gill
