“The idea that a private health system focused on profit could adequately attend to almost 18% of the world is ludicrous.”

How did you say "propaganda" in English?
Bali (Indonesia), Cambodia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos: gay guides and companions http://siamroads.com
Yeah right, the BBC is well known for it's propaganda!
Try this short Channel Four News piece. https://www.channel4.com/news/indian...vid-cases-rise
Really, this is all propaganda?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-56870410India has recorded nearly a million infections in three days, with 346,786 new cases overnight into Saturday.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said the situation in India was a "devastating reminder" of what the coronavirus could do.
The same BBC which had an hour long programme last month looking at why certain countries were so successful in containing covid. India was one of those countries featured as a success.
What has that got to do with propaganda?!
In any case I assume it's the Panorama programme from a month ago, that looked at differing worldwide strategies that had had more success in containing covid, at that time, than the UK. Along with the usual relative success stories a short piece covered specifically the state of Kerala, making the point that this state, unlike the rest of India, had a relatively successful policy compared to the UK, with at that time only 4,500 deaths from 35 million people.
Interestingly the relative success was attributed to the thorough social care policy by the communist administration in the state that facilitated and fully supported those isolating, with visiting health care workers and free food deliveries etc.
Sadly even this has been insufficient to protect from a surge in the last month, although not yet as badly hit as most of India.
When it suits his ideology goji avoids the notion of time changing situations. In his posts on tourism in Thailand he’s keen to stress a fluid situation. Here in his obsessive BBC-bashing he fails to mention that at the point in time when the programme was made it reflected the situation then. Two months later the situation has changed for the worse.
Maybe I'm wrong here, but I think goji was just pointing out that Moses blasting the BBC recent reporting on India as propaganda is a pretty weak argument.
More propaganda for you Moses.
