10: Rukmini on What Data Tells Us About India's COVID-19 Fight

Since the onset of the novel Coronavirus, award-winning data journalist Rukmini (https://twitter.com/rukmini?lang=en) has investigated the virus’ spread in India like very few people have.  Twice a week since March, she’s been recording her thoughts on the pandemic in a short “mini-podcast” called The Moving Curve (https://rukminiwrites.medium.com/) .  In 100 bite-sized episodes, Rukmini has helped educate Indians--and their political leaders--about this unprecedented public health crisis straight from her home studio. This week, Rukmini joins Milan to talk about the state of COVID-19 in India, the country’s surprisingly low fatality rate, and what large-scale seroprevalence studies tell us about where the virus is heading. Plus, Rukmini evaluates the impact of India’s lockdown and how the media has reported on the pandemic.
