Maybe India's numbers are not accurate.
Are the statistics on death accurate?
The number of coronavirus cases in India may be rising, but the mortality rate is dropping. According to the Health Ministry, deaths per 100 cases went from 4% in April to 2.15% in August, and is now under 2%.
But some experts warn that the data is full of gaps. India has a weak, underfunded public health infrastructure, and for years it has failed to accurately record the deaths of its own citizens.
Even when India isn't facing a pandemic, only 86% of deaths nationwide are even registered in government systems. And only 22% of all registered deaths get an official cause of death, certified by a doctor, said community medicine specialist Dr Hemant Shewade.
There are a few reasons behind this. The majority of people in India die at home or other places, not in a hospital, so doctors usually aren't present to assign a cause of death.

So you want the government to spend hundreds of millions on PPE, ICU beds, ventilators, just to sit around in some warehouse, probably become defective from age.
Some day we are going to have a mass extinction event, comet hits the earth, Tsunami in the Atlantic, the super volcano in the Yellowstone park erupts, you want the government to spend todays money, hundreds of billions of dollars to mitigate events that are guaranteed to happen sometime, it could be one day from now or one million years in the future but we have no way of knowing when, we knew a pandemic was come, we had no idea of when. You have no issues with your tax dollars spiking so much it takes just about every penny you make.
