They also have a rural country side with almost a billion people and have no idea what's going on there.
A coworker's inlaws and his wife's extended family contracted it in their small village in India. They were quarantined. Food was brought and left outside their home. The (elderly) father became quite ill and was taken to hospital, where he sadly died.
india DOES have a rural healthcare access problem. But their bureaucracy is reasonably effective.
At the outset they went into a hard lock-down - no trains, planes, buses or other public transport. This forced hundreds of thousands into trying to walk sometimes hundreds of miles from cities to their home villages. Many of them never survived the walk with those who did spreading the virus far and wide.
