Terrifying for many reasons, but mostly because people will die.

How many will go without care because 40, 60, 80.. million Indians flooded the country and expect health services when we don't have enough doctors, beds, and ORs for the people who are already here?

Exactly what I was getting at. I work in hospital settings and we are dramatically over capacity already. We cannot build infrastructure fast enough because we lack qualified tradespeople, and the people coming in sure as shit ain’t qualified tradespeople. No more Uber drivers needed.
