@WHO reckons there are more fatalities on India’s roads each year than there are people in Barbados. This is not just a function of India’s enormous population. China has more people, but its authorities count 58,000 fatalities a year https://t.co/HVI7kUwsbU https://t.co/RsUAliNLcQ — PolitiTweet.org
