This corroborates what I said about government Covid containment tactics: spend as little as possible in rural areas, exploit those who are already exploited. But collect vast sums of money from abroad in the name of India's millions at risk from the virus.

ASHAs' main income normally comes from assisting institutional deliveries for pregnant mothers in villages.
