Daily cases
The first three images are of daily cases. The top left shows daily cases across each state and the bottom left shows daily cases across each state as a percentage of total daily cases to get the contribution of each state for new COVID-19 cases. The big image on the right shows the distribution of daily cases across each state
Ridgeplots (sometimes called joyplots) can be quite useful for visualizing changes in distributions over time or space. We use ridgeplots to look into the distributions of new cases and deaths in each state. To create the ridgeplots, we use the non-parametric Lowess smoothing function with a bandwidth of 0.1 for the Epanechnikov kernel function. The distribution of each state is normalized between 0 and 1.
Excess deaths.
P score is a measure that is more comparable across countries/states, which calculates excess mortality as the percentage difference between the number of deaths in 2020–2021 and the average number of deaths in the same period — week or month — over the years 2015–2019. I have used monthly information.
P-score =(( Deaths in 2020/2021 – Mean deaths between 2015-2019)/ Mean deaths between 2015-2019)*100
So, if a state had a P-score of 100% in a given month in 2020, that would mean the death count for that month was 100% higher than — that is, double — the average death count in the same month over the previous five years.

Vaccination progress.
India, home to 1.3 billion, rolled out the world's largest vaccination drive on January 16th, 2021 aiming to vaccinate around 300 million priority groups against COVID-19 by August. The priority lists include 30 million doctors, nurses and other front-line workers to be followed by 270 million others, who are either aged over 50 or have co-morbidity factors that make them vulnerable to COVID-19. India on the 4th of January gave the nod for emergency use of two vaccines, one developed by Oxford University and drugmaker AstraZeneca, and another by Indian company Bharat Biotech.
From the 1st of April India launched its third phase of vaccination drive with everyone above the age of 45 now eligible for the jab. As of 2nd April, 68.7 million vaccine doses have been administered. These include 8.30 million healthcare workers (1st dose), 5.28 healthcare workers (2nd dose), 9.3 million frontline workers (1st dose) and 4 million frontline workers (2nd Dose), 9.7 million (1st Dose), and 39,401 (2nd dose) beneficiaries aged more than 45 years with specific co-morbidities and 31.7 million (1st Dose) and 0.21 million (2nd dose) beneficiaries aged more than 60 years
