At present the whole world is focused on India. This is due to the rapid spread of the covid 19 virus.
The number of covid 19 cases reported in India yesterday (26) had crossed the 350,000 mark, while foreign media reported that 354,531 cases had been identified yesterday alone. The total number of people infected with the virus in the country is 173,636 and there are 195,116 deaths.
According to the latest reports, one Kovid death is being reported in the capital Delhi every four minutes. This is a very tragic situation.
Covid deaths, in particular, are on the rise due to lack of oxygen. India is the country with the highest level of air pollution. Currently, patients suffering from covid virus infection are severely affected by the lack of oxygen to breathe.
Meanwhile, the Indian government has decided to close Delhi in India for a week. Currently, there is a shortage of beds in India due to overcrowding in hospitals. There are several patients in one bed and other patients who see the hospital fall and die due to lack of oxygen.
Indians are now roaming the cities in search of oxygen cylinders. It is reported that traders who used to sell oxygen cylinders are now tempted to sell them at a very high price. There is a shortage of oxygen, especially in the black market. Although they have oxygen cylinders, they sell them at ten times the average price.
Meanwhile, hospitals in the capital Delhi and densely populated Maharashtra are refusing to admit patients without oxygen. Also, due to the overcrowding of hospitals, people from wealthy families are tempted to seek treatment from home with the help of domestic nurses. Meanwhile, the foreign media reports that the tests in the laboratories of the prison hospitals have become jammed.
This makes it difficult for doctors to even treat patients. As a result, Indians now have to wait for their loved ones and relatives to die before their very eyes.
The United States has said it will help India fight the spread of the covid 19 virus.
US President Joe Biden has said on his Twitter account that he will expedite the supply of medical equipment to India in the face of the current situation. He added in his Twitter message that he would extend his support to India in return for its assistance in the face of the spread of the covid virus.
Health experts, meanwhile, say covid peaks in India can be expected in another three weeks. It is expected that more deaths will be reported in the country in the future.
