The situation is indeed horrifying. We already know the severity of the situation and read the news and watch those videos. Is there a point behind posting so many images and videos one after the other with zero comment? Just wondering. Unless we know which tweets were taken down, we cannot say that the govt is blocking information about how things are on the ground. Maybe these were posts designed to incite panic and spread misleading information.
General questions: 1. Why is there a shortage of oxygen? 2. When is a patient put on a ventilator and when on oxygen? 3. What could Modi have done differently in the past three weeks? 4. This is a dumb question I guess - why were they able to so successfully contain Covid in Dharavi last year and failing so spectacularly now?
Anything that is inconvenient for the ruling government is considered ant-Indian, we have seen it in China, Russia etc and now India.
Simple answer:the government declared premature victory and people also let down their guard. Holding Kumbh Mela and election rallies did not help. Oxygen is running low due to extreme number of cases. Ventilators are reserved as a last option. Patients are given oxygen to supplement their lung function and aid in recovery.
India should have strictly controlled super spreading events, when the leader is elated when he sees crowd what can we expect ? Bengal Assembly Election: "Elated To See A Large Crowd": PM Modi In Bengal Rally Kumbh Mela: Lakhs In Haridwar For Kumbh Holy Dip Today Amid Covid Crisis
Comments can be difficult, and might even be construed as gallows humor.... That NDTV video shows a covid-victim's body coming out of the bus when the bus makes a turn. Jumping out of the moving bus ?!! Years of alighting from bus before it makes a complete stop at the bus stand can become something of a "body memory" thing. If Holi, K-mela, election ralleys have all been super spreader events, was there Bhagavan Vishnu at work? After all there had been a promise that he'd return and set things back in balance once in a while.... enjoy a different video... Pre independence India experienced the largest loss of life during the 1918-21 Spanish Influenza pandemic. Because travel was more difficult in those days, the influenza that was brought aboard ships, landed in Bombay, and spread across the Arabian seaboard regions - the current day Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala -- the most. The current 2nd wave is following the most travelled populations as well.
