Indian health system overwhelmed
Covid has its grip on India . News item on our radio saying that the Indian hospitals are out of oxygen . Victims were two per bed in some places .With the new variants it will soon become clear if the vaccines will protect victims against all variants , or one for that matter . 2 or 3 of our front line workers have caught covid after being vaccinated , not enough to get a clear picture to see if any worthwhile protection can be gained by vaccination . Thankfully , I'd rather not know than have alot of NZ's infected to prove a point .
china has offered help , best thing they could do is nuke themselves

* First Vaccine and other Medical facilities ..
There is chaos during vaccination process.. Though some parts in country , Govt. has Offered free vaccine , but the reality is there is no control over the price.. Also shortage of supply became a big issue..
The same applied for Oxygen and other drugs like Remedisivir and availability of hospital Beds.. (Remember , Not only Kovid creates serious illness , other diseases required hospitalisation too..)
* Second Uncontrolled Gathering of huge number of People during last 1 month..
Due to election process in several parts of the country , nobody cared to follow any restrictions at all..
As well as recent gathering over Kumbh ..
* Third Virus mutation..
It's been reported that even after completion of 2 doses of vaccine , people still got infected.. I am afraid , with time this numbers will increase .. But it's a relief that at least no death reported yet after vaccination ..
* Forth Lockdown is NOT a suitable or effective action anymore for most people of India considering the socioeconomycal impact of the last Lockdown..
Even if Lockdown get imposed , people will die both way..
And most people choose to take their chance with Corona rather than watching their family die from hunger slowly..
The unfortunate but cruel ground reality..
* Last but not the Least..
Politics over Death...
Everyone is just playing blame game to secure their own future instead of working together to secure lives..
I am afraid the world is going to witness the worst impact of pandemic in upcoming days...
And we , most of the citizens , have nothing to do except wait helplessly
Fatal side effects are hovering about 1 out of every 100,000 vaccinated. The greatest good for the greatest number. 1 of 100,000 is an acceptable loss rate, far better than 10,000 dead.
But then I remember..
We , Indians , have faced many more hurdles before...
We have been through Plague , Small Pox , Cholera , Malaria , Colonial Invasions , Wars , Communal Riots , Earthquakes , Floods , Tornedos and above all , The Famine (Twice) ....
But we never Surrendered ...
This time will be passed too.. May be in exchange with the huge price of many innocent lives unfortunately ..
But "Deep in my heart.. I do believe .. We shall overcome someday.."
We WILL Overcome...
Thank you all for your kind concern and suggestions...
