So sad to see a country on it's knees.
I think perhaps most countries have dubious financial and ethical priorities.
India has developed much over the years and it may well be a rich country but it's inhabited by poor people.
When you consider that it's population represents almost 18% of the World's population the mind boggles.
The country is densely populated. That high density makes infection, and thus spread, much more probable.
should help Indai,.
This pandemic must be stop soon.
The people of India need to take him down...
When you consider that it's population represents almost 18% of the World's population the mind boggles.
Population of China, India & Pakistan ................ 2.981 Billion
Population of the Entire Western Hemisphere .. 1.023 Billion
It beggars belief the possibility that India will take over from China as the most densely populated country within the next decade.
But we have tobe at home at 21:00 hours.
next month I CAN GET MY VACCIN. ,about time .
This new Indian varian is moving very fast.
I ask myslef why dont thay lock down the place
"The 'Indian strain' of the coronavirus carries higher transmissibility similar to the UK variant, but there is little evidence so far of it being more lethal than the original virus, experts have said."
- a google search.
Must be hard to shut a country like India down. Brasil is worse off atm it seems with about 10 to 1 higher death rate per capita as of today. This could change tomorrow, but right now Brasil is worse off.
Covid is bad everywhere it goes not saying otherwise, but still India is at 118th place when it comes to death rate per 1mill and 117th for cases pr. mill. citizens.
Is the border to Belgium closed? Death rate there is twice as yours Fly.
And 20 times higher than India.
With all that said, yes It will take some serious effort to stop the spread in India, we all know that.
Let's wish the best for that. Should we here far away fear it will sneak in here? No. that is silly as we are already flooded with the english variant.
TODAY Belgium and India is at the same level of death rate.
Unless a country has a welfare system, it can't realistically lock down a large proportion of its population.
The successful variants are the ones which spread easily, but kill a lower percentage of its hosts.
The thing is, a variant that kills 90% of 10 people infected kills 9 people; a variant which spreads easily enough to infect 1,000 people, but only kills 2% leaves 20 dead.
The variants with higher transmissibility also cause more chaos with respect to healthcare and the economy. More people will die through a lack of resources, like food and medical care.
Higher transmissabilty and lower lethality is more alarming that lower transmissibility and higher lethality. It just seems less alarming because we think we will have a better chance of surviving the disease itself on an individual basis, without considering the wider implications.
For a densely populated country with a lot of poverty, a highly transmissable with lower lethality variant is an absolute disaster.
BUT, it's a country of much brain power. There is some hope even they can somehow get this sorted,
I guess time will tell.
Now where have I seen that before...?
Vaccine might be in time here but perhaps some UN must help. Starting with the cities.
By the way Sputink was just stopped in Brazil from what I could observe.
loolling ya my sweet trumpie-not-fan
The problem is the lack of oxygen which is vital for infected lungs ,and the Government have failed to respond to the crisis within a failing infrastructure.
I think norway has sent some respirators out of our country recently, dunnu to where.
One Vaccine 12 day's later 1 in 100,000
Two Vaccines 1 in 150,000
The problem is the lack of oxygen which is vital for infected lungs ,and the Government have failed to respond to the crisis within a failing infrastructure.sigh
Everyone with lungs needs oxygen !!!
Could this is here for some time?
Mayhap we need to change our mind set aout this pandemic ?
It's like a wave, New York, Mexico, South America, now India.
happening over there Its like a very bad dream.
thay need to lock down.
