‘The system has collapsed’: India’s descent into Covid hell

[covertbriar]

The haunting blare of ambulance sirens continued to ring out across the capital almost non-stop. Inside Lok Nayak government hospital in Delhi, the largest Covid facility in the capital, overburdened facilities and a shortage of oxygen cylinders meant there was two to a bed, while outside patients waiting for beds gasped for air on stretchers and in ambulances, while sobbing relatives stood by their sides. Some sat with oxygen cylinders they had bought themselves out of desperation. Others died waiting in the hospital car park.

.............

States such a Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh stand accused of covering up the true death toll from coronavirus, with the numbers of bodies stacking up in hospital morgues far outnumbering official fatality figures. Among the worst-hit cities in Uttar Pradesh was Lucknow, where 22-year-old Deepti Mistri – a mother of one who had no pre-existing health conditions – was among the city’s dead, after falling ill with Covid on 14 April.

Her uncle Saroj Kumar Pandey, an ambulance driver who raised her from childhood, said he had desperately tried to find her a hospital bed when, two days later, her oxygen level began to drop dangerously to below 50% but could not find anywhere that had room.

........ The dead, meanwhile, have continued to overload crematoriums and graveyards in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Delhi faster than they could be burned, and families waited days to cremate their loved ones. On Sunday, Delhi’s largest cremation facility, Nigambodh Ghat, ran out of space, despite doubling its funeral pyres to more than 60.

No wonder so many Indians want to come or return to Singapore to stay away from their motherland. Just like my Mumbai neighbours from upstairs. They must be very lucky to get approval to be back here.

It's probably higher chance of survival here in Singapore than in India if they get infected with Covid 19.

GOOD! FUCK YOUR INDIA MOTHER CHEEBYE!

Relax India is doing fine in comparison. Europe and South America have death rates which are way higher.

Do you not agree that India's death rate is lower compared to both Europe and South America?

If you have more accurate figures please provide them for the sake of all.

India is a demoncratic nation aligned with the USA. They are 100% transparent unlike bloody chinks who lie all the time. The reality is, the situation is much worse in China.

You cunt. Everyone knows that India is under reporting covid death. NZ is so lucky to have an AMDL in charge instead of a Burmese quitter.

Sloppy border controls.The covid-19 pandemic are coming in huge waves daily from India into this small island.Where are the our so-called leaders ? Are they deaf ?

 

[Leongsam]

You cunt. Everyone knows that India is under reporting covid death. NZ is so lucky to have an AMDL in charge instead of a Burmese quitter.

Even if India was undercounting by 80% it still would not put them at the top of the table.

Hungary is currently running at a death/million of 23.66 while India is officially at 1.08.

Multiply the death toll by a factor of 10 and that still only brings the death toll to 10.8/million while Hungary is double that figure.

By any measure India is doing fine. The media is just hyping up the situation in order to gain viewership.

Remember a couple of weeks ago when Brazil was headlining all over the world with the "experts" proclaiming that the country was at risk of being exterminated by corona.

Well just as I predicted the numbers are now falling and within a month or so everything will be fine.

The same thing will happen in India and the press will then have to create their drama in some other country of their choosing.

Brazil COVID cases still soaring among unprotected majority

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s slowly unfolding vaccination program appears to have slowed the pace of deaths among the nation’s elderly, according to death certificate data, but COVID-19 is still taking a rising toll as unprotected younger people get sick.
People 80 and over accounted for a quarter of the nation’s COVID-19 deaths in February, but less than a fifth in March, according to data provided to The Associated Press on Tuesday by Arpen-Brasil, an association which represents thousands of the notaries who record death certificates in Brazil.
But relatively few beyond the elderly have been protected: Less than 9 million of Brazil’s 210 million residents have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to Our World in Data, an online research site.
Confirmed new infections from the virus among all age groups jumped about 70 percent between December and March: Reported cases rose from 1.3 million in December to 1.5 million in January, to 1.36 million in February and to 2.25 million in March.

But among people aged 20 to 59 the death toll tripled from February to March, hitting 23,366, according to the notaries.
Gustavo Renato Fiscarelly, the president of Arpen-Brasil, said the figures show the importance of vaccines as well as the danger of people letting down their guard. “There needs to be precaution by younger people, who have been proportionally more affected by the number of deaths.”
Heath experts blame that lack of caution for a similar pattern across the continent.
“We are not acting like a region in the midst of a worsening outbreak,” Dr. Carissa F. Etienne, head of the Pan-American Health Organization, said last week, complaining that the regional weekly death toll was higher than at any point in 2020.
“Despite ongoing transmission in many places, restrictions have been relaxed. Crowds are back, and people are gathering indoors and taking public transportation, often without masks,” she said.
Experts complain that even Brazilians who want to isolate are often forced to go to work because government welfare payments meant to let people stay home were sharply reduced in the first months of this year.
Brazil’s vaccine program has suffered repeated delays, but President Jair Bolsonaro has disregarded calls from health experts and some governors to impose a nationwide lockdown to slow the virus’ spread.
In the absence of countrywide restrictions, unvaccinated people remain vulnerable to the so-called Brazilian variant that has rapidly spread across the country — and Latin America as a whole.
“The new P.1 variant is much more transmissible, and very probably it is also much more aggressive. And it is contaminating a lot of young people,” said Margareth Dalcolmo, a pneumologist and researcher at the state-run Fiocruz Institute.
Local leaders have found it hard to enforce restrictions while Bolsonaro is urging people to ignore them.

Sao Paulo state’s government imposed limited hours for bars and restaurants, but they were widely violated. In the seven weeks through April 19, more than 500 establishments were fined for violating the rules and police have detained thousands of fun-seekers.
Eduardo Brotero, who helps head a police task force targeting clandestine parties, described one April 11 raid to The Associated Press:
“There were almost 100 people drinking and smoking hookahs. There was even a barbecue inside, with no security measures, even in this period in which every day we face these enormous death figures.”
Brazil has seen almost 375,000 deaths from the virus, a toll second only to that of the United States. Nearly half that total has come so far in 2021 . The seven-day average death toll surged to above 3,000, though the figure has retreated slightly over the last few days.
Everton Godoy, 34, is among these younger COVID-19 patients. He was laid up in a field hospital’s infirmary April 13 in the small city of Ribeirao Pires on Sao Paulo’s outskirts and said he believes he was infected while working at a produce shop.
“This disease has no age, and it’s a very sad disease,” Godoy said with labored breaths. “From one day to the next, unfortunately, it takes people away.”

I think it is just a beginning in India, worst is yet to come in the coming days and months. Faked Indians talents have been going to other countries displacing other's rice bowl, causing many families suffering without a job after being replaced by these faked Indians talents.
I am worrying this is kind of karma, many many Indians are going to suffer this retribution for causing others suffering. Unless they stop going other countries displacing other's job.
