#tw emotional stress
So, India is dying.
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren’t amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I’d love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can’t do anything else, please just read and reblog.
Thenation’s healthcare system has completely collapsed. Hospital Beds are in shortage. The hospitals are unable to provide oxygen to their patients. Medicines are unavailable in hospitals as well as in markets. Vaccines are in short supply. Even infected Healthcare workers are unable to get treatment in the hospitals they are employed at due to shortage of basic Healthcare needs.
Even if beds are available, the hospitals are telling patients to arrange for their own medicines. People have been running around and trying to arrange life saving drugs for their loved ones but to no avail. Doses come to market in hundreds while their demand is in thousands. My own family has been running around trying to procure them for my grandmother who has been admitted to the hospital.
Hospitals have been making frantic S.O.S calls for oxygen but even then they aren’t recieveing it. Patients are left gasping for oxygen. Yesterday 25 critical Covid patients lost their lives at a major hospital in our nation’s Capital due to shortage of high flow oxygen. The same situation is in many other states and cities. People are being forced to get oxygen on roads. Many hospitals don’t have oxygen and are asking their patients to arrange it from alternate sources themselves.
Each day we wake up to a new record high in the number of daily cases and the number of deaths due to Covid-19. Yesterday it was 346,786 new cases and 2,624 deaths. Crematoriums have been burning 24/7 and helpless people are watching their loved ones die.
Does our government have a proper plan to deal with this situation? No they don’t.
What has our central government been doing?NOTHING. They have been busy trying to win state elections for their party by conducting maskless rallies of hundreds giving no mind to Covid protocols and social distancing. Rather than trying to boost our Healthcare infrastructure during the past year they have been busy trying to defeat other parties in state elections. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED TO WASTE AN ENTIRE CRUCIAL YEAR WHEN THEY COULD INCREASE OUR NATION’S HEALTHCARE CAPABILITIES. Had they actually done what they were supposed to in terms of healthcare, we would not be in this situation. You can count on them when it comes to conducting press conferences to put opposition parties and their leaders down. BUT YOU CAN’T COUNT ON THEM TO DO THEIR JOBS
We have triple-mutant variant of the virus in our country and our government doesn’t have a centralized plan to combat the situation. Our country’s government has failed us. Now they are trying to put pressure on state governments to deal with the situation.
This is the worst health-care crisis in the history of our nation and our government is doing nothing.
