Heyy I saw some posts about the India health crisis bit I'm confused as to what actually happened could you please explain?
So officially India has the world's second worst covid-19 outbreak. unofficially,it's almost certainly the worst.
Total cases we have had : 15 million
Active cases : 1.6 million
And the hospitals are running out of bed. They have had to accommodate three people in one bed. wanna see a glimpse?
The dead people have it worst. They are waiting to be cremated because India is running out of cemeteries as well. Even garbage vans are being used to carry the dead bodies to the cremation ground.
while all this is happening, close to 3 million devotees are taking part in religious festival of kumbh mela and the BJP govt has done nothing to stop it. this is the same govt whose mouthpiece channels called it corona jihad when 3-4 thousand muslims had gathered last year before lockdown was announced and when govt had denied that covid is a health emergency. How ironic is it that Modi tweeted today calling Kumbh symbolic because it shows the devotion and that it will strengthen the fight against the virus???
They had one whole fucking year to prepare for this. yet they didn't. they knew the severity of the issue. they knew how people suffered. today we're short of vaccines, ventilators, hospitals,beds and cemeteries ffs. Modi on one hand, blames people for being careless but in the evening he goes and attends rallies with lakhs in attendance while beaming with joy saying," oh wherever I look,I see people"
they are refusing to stop kumbh mela. thousands have already tested positive from whatever number of people they tested. Kumbh visitors are gonna go back and risk infecting more. shit is gonna get worse. but unfortunately,this time they can't scapegoat muslims and blame it on them. and also not only kumbh, people all over India don't care at all. so little common sense or any sense of self preservation.
