India has recorded a record number of deaths per day due to the coronavirus. A total of 392,488 cases of COVID-19 were identified. Every day, about 3 thousand people die. Now the country ranks 2nd in the world in terms of the number of infections.
Molecular biologist Alexander Kudryavtsev commented on this situation in his telegram channel: “What is happening in India, many consider an anomaly, and think that this will not happen again anywhere. But now I will give you examples of neighboring countries, and you can see that this is not an anomaly. The whole of South-East Asia is plunging into the abyss of the hell that is happening now in India. The nature of the growth of new cases in Nepal and Thailand is faster and more acute than during the spread of the already familiar coronavirus of the previous version during the second wave. Other neighboring countries are no exception, such as Sri Lanka»
At the moment, vaccination with the drug “Sputnik V”is beginning in the country. Now the population is vaccinated with a vaccine delivered from Russia. Later, India itself plans to produce the “Satellite V”.
The first wave occurred six months ago, but did not affect young people. Now people under 40 are also getting sick, babies and pregnant women are dying.
Doctors and nurses have never seen such large-scale diseases in their practice. They have to work three or four shifts in a row. Doctors fear that the number of cases of Covid-19 infection in India could rise to 500,000 a day.
As local residents explain, one of the reasons for the new wave of the pandemic is the reluctance of the authorities to postpone the elections. Local resident: “We can’t defend ourselves because the administration and the government are running an incessant election campaign. But the elections are not the most important thing right now.”
