On 21st April (yesterday) few hospitals have displayed notice saying they are not getting oxygen supply which is stopped by the Government so kindly get your serious patient discharged from here we are not able to support with the oxygen further.

In Uttar Pradesh( state), India in spite of High Court’s order of complete lockdown was not followed by the ruling government.Govt says it will effect livelihood of the under privileged.Though, it is seems as due to Panchayati Raj elections it has not been imposed.Livelihood can be a factor but we need to save the lives first.

Right

Hi Dave

Good evening

Situations are different from the first wave than this. Earlier it was getting ration etc.Now beds availability, hospitals and medicines. People are selling an injection 1600 percent higher. So poors can’t save their loved ones.

Agree Preeti

No testing rates are also low

transmission of infection from non-vaccinated to vaccinated population gives a vast laboratory to the virus to learn to evade the immune response and develop into more virulent forms

it's the same situation in Kenya low testing rates, it cost 5000 Kenya shillings to get a test. so poor people even when they have symptoms they won't go for testing.However here vaccination is done for free but only provided to the elderly and people providing essential services

If two elderly persons are at hone both are positive and one partner is no more. There is no one who can do the last rite. As neighbors and friends are hesitating to support due to a positive patient.Our volunteering team is supporting here too.Things are not at all good here. Neither a respectful death too.

Covaccine and covishield are out and been administered

Remedisivir is not of much use but doctors are prescribing. Even a pulmonologist has clarified.Though, I know a family who arranged all 6 doses but the patient was not able to survive.

Proper written/ pictorial communication and IEC material like a brief fact sheet should be given to the person getting their first jab.Misinformation that people get affected after the vaccination is making others scared to get the shot

An information regarding proper double layered cotton masks should also needs to be communicated well to the masses as messages are spreading that cotton masks are just an eye wash.

well said Preeti Shah

Communication in their local language

Thanks, your suggestion is wonderful communication on hygiene are spreading from the government also on electronic media etc.But communication based on efficacy of the vaccination, right behaviour related to it, how to not pay attention on misinformation etc need to be amplified.

Talking about Self discipline is also very important

Yes 😊

Vaccination might be the difference between surviving the virus or succumbing to it

Dhruv, well said

Similar to using a seat belt In the aircraft ..

Absolutely
