India's coronavirus death toll hits new record

India is setting almost-daily records for new infections and deaths as the virus crisis engulfs overstretched hospitals in cities and spreads into rural regions.

"We are here because we are bringing help that... will save lives," Germany's ambassador to India, Walter J. Lindner, said as 120 ventilators arrived late Saturday. The plea came a day after up to a dozen patients died at a Delhi hospital amid an oxygen shortage, local media reported. "It is a necessity now. We are seeing so many people testing positive," data scientist Megha Srivastava, 35, told AFP outside a Delhi vaccination centre.

Experts have called on the government to allow more flexibility in India's vaccine rollout, particularly in poorer rural areas where there is lower internet penetration.

Need to put out more vaccines

India’s birthrate last month exceeded all of the global deaths in a year related to Covid-19 ! Devastating yes when anyone passes but also difficult sustain a overpopulated Planet Earth !

Extremely difficult to see these images.

The media has used photos of funeral pyres from years ago, a photo of people passed out in the street from the LP chemical leak last year in India passing off these old pics as current examples of this alleged outbreak in India. All to sell westerners on the '100% safe' vaccine!

Send the Montreal protesters over to India to help.

This is monumentally sad!!! Peace to India! May all this be behind us once the vaccinations catch up with the virus.

patstagepage To the brave people we have on the street, may you please volunteer one way or the other to help our people in need, if you did not see them, go to a hospital. I'm unable to blame you cause I don't feel it fair to you when:

People here are complaining about curfew, appericate people that u r living in country, where government are at least trying to save lives, my heart breaks looking at people's plight in India,

Modi has failed his country. WHO is awfully quiet

Sending much love to the people of India. My heart breaks for them and I can only imagine the immense grief being felt by so many there.💙

Sad yes. But can we also take in account the state of India? It’s a developing country with slums everywhere. This does not represent what is happening here. Heartbreaking for India, hopefully it passes soon.

So sad

This picture is heartbreaking 😥

India sees record COVID-19 daily deaths as another state imposes lockdownIndia’s new coronavirus cases dipped marginally on Sunday with 392,488 reported infections, but deaths jumped by a record 3,689 Too bad vaccines are patented and being hoarded by countries like Canada resulting in mass death. Too bad this will lead to more varients and potentially one that is vaccine resistant. I’m keeping India 🇮🇳 in my prayers. What I know for sure, this storm shall pass and life will come back to know. But I would encourage people to keep following the advice from the health authorities and most importantly people need to get vaccinated as soon as possible.
