“The only way to stop the spread of Corona now is a full lockdown... GOI’s inaction is killing many innocent people,” Congress MP Gandhi said on Twitter, referring to the Government of India. Modi has been criticized for not moving sooner to limit the latest wave of infections and for letting millions of largely unmasked people attend religious festivals and crowded political rallies during March and April.“What the recent weeks reveal is that both Centre and states have been woefully unprepared for the second wave,” an editorial in the Times of India said on Tuesday.

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.
