More than 300,000+ corona cases and 2,500+ deaths are being reported daily in India for the past four days. According to health officials, about 3.5 million positive cases were reported on Sunday, a record. Corona pandemic is spreading rapidly in a country of 1.3 billion people. The situation in the capital, Delhi, is dire.
The Chief Minister has announced a one-week extension of the lockdown in Delhi. The lockdown will now run until May 3rd. Since the outbreak of Corona, 16.9 million people in India have been infected with the virus. India is the second-largest country affected by Corona after the United States.
Long queues of corona patients outside hospitals are standard in big cities, while the number of deaths due to lack of oxygen is also increasing.
According to a Sky News correspondent, "There are corpses and sick people on the sidewalks in India, scenes of begging for oxygen."
"The search for oxygen is a terrible form of the Corona crisis," the report said.
"People are feeling helpless during the second wave of Corona. People are screaming, begging, crying, and there is death.
Dozens of vehicles were stranded on a narrow road outside a gurdwara east of the Indian capital, New Delhi.
Vehicles were full of sick or dying people who were desperate for oxygen.
Indeed, almost all of them should have been in the hospital for treatment from trained professionals.
Instead of going to the hospital, they were forced to take oxygen provided by a Sikh charity on the road. Most of the people were lying on car seats, and some were sitting in rickshaws.
Some of them were already unconscious, while others were having difficulty breathing. Tubes were hanging from the windows of cars fitted with large oxygen tanks that are now a lifeline for the people.
The Sky News report said the site was not owned by a hospital or an official oxygen provider but by a charity run by Sikh Khalsa Help International Charity.
"I don't know what the government is doing," said Gurpreet Singh, the charity's founder. If we can do it, why can't they?
There we saw a young man crying for a moment before his brother in the back of the car was helped.
"He's dead," said the driver in front of him, looking surprised. "He's gone."
This scene is shocking in itself, but it is not a scene that has been seen many times in this large and densely populated country.
There is no sign of tragedy and its cessation.
