“DOCTOR, ONE MINUTE, PLEASE …. Come and check my mother” begs a son with eyes filled with tears in front of a hospital. One of the front-line soldiers of the battle comes to his mother after a few hours to utter the word that the son didn’t want to hear. “She is no more.” The son and the family members of that lovely mother cry with nothing else to be done. The doctor is urging to repeat the same set of words to another family waiting for him, with a heart to serve with no enough facilities.
Another son, holding his father who is struggling to breathe says “Give him a hospital bed, give an oxygen cylinder, or kill him… JUST KILL HIM. Kill him with an injection. It is far better than seeing his struggle to breathe.” His father was struggling to hold his breath inside the ambulance. The son was searching for oxygen cylinders and hospital beds throughout the city. Fed up with all negative answers he says so. Completely filled hospital beds, shortage of oxygen cylinders and the deadly virus have pulled them away from saving their loving family members. Many of the families in the country have gone through the same situation already. This has become a new normal happening in our neighbouring country.
A country with the second-highest global population. More especially one of the most dominating countries in Covid – 19 vaccine production and a country with a daily production capacity of 7127 metric Tonnes of oxygen, INDIA. Now it is a country under crisis. The Country is on a battlefield against an invisible enemy, a virus, Covid – 19. This all began with the explosion of the second wave of Covid – 19 in the country a few weeks ago. The numbers are accelerating at alarming rates than any other country in the world. The Delhi high court says that the second wave of Covid – 19 in India is not just a wave, it is a tsunami. The reported cases are always in a six-digit number and the death toll is more than three thousand these days. Although the numbers are unbelievably high and alarming, the Indian Medias says that the actual numbers can be more than what reported, keeping the crematoriums working overtime these days in mind.
By the end of March, the numbers of reported cases in India began to increase. Compared to the first wave of infection, the spread of the virus was quick and it caused an acceleration in numbers reported. Gradually the number of deaths per day also started increasing. The virus was infecting the people regardless of their age proving its virulence. The states that suffered due to the infection during the first wave started to suffer again during the second wave proving that the virus is far smarter than the human being. Yes, the virus relevant to the second wave of India is a mutated one with more virulence.
The major reason for the outbreak of Covid in such a manner is the violation of the health guidelines by the public. The mass religious gatherings and political gatherings such as election campaigns with no care to follow Covid protocols were able to be seen in India in past months. The mutation of the virus has a big part in the spread of the virus. The virus is engulfing the bigger cities to smaller villages in the country with its deadly arms. The major cities of India like Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune are struggling to breathe. The hospitals are lacking oxygen beds and some major hospitals of the states are lacking important drugs such asRamdesivir and Tocilizumab. Social media is pouring out with posts of lovely relatives pleading for help with a hospital bed or oxygen cylinder. Most of the people in the nation are selling their belongings and spend the last paisa in their pocket to save their loved ones. But they are not successful all the time. With only a few hours of oxygen supply to the patients, the doctors of the Delhi hospitals are on call to have an immediate oxygen supply anyway.
The front-line soldiers of the battle, the health sector of India is serving their nation with their maximum strength. Covered with PPE their sweated body and the death toll is pressuring them too. The situation is out of their control. The conflicts among them evidence this situation. Some of these warriors to get infected. But some of them fall into the hand of heroic death because they did not receive a bed even in the hospital they served. The interviews of doctors and nurses with eyes filled with tears will shock your heart with its maximum effect. Now they are seeking the help of the army to get control of the situation.
Outside the hospitals, hundreds of people are waiting to grab the hospital bed as soon as a person dies. There is no grief about obtaining a hospital bed over a death of a person as all they need is to save their loved ones. People are in search of oxygen cylinders and many are waiting in long queues to get their cylinders filled. Ambulances are running out of oxygen. Tuk-tuk vehicles, compartments of trains and even cars and vans are turned into an ambulance to cope with the need. Meanwhile, the mortuaries of the hospitals are being piled up with dead bodies and are ready for mass cremations.
The crematoriums of Delhi city are lit day and night and the burial lands are full. With not enough space the waste grounds are now being turned into temporary crematoriums. The death rituals are performed with one or two relatives which were once a ritual that happens with the participation of all the relatives of the dead person. Due to the continuous burning of dead bodies, the electrical cremation ovens are out of order. The shortage of firewood for cremation purposes rushes the people to collect unburned firewood from the nearby cremation site. The workers of the cremation sites with their PPE on are suffering a lot to handle the heat.
Now the heat of the continuous cremation has turned the heads of the world’s powerful nations towards India. Russia provided about 20 oxygen production plants while the USA supplied raw materials for vaccine production, oxygen generating equipment and many more. Apart from that over 40 countries are on their way to stretch their helping hands to India.
India is a leading manufacturer of the Covid – 19 vaccines, AstraZeneca. During the first wave of Covid, the vaccination was focused more on the elderly people who were vulnerable at that time. But now the vaccination is targeted almost to every age group above 18 due to the nature of the mutant variant. But these days the number of people getting vaccinated has been reduced. This is due to the fear built among the people even to step out of the house. The disruption in the proper supply of the vaccine is also a reason.
Now India has turned into a bad example to the world regarding the control of Covid – 19. Nowadays the curve is getting steeper. The situation with change as the curve gets flattened. Till then all they need is the love and support from the people around them. As human beings occupying the surface of the same earth let us pray for the speedy recovery of India. However, the tragedy will remain as a history in the dark pages of India in the future, giving a lot of family’s bad memories and priceless lessons. Let us believe that India will bounce back from this catastrophe as one of the strongest nations in south Asia.
