Six hospitals in the Indian capital Delhi have completely run out of oxygen and doctors say other hospitals have just a few hours' worth of supply left.

A number of people have died while waiting for oxygen, and more than 99% of all intensive care beds are full.

India is in the grips of a second wave of Covid infections and on Thursday recorded the highest one-day tally of new cases anywhere in the world.

The country has recorded close to 16 million confirmed infections.

There have been 314,835 new coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours, while deaths rose by 2,104.





Holy chit brah's that video is horrifying, imagine having to beg for a doctor to take a look at your mum, only for them to say it's too late, what the hell man India is in a bad place right now

[dabbmw2002]

if you've ever been to India it's shocking that it took so long for Covid to hit hard.

[Kawhilights]

This news really took my breath away.

[WoofieNugget]

Jesus. That's heartbreaking. Anyone who denies COVID is a real thing needs to watch that and shake their head.

But throw a billion people with massive poverty living close together in the middle of a virus and they are going to see more deaths than the US by far.

[doughnutking]

China have already said they will send whatever support is needed, although it may be too late or they are trolling.

[lolatpaniccels]

isn't their overpopulation problem a bigger issue?

[Steveyblack]

lettuce beef real tea here, its not a matter of if you get it but when.

[ChecksNBalance]

This looks like a new strain? Life isn’t going back to normal anytime soon it feels like

LOL they're not even close to the USA death numbers.

Did you know India still doesn't have a properly functioning power grid?

Looks like.

Hadn't checked in on the overall COVID-sphere for over a month.

New mutations identified in India and says that they have a strain there that is causing rapid onset pneumonia, which fits with running out of oxygen.

The new coronavirus strains found in Maharashtra's Amravati and Akola districts can trigger early pneumonia in Covid-19 patients, said an expert. The new strain is more transmissible, said an adviser to the state who was on tour to districts where Covid cases had increased rapidly.

"It appears pneumonia is setting in early, thereby increasing the possibility of more deaths if cases rise rapidly," TOI reported Dr Subhash Salunkhe as saying.

Recently, researchers in Maharashtra had reportedly found two new mutations in coronavirus samples from Amravati and Yavatmal districts which can escape neutralising antibodies. Both the districts showed considerable increase in new cases in the last one week, said a PTI report.

At one centre in Amravati, 350 out of 700 people had tested positive for the new mutation. The spread could be from Nagpur till Aurangabad, said Dr Salunkhe, adding that there was only a 15-day window available to contain the outbreak before it spread to other parts of the country.

Read that crematoriums are running round the clock and there was a video of people burning their dead in the street.

Also India has only 1% of their population vaccinated.

nothing of value lost

[basedcap]

[doughnutking]

there was a video of people burning their dead in the street.

[TheBannedBrah]

Typical misc p.o.s

[dabbmw2002]

you should be red in no time

[3DAlphaMale]

Wow strong propaganda. So your telling me it took 14 months for the pandemic to effect india, where they scat in the streets, put dead in the river they bathe, and have a billion population living in slums. Yeah ok buddy

Florida never closed and had people from all over going there en masse to get freedom from tyrannical lockdowns. Now ur gona tell me india is in peril. Guarantee u they aint got sht shut down out there

[nick5569]

This is the elephant in the room that no one wants to bring up

covid deaths will actually improve the quality of life for the entire planet

It's sad for sure. no one wants to see loved ones die but it's probably better than having young healthy people die of starvation (caused by over population)

[Alexmcom]

you should be red in no time

Yes because my reputation points mean something lol.

the more of those cockroaches die the better. Free up some space for real oxygen.

Haven’t been but I hear the beaches are the chit.

I actually agree with this. India and China could both probably lose a couple of hundred million people and it would actually make both countries better.

[markkillerings]

Even the Indian guy on the phone trying to scam me was coughing.

[WoofieNugget]

haven’t been but i hear people chit on the beaches.

ftfy

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

for every 1 covid death in 2020, the NET GAIN to global population was +46....

just lmao if you think this mild flu is "thinning the herd"

[sg1976]

isn't their overpopulation problem a bigger issue?

When you are drinking and bathing in water that literally contains chit from the entire cities population do you not think this was inevitable.

[Abzu]

isn't their overpopulation problem a bigger issue?

Lol.

The problem isn't too many people.

The problem is a lack of the ability to attain the resources required to make the current population whole.



Over population is a political myth.

Math is not his strong suit.

[Seamanbeast]

In for miscers to simultaneously say it's just a flu that only kills .0002 % and also cheer on the death of as many brown skinned people as possible to make the world a better place.

[sooby]
