Patients are dying because of a lack of medical oxygen supplies, doctors warn.

Earlier this year, the Indian government believed it had beaten the virus. New cases fell to 11,000 by mid-February, vaccines were being exported, and in March the health minister said India was "in the endgame" of the pandemic.

"Within minutes, they will die. You can see these patients: they're on ventilators, they require high-flow oxygen. If the oxygen stops, most of them will die." "Oxygen, oxygen, can you get me oxygen?" I wake up this morning to an anguished phone call from a school teacher, whose husband was been battling for his life in a Delhi hospital.

There's a photograph of two men and a woman sharing a cylinder on the front page - three strangers, caught up in a tragedy brought upon by government negligence, sharing a lifeline. Despite government claims, things are going from bad to worse. There are no beds, few medicines. For many it's a slow road to death.

Meanwhile back home thousands fight for their freedoms and millions worldwide are waking up and seeing the BS

Why are the countries around THEM not offering help

And we all thought Italy had it bad at start of pandemic. This is a whole new level

Lets hope they get help soon

There’s a problem here. You’ll obviously avoid it because the truth doesn’t always concord with your current ethos, but it’s this. Indians in general don’t deal well with illness.

Deaths registered is the tiny known, Deaths not registered is the mighty unknown. Even in death they did not deserve to be counted let alone getting O2, medicines, beds & ICU treatment to live.

I think situation is even worse.India needs help
