Someone close to our family in India.  Only 40 y.o.  Today breathed her last due to Covid.  Extremely sad.  They have an older person at home, so were very careful.  But people around them were living life as usual - events, markets, malls.  Many turned up positive in their locality but recovered.  There is no point now in trying to ask "whom did she get it from?"  All you can do is be careful for your sake, but also for others' sakes.  If everyone in the locality was extra careful, her chances of contracting it would've been much lower.  Being careful - practicing distancing norms and masking - while not a guarantee - have a strong multiplicative effect that can decrease the probability of disease.    

 

Sorry to hear about your loss..

Thank you.

 

Was she vaccinated?

No.  Not even her first shot.

 

I am scheduled to travel to India shortly and I must say I am not feeling too confident ..

All the best.  Be careful and double mask-up everywhere you go.

Sad to hear. We don’t know how mortality is connected to this disease , older people surviving and young people dying. 

True.  Many questions to be answered. 

 

Yesterday, there was a WhatsApp fwd showing a video of a med tech inserting the vaccine needle, but not push the plunger.   I hope it is fake.  If people are doing stuff like that, what is their motive?

HISPA in US prohibits any TV camera into the ICU, but this parjivi reports from ICU with details to sell her story. There is a special place in hell for her ilk.

Saw another similar video from various parts of world. No one makes video to show that they arr not vaccinating

Thé curve for this wave has by far been the strangest one. Peaking by almost 30 times in 2 months and coming off at the same rate. I have to say that lack of lockdown might have helped here. Instead of delaying the peak, we just did the ride in two months. It’s bizarre to say the least.

Was a spike more than a curve

Vaccine jabs per day have risen substantially in last week of may

 

Mid may we were struggling at 1.5 million a day. Now touching 3 million a day.

 

Hope the pace increases

It should be 3 million plus this month easily. Next month won’t be surprised if it doubles.

Repeatedly she has flouted rules in the name of journalistic jingoism.. Some people are too shameless 

 

how did the hospital management allowed her to get inside an ICU when a day before, she was in a burial place inspecting dead bodies ? Doesnt it spread an infection inside ICU if she contracts something...

She could have caused a couple of deaths with her infections. Evil Lady!

Journalists colleagues are calling her out, but that evil lady is adamant. If Modi admin brings her down, there will be outrage in western media about how fascist Indian government is

I don't blame Dutt for indulging in vulture journalism which she always does to sell her stories. She didn't even spare her father's funeral , she thought it is a nice opportunity for a good story that sells. Her ethics is different from others. But what is sad is these hospitals allow the lady to the ICU just because of her reputation when they dont allow even the closest relatives. One has to hold the hospital management responsible and not the journalist for this lapse.

That hospital is owned by one Dr. Taha Mateen - Mohammed.

 

A case of impropriety and bdutt failed to disclose it in her reports.

Western Journalism for you

Meet Dr. S.T. Hassan. Hassan is the Member of Parliament from Moradabad. Hassan belongs to the Samajwadi Party. Hassan says the Modi government tinkered with the Sharia, and that the pandemic and the storms are the results of this intervention Hassan is also a medical doctor.

 

Compare this to what Baba Ramdev said

This is freakkin appalling.  But it is not on Barkha.  It is on the hospital - they must simply disallow this.  They don't even let relatives see ICU patients, now a whole damn TV crew is in there?  Callous as hell.
