ravishingravi Posted May 19, 2021 Posted May 19, 2021 An interesting trivia. During the Spanish flu, it was referred to as Bombay flu in India because Bombay was also epicentre in that case and the extent of damage it caused. Very similar to this pandemic. I don’t understand how and why it has to be Maharashtra. The deaths are insanely high from reported numbers itself. Is there biological reason or climate ? Cant figure out.

Any insights? Not much data is available as of now except that the trials featured 220 patients and 42% were off O2 Support after 2 sachets of the drug. I saw an NDTV clip (I know!) where doctors were sceptical about it's effectiveness. This thread provides a pretty good summary I think. G_B_, dial_100 and ravishingravi 1 2

There is no way to know if all were infected with coronavirus, though the government has accepted some are Covid victims. It is widely believed that as the vicious Covid second wave has ripped through the poor rural communities of Uttar Pradesh, leaving death in its wake, stigma around the virus and the high cost of firewood for cremation meant many families had instead resorted to a custom – a tradition in some of the villages – of immersing the shrouded bodies into the holy waters of the Ganges. Others have buried them on the sandy banks. I have seen 30 to 35 bodies brought to the river recently and immersed here,” he said. “More are doing immersion because people have found it hard to arrange cremation when so many people are dying.” Upadhyay pointed to the trunk of the banyan tree, where dozens of clay pots were tied. “Each of those pots represents someone who has died,” he said. “Look how many there are, just from the last 10 days.” Police have been stationed along the river to stop immersions and said they had cleared most of the bodies from the river, even putting nets across the Ganges on the border of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, but around Narva ghat in Gahmar many were still visible. As a body slowly emerged into view, carried by the slow current of the Ganges, cries rang out. Scattered across a bank of the river were three more, each metres apart, still shrouded in cloth and entangled in the detritus of the river.
coffee_rules Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 No wonder west media (fed by stories from undertaker Barkha) s upping the ante with bodies found in Ganga stories, not that they are fake. But the positivity going down should be the positive news. Take care of the living, sorry to say, we have to mourn the dead later. I am telling this with our focus in first cousin family is to save people and departed were mourned G_B_, beetle and ravishingravi 1 2

After a thorough probe, it was found that 58 ventilators supplied to the college were sub-standard and useless and the company, which supplied the ventilators, declined to open the remaining 37 ventilators. “The dean submitted a comprehensive status report on the ventilators to the district collector on April 12. The report clearly stated that the ventilators are useless and beyond repairs. In fact, the nominees of the firm which supplied ventilators, too visited the medical college but expressed inability to repair the ventilators. Three ventilators were repaired, but did not work on the second day. Since then, no technician has turned up at the college,” a college official told TOI. G_B_ and Laaloo 2

Any insights? I think its probably best anti viral drug available in public market. Production capacity is being ramped up. I doubt that other defense departments will not have similar drug as this drug meets a perfect war time drug. But unfortunately no one has shared such drug despite the nesessity.

G_B_ Posted May 20, 2021 Posted May 20, 2021 Maharashtra is total fudging...as i said before in order to hide the shame of mumbai they spread patients to other cities. Pure politics from the shiv sena. I have relatives in both mumbai and ozer. The people from ozer said they usually went to nashik for medical help. This time it was blocked by mumbai patients. The epi centre of maharashtra continues to remain amravati district which incidentally was centre of farmer protests. This is why nagpur bore a bigger brunt this time. Even brilliant kerala model. Was speaking to a friend from kerala who told me north kerala was heavily dependent on mangalore in karnataka facilities. Had karnataka shut the borders gods own country would be gods own graveyard. dial_100 1

Hmm. Yes, there is much to it than meets the eye. Across states. Kerala model is definitely suspect. They have lower mortality rate than the most developed countries in the world.
