NEW DELHI There isn t any room at Sion Hospital in India s megacity, Mumbai - approximately all 500 beds reserved for COVID-19 patients are occupied. And with new patients coming in daily, a doctor said the hospital is being forced to add beds every second day. Waiting lists in some hospitals in the city are so unreasonable that numbers can t define the burden on hospitals, said Dr. Om Shrivastava, an infectious diseases expert. Scenes like this were common last year, when India looked set to become the worst affected country with daily cases nearly crossing 100,000. For several months, infections had receded, baffling experts, then since February, cases have climbed faster than before with a seven-day rolling average of 59,000. On Thursday, India reported more than 72,000 cases, its highest spike in six months.
