  NEW DELHI The world s fastest pace of spreading infections and the highest daily increase in coronavirus cases are pushing India further into a deepening and deadly health care crisis. While India is massive it s the world s second-most populous country with nearly 1.4 billion people its size also presents extraordinary challenges to fighting COVID-19. Some 2.7 million vaccine doses are given daily, but that s still less than 10% of its people who ve gotten their first shot. Overall, India has confirmed 15.9 million cases of infection, the second highest after the United States, and 184,657 deaths. The latest surge has driven India s fragile health systems to the breaking point: Understaffed hospitals are overflowing with patients. Medical oxygen is in short supply. Intensive care units are full. Nearly all ventilators are in use, and the dead are piling up at crematoriums and graveyards.
