India is going through a very difficult period, because the caseload has overwhelmed our healthcare system. There are shortages of hospital beds, oxygen and some key medicines required to treat critical patients. It is important that as a medical fraternity we work closely with the government in reducing the caseload and managing patients at home effectively to reduce the pressure on hospitals. I have also seen medical practitioners globally questioning the anecdotal evidence of the start of the second wave with the vaccination drive in various countries. In my opinion, we should recognise this and maybe modify our process till quality research emerges on this topic.
