SAM PANTHAKYGetty Images India is in the throes of a deadly, record-breaking wave of coronavirus infections. More than 200,000 people have died of COVID-19, making India the fourth country to cross that grim fatality count after the United States, Brazil, and Mexico. The government has also reported more than 360,000 cases in the last 24 hours, a new global record, which comes after a five-day streak of the highest single-day increases in new COVID-19 infections of any country. (Still, some experts fear that the reported numbers severely undercount the reality of both the country's active cases and death toll.) As more and more people contract the deadly virus, the surge is also overwhelming India's health care system, with hospitals scrambling for oxygen supplies and emergency aid. Worse, the outbreak so far is showing no signs of slowing down.
