India is suffering the world’s worst Covid-19 crisis. The daily infection rate is more than 300,000; the daily death toll, in excess of 2,000, is very likely an undercount. The health system has broken down, with scarcities in everything from hospital beds to oxygen. The Indian government has restricted vaccine exports and is instead trying to secure supplies from abroad.

Synopsis
"To bring things under control, you want to vaccinate more people on a daily basis than the number of new infections. Remember that a person who gets the first shot today will get the second shot in four to six weeks, and will need two more weeks to develop full immunity. So somebody who starts vaccination today will take two months to develop protective immunity."

Dr. Shahid Jameel explains how the fresh contagion challenge can be won over.
An explosion of new Covid-19 cases has been overwhelming India for the past three weeks. The fresh surge of the lethal contagion has infected millions of people in the world’s second-most populous country with an estimated population of over 1.3 billion (b) and has exposed like never before the nation’s broken health care system.
India is a bereaved nation.
Official data showed that by the end of April, more than 17.9 million (m) people were infected by SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19, and over 200,000 people were dead, but experts maintained that the actual figures were likely to be alarmingly higher.

Why some symptomatic Covid-19 patients are getting negative RT-PCR test results

Doctors and scientists explain what is happening on the ground.

Earlier in April, Arjun Sharma (name changed on request) visited three hospitals in Delhi with his father, trying to get an oxygen bed for him. His father had tested negative for Covid-19 on an
RT-PCR test, but was showing symptoms of the disease – his oxygen levels had dropped and a CT scan showed infection and pneumonia in his lungs.
“Doctors who we consulted said that my father most likely has Covid-19 and should get admitted to a hospital to get oxygen support,” said Sharma, a central government employee living in east Delhi. “But the test was negative despite his serious symptoms, and maybe this was a false-negative test result.”
