BENGALURU: It’s been two years of “trial by fire” for the BS Yediyurappa-led Karnataka government, even in managing the pandemic, say health experts. Appreciating Yediyurappa for taking some tough decisions, and critical about a few others, besides U-turns on policy announcements, the medical fraternity and public health experts listed out some issues the new Chief Minister will have to immediately focus on, with the third Covid wave expected to wash in.

Times Face-off: Should India adopt compulsory vaccinations for the greater good? | India News

For: Dr. H Sudarshan Ballal
Mandatory vaccinations can be a game-changer in war against Covid
The coronavirus pandemic is like no other pandemic that we have witnessed in the last hundred years. The second wave in particular was catastrophic, snatching lives and livelihoods.
During the first wave, the effort was to control the pandemic by encouraging masking, social distancing, hand washing, avoiding crowds etc. Unfortunately, the utter disregard for Covid-appropriate behaviour by the public led to a lockdown which had a devastating effect on the economy.
Now the advent of vaccines has added another very powerful tool in our fight against Covid-19. While efforts to implement Covid-appropriate behaviour should continue, our best bet of controlling this pandemic is mass vaccinations as soon as possible.

Bangalore Mirror and
Vijay Karnataka to promote vaccination among the masses.
Welcoming this as an inspirational campaign, Health Minister Dr K Sudhakar said it was time to publicise the need for covid vaccines. “During the first wave, there was
fear and anxiety among healthcare workers who would quarantine themselves in hotels for months by staying away from families. However, during covid 2.0, despite the high infectious rate, there is not much fear among the healthcare workers, and many are heading home after work. The vaccines have reinforced self-confidence.

Bengaluru may see 6,000 Covid-19 cases daily: Experts | Bengaluru News

Health workers from BBMP conduct Covid tests at Majestic bus stand.
BENGALURU: Experts fear that the city might report more than 6,000 Covid-19 cases daily by the third week of April, which could lead to a severe shortage of hospital beds.
Epidemiologist Dr Giridhara Babu warned that at the current rate, Bengaluru would see 6,500 cases every day by April 20. Even if 10 per cent of them require hospitalisation, the city’s health system will be overwhelmed in a few days. “We need action now, not tomorrow,” he said.
From March 28 to April 3, Bengaluru recorded 18,075 cases. Actives cases went up from 15,882 to 26,544 during the period. “The reproductive numbers of the virus in the past few days have increased. Maharashtra is finding it hard to drive out asymptomatic patients from hospitals to tend to the needy. The government must come up with a strategic plan,” he said.

Disorder, long wait on Day 1 of vaccination drive 2.0 at Bengaluru

Ranganath Navalgund, former director of Space Applications Center, Indian Space Research Organisation, has been waiting at Aster CMI hospital in Bengaluru since 10 am for a Covid-19 vaccination. Little did he know that after waiting for over two hours he would be turned away as he had not registered himself on the CoWIN app but had walked in for the jab.
“I tried registering on the CoWIN app but I could not select the venue where I wanted to get the vaccination so I chose to walk in,” said a visibly tired sexagenerian. However, once the BBMP officials arrived with the vaccine shots at noon, he was informed that they are not allowing walk-in vaccinations for the first week to avoid overcrowding.

Overcoming vaccine hesitancy — the key to a successful Covid-19 inoculation drive
SECTIONS

Synopsis
A week into its Covid-19 vaccination drive, India needs to overcome its vaccine hesitancy that is hobbling efforts.
Agencies
The bigger challenge to tackle hesitancy, though, might well be when the vaccine drive is opened to those beyond frontline workers.

Please do come. There is no queue, it won’t take long,” Akash Kumar Jha says persuasively, as he speaks on the phone to a doctor at New Delhi’s Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. It’s one of the many calls the hospital’s first officer for vaccination is making on Thursday morning to coax colleagues into coming in and rolling up their sleeves for a shot of Covaxin, one of the two vaccines India has approved to immunise the country against Covid-19. Jha has good reason to be as convincing as possible — it had been five days since India launched its vaccine drive but the numbers at RML Hospital were not encouraging. While 31 healthcare workers —the only category eligible for vaccination now — took the shot on Day 1 and 69 on Day 2, the number shrank to 27 on Day 3, as against the daily target of 100.
