Sun, 2021-05-02 14:29 — mike kraft

Indian court urges government action as hospitals cry help NEW DELHI (AP) — With Indian hospitals struggling to secure a steady supply of oxygen, and more COVID-19 patients dying amid the shortages, a court in New Delhi said it would start punishing government officials for failing to deliver the life-saving items. On Sunday, India recorded a slight drop in new infections with 392,488 from a high of 401,993 in the previous 24 hours. It also reported 3,689 additional deaths, bringing the total to 215,542. Experts believe both figures are an undercount.

Another 3,523 people died in the past 24 hours, raising the overall fatalities to 211,853, according to the Health Ministry. Experts believe both figures are an undercount.

More on the Indian variant that is adding to the country's coronavirus problems.

Fri, 2021-04-30 20:54 — mike kraft

This 'double mutant' variant is adding fuel to India's COVID-19 crisis
