Terrifying COVID-19 situation in India and is there a Silver Lining? – Beyond The Lines

India also allowed opening of businesses by November last year where large numbers of people worked together with very little scope of practising social distancing. Little did they know that the COVID-19 was a ticking time bomb and when the needle reached zero it was a blast of infections with the central and state government unable to get a grip over the situation.

On 26th April, 2021 India registered 3.52 lakh or 352,991 new COVID-19 cases and 2,812 deaths. One year ago on this very day the total number of infections were 1,607 and 56 deaths. According to sources every minute more than 200 people are getting infected from the novel coronavirus in India. Total confirmed cases of COVID-19 in India is 17 million. So yes the situation is terrifying at this time.

Silver Lining

India as of 26th April, 2021 has supplied vaccines to 95 countries with 663.698 lakh doses of Indian made COVID-19 vaccine. Countries like the U.K, U.S.A, U.A.E have agreed to ship the vital raw materials needed for the production of the vaccines. Germany and France have confirmed to send oxygen to overcome the medical oxygen crisis. Iran has said that it is ready to provide any technological assistance if needed.

By the end of May India would be producing 15 million doses of indigenous and foreign vaccines every day. At that pace 75% of the population or 1,020,000,000 people will receive both doses of the vaccine within 9 months.

Camp Polk

Pacific Paratrooper

Entrance to Camp Polk

It took 22 trains and one week to transport the proud and cocky division to Camp Polk in the west-central area of Louisiana.  This was the home of the armored forces and it would not take long for the two units to clash.  But first, the 11th A/B planned to enjoy the improved living conditions and the 3.2 beer.  They found time to “hit the town” and often it was a place called “Scotty’s,” just outside of Southern Pines.

Camp Polk 1944

The tank units, who called Camp Polk their home, did not take kindly to the new finely tuned troopers who were in the best shape of their lives (and they knew it!).  The 11th A/B  would often “unboot” the tankers when they were in town, forcing them to return to base barefoot and find their footwear neatly lined up in their barracks.

ASIA/INDIA – The Indian Bishops: closeness to the population affected by the pandemic; the government is clearly responsible – Agenzia Fides

Archbishop Prakash Mallavarapu, President of the Health Commission of the Indian Bishops’ Conference (CBCI), explains to Fides: “It can be said that the main cause of this tragic situation is the complacency of the government and the lack of conscience public. Negligence is putting a strain on everyone while the country struggles with a record rise in infections”. In fact, India has exported its more than 60 million Covid vaccines to 84 countries, while the country’s vaccination centers suffer from vaccine shortages. “Certainly there has been a great error of evaluation by the government and the general public: little attention has been paid to the rules on social distancing, while the state machine has ignored the application of the rules”, said Archbishop Mallavarapu.
