Thank you Rohin, for speaking your heart out. These are all important points about India and Indian culture, beyond covid.
Just gave! Thank you for bringing more eyes to this
@Medlife Crisis
Couple people asked about subtitles for the interview part. I took the liberty to whip up a crude version of that. Check you mail.
EDIT: In the meantime, I also posted them as a separate comment.
@@JoyanneBecker Thank you Joyanne, truly.
@@AntoninoParino Thank you so much Aldo, it will go far.
The line about Indians being pushed into science leading to huge number of graduates in scientific fields, whilst lacking critical thinking, scientific temperament and a healthy scepticism is the most accurate and poignant feature of this whole debacle.
It's the same kind of thing in the UK, and globally in a lot of ways. I remember being at school and (without wanting to sound like a prick) genuinely knowing I was smarter than these kids that were just good at memorizing how to ace exams. And I say that as someone who also was good at that.
That's because most of them just want to immigrate into US UK Aus or Germany
I agree totally! Thanks for sharing this evaluation, which, as another commenter has pointed out, is NOT unique to India or to other developingcountries.
@@diandenmark People also often go into scientific education because "it pays well" and do the bare minimum to get the degree, without caring about actually learning and understanding. My ChemTech degree was full of such people, and I'm eastern european
@@Deathhead68 It's only because we are taught not to ask questions, and marks are the only qualification you can have (hence mugging is faster than grokking). Hence they don't develop a scientific temper. Hence how can they distinguish facts from fiction? I say this as an Indian, your analysis holds merit.
13:00 "The problem with being a populist, is you have to do popular things, not correct things" spitting the truth here!
This is more deep than it seems
does that not apply to ALL democracy? You have to be popular to get elected
@@meklavier4664 and you won't be popular if you are too honest
The Media decides who gets popular and who doesn't thru narrative and coverage.
@@meklavier4664, yes, but there is a difference between appealing to existing popularity versus having your own principles which you seek to make popular enough that you get voted in.
Don't you dare take this video down, RUclips. We are all watching you.
The news on twotter censorship is fake narrative.
If you think the media is not lying to you, then let them post the screenshots or the content of the tweets that were removed.

My aunt died of Covid in April 2020 in New York City. Watching this I had to donate. I think she would have wanted me to. No one should have to die this way. No family should have to suffer the way families in India do now. I have no job, no money to speak of, but I have a roof over my head and I'm fully vaccinated. I only lost one family member, and it hurts every day. Yet I know that I'm lucky. I hope that the world's people have a strong enough sense of self-preservation to come together and save ourselves.
Yes , We DO....!! Just like Manners & Commonsense , USE SOME INITIATIVE --. DON’ T WAIT ON POLITICIANS FOR ANSWERS!! Despite corruption from Top down We stayed in lock down for a months & some continue in other countries . Complacency no- filtered news no good either . This broader WW Problem had many strive to work on a vaccine Unitedly - now *money should Not get in the way for the bettering of all !!*. A Sick Global People does NOT EQUATE A HEALTHY ECONOMY! Our PM is out of touch with the majority- they’ve sent a LOUD CLEAR message to him in voting even his own siders due to conduct. People @ Top usually forget those who are supporting bellow them, a change in the Numa ( SPIRIT/ WIND ) is coming !!
4 months late but thanks for donating. The 3rd wave is about to begin, but the rampant vaccination hopefully means it will quietly die out.

I live in an african countries. I lost two uncles to this shit. We couldn't even burried them properly. So even If I am not in india, I really do hope that they will manage to survive it.
I wish that everyone will get the vaccine. Stay safe everyone.
Sympathies for your losses. May you and yours be safe.❤️
You too. I'm sorry for your losses. We hear very little about African Countries here in Europe and from some countries there doesn't seem to be data. What measures have been taken where you are from?
sometimes i regret being in Africa
maybe i should move to china where there is no virus
I'm so sorry for your loss...
I lost my dad to this scourge in November in Phoenix, Arizona where too many people, like in India, REFUSED to take this seriously by simply wearing masks and not gathering in large groups. Then the hospitals filled up.
The politicians who enabled and encouraged madness should be held accountable for mass murder.
As a junior doctor in a Sub-Saharan country (Sudan). This is really scary, there is no public awareness, there is no hospital capacity at all. Doctors are being assaulted on a daily basis because they are seen as responsible in the public's eye when there are no beds. And almost no one follows any public safety measures. A third wave didn't even properly start here.
Edit: the point being that doctors are often the first point of contact and when situations get heated violent assaults go up, especially in countries with a mismanaged legal system and poor general education.
Oh man. Hope there are no more waves there and luck turns your way.
@@Undivided-X thanks let's hope so.
So sorry for what you're going through.
Same is the case here in India as well...Illiterates think they are immortal until a doctor decides to kill the patient
They should know we hate to loose patients as much as they hate to loose their loved ones!
The same is happening in India. I hope things don't go south in Sudan. The war, followed by the pandemic. All solidarity to you brother.
This video was a slap in the face to me: Someone who has been fully vaccinated for the past 3 weeks and has gotten relaxed about this. Because of you, I'm now seeing the crisis that is ongoing and is about to get much worse for far more people.
Hey even me working in the hospital every day had started to get a bit complacent and hopeful it's all almost over. It's good to stay positive, but important not to forget this is far from over. Thanks for watching.
Same for me. I live in NZ and it's so incredibly surreal to hear of countries that have cases AT ALL. To know I am in such a privileged position is sobering.
@@PrimxInxTeal how does it feel to have a competent government? as a brit i am jealous lol
@@sippycupgeorgia8078 unreal. I can rest easy when it comes to my own health. If someone is coughing here, it’s almost 100% just a cold. The government is not mucking around at all. If the opposition had been voted in recently, then yeah we’d be out of supplies from an outbreak just like India.
@@PrimxInxTeal I'm in Australia and we've been on top of it, we're still getting a few cases but in my state we haven't had any in a long time and in my town we've had none at all.

@@arnabdas4322 as a person born and raised in Australia who is technically related to China/Vietnamese countries why do you ask some questions
You made a dumb mistake by donating lol , the money will go into governement's pocket
It's kind of sad that "Why does this matter to the world?" isn't as simple as "because millions are suffering and thousands are dying". Honestly it shouldn't take us being personally affected by something for us to want to do something about it. I know this is an important part of getting people to engage with this important topic, but it's unfortunate that it is needed.
Well it's complicated, of course. International, organized action that can make a real difference is incredibly hard in the face of government reacting to it as foreign interference.
(this is only a thought on human behaviour and does not represent my views) Do you not think it's "human nature" to not care about things that dont affact us? With the amount of "negativity" in the world - e.g death and suffering, humans wouldn't be able to keep moving forward...
@@sw8carbon it more about self centertness and self interest greed money and power more then then negativity. That is human nature always has been always will be. If it doesn't affect them people don't care but the moment it does they care. That is self interest.
This comment! No one has any morals or sense of humanity anymore!
Very much agree. It's been discouraging to see that even self-interest isn't enough to move some people nowadays.
As someone from Brazil, i feel for people of India. So many lives lost due to ignorance.
Fascists seem to not care about human lives, unfortunately
Wow. How good of you take up so much of your valuable time to be so condescending. You don't need me to tell you what a fantastic job your president has done in educating people about Covid19 and all of the strict measures he has brought in to totally control the spread of the virus. But then this is a click bait post isn't it. Bye.

18:08 "Let them eat 500mg of cake twice a day after meals." What a golden quote.
As an Indian in Mumbai, a hotspot which seems to be recovering again, thanks for making this. Haven't watched it yet, but just spreading awareness to the world at large helps.
Hydrogen and oxygen can be generated by passing an electric current through water and collecting the two gases as they bubble off. Hydrogen forms at the negative terminal and oxygen at the positive terminal. This method is called electrolysis and produces very pure hydrogen and oxygen. Do this in hospital room with patients in.
@@sinecuris7173 fyi, we didn't breathe pure oxygen like that
@@sinecuris7173 this method requires industrial equipment, you can't just start doing that with out the required distribution and production infrastructure, which India lacks
@@sinecuris7173 This is hardly helpful, since the quality of the oxygen from this method will be quite low when not done in a professional industrial environment.
@@sinecuris7173 Bruh, hope you're trolling or being sarcastic. Not the right time but please don't take this seriously people.
This is so distressing it makes you feel so helpless, like you're watching a train wreck in slow motion
Even more distressing is realizing that you're riding that same train several thousand cars back, and sooner or later you are going to be part of it...
No dude, you're watching 100 tracks of trains getting wrecked in 1x time speed, with carts behind stretching months into the future
Makes me want to puke, period.
It can also move you to action.

@@AnHeC That is not the right attitude. Unless you know something about the fundraiser which I don't, I believe you shouldn't be so pessimistic.
@@AnHeC You are assuming that the donations are being used to 'create things'. In fact, you explicitly state that 'people have to produce things that are needed. This is not completely true. Look at the campaign goal and the procedures here: covid.giveindia.org/healthcare-heroes/
Does it look like deception or a facade to you? Money is not irrelevant and it is not fictitious. I'm sorry for saying this but these exaggerated statements poorly support your argument. We can still make a difference by spreading positivity and encouraginging our friends and families to stay safe (in case you can't afford to donate).
I hope you have a great day.
I from India, vaccine making company just interested in making they charge more than double
Money is not the problem. We (India) have the money but the government is not using the money in a useful manner. The system is so fucked up. Their greed for power and wealth is killing this nation. Remember this is a country that spend 3 billion in building a statue when we needed hospitals and schools. And tons of money has been donated to the PM care funds so far and still people have to buy a single dose of vaccine for a considerably higher price. Where is all our money going to? This is the question.
As someone who lives in India, got infected by covid 2 weeks ago alongwith my mother. I am really thankful that me and most importantly my mother are survived and recovering. I was waiting for you to make a video on India. I even searched your channel many times and finally you made a masterpiece video. I agree with almost everything you are saying here. Thanks doctor.
Get well my friend. I hope everyone is safe where you are
@@abinavkannan3179 thank you for ur wishes 🙏🙏
@@llhannah9297 an unpredictable virus surge. I really don't know any reason behind that. I will not blame SOPs too since we were not following sops from like November/December. Yes Maharashtra was a state where covid have never been in control but in other states we were in very safe numbers. All of a sudden in April the virus spreads at an exponential state. Here Dr. Rohin is blaming Kumbh mela and rallies, may be they could be the reason but I m not impressed since farmers protest, public gathering, gym group classes.. everything was going normally since October 2020 and nothing happened then.
You and your mother ar strong
Good luck for future
@@llhannah9297 It could be the UK & other international variants combining in the densely populated & internationally visited Mumbai (the epicenter of the second wave), that led to a double-mutant variant emerging. Currently, a new variant has been found (N440k) that's apparently 1000 times more infectious than the current ones in circulation.
It all seemed fine until like early March.... The last month has been crazy. Thanks for spreading awareness doc
It is weird how some countries can do have such extreme up- and downswings in fortune during this pandemic. During the first wave, everyone in Europe was looking at Portugal in envy, as they did a tremendous job of keeping the virus at bay, but come the second wave, they were suddenly the hardest hit country on the continent. I suspect it's going to take decades of research to find out once and for all how this same cycle occurred in quite a few otherwise unrelated countries.
From my experience, most of us were still in what I would call the "February state of mind" in early April. And by most of us I don't just mean individuals, the authorities, institutions etc were making it mandatory to attend all the events physically. Even now there are certain institutions which want their students to come back on campus and it's, for the lack of a better term, Absolutely fuckin the mind of those students. There are still a lot of people who are in denial of the dangers of Covid and have a bit of this superiority complex that Covid can't do much damage to Indians for some reason. Add to that the Rich fleeing the Country after actively promoting the events of mass gathering and well, you get what we have now. To all the Indians here rn, when we say we have to get through this together, WE MEAN IT. IN ALL SENSE AND MEANING OF THE WORD "TOGETHER".🙏
Probably a new strain appeared
😢💯💯💯
God save us all
Have mercy 🙏
This is so true. Life seemed back to normal around October of last year.
We had come out of the lockdown around August of 2020, and by October nearly everything had opened up - gyms, malls, markets, bars, restaurants, hotels etc. Everything except schools, of course. The tourism industry was coming back to life as well. We seemed to be back on track.
Like you said, everything seemed fine until early March.
"Indian Governments rejection of Science" the whole 2nd wave in a sentence.
Based on 2-3 statements from 3-4 people if anyone can have such a stance, that shows how politically biased and ignorant this guy is.
Not surprising 😑😑🙃😒😞😭
@The they are politicians , politicians often make dumb comments be it of any party. media just propagates them to large extent .
@The Our health minister was on the stage to endorse coronil on it's launch. What more do you want?

I have donated to the 3 charities you listed on the top. I will be donating again in a few days. Just a few months ago I was willing to spend a few grand to get a jab in Dubai. The NHS have vaccinated me for free, so I'll use some of that money to help people in India. And I really hope India votes in a non-comical government next time.
That's good
I'm a student but I've got some money spare from lockdown, better it goes to saving someone than drinks 😣
I'm sorry it won't. A Muslim man was helping a Hindu man, the Hindu man asked his name, and refused the oxygen help he was giving. This government is literally fascist and has money, muscle, and media in its control. After the hardships are over, during the next elections, the thing that will matter is Communal Hatred, attacking Pakistan and China. Some poor soldiers will lose their lives in a government-orchestrated murder and the government will ask votes designating him as a martyr!

has the govt really failed you when you elected them in the first place? as rohin said, lack of critical thinking.
Just donated (I used the first link and it was fairly easy, in case anyone from Europe is interested)! I'm Spanish but this affects us all.

i’m from singapore, and i was shocked when our government was banning flights from india…i pondered why and started researching online and was just astounded watching the clips of many deceased persons being cremated and buried…praying for things to get better
also keep safe locally and wear the mask properly (no nude nose which many people are actually doing)
the government ban came too late. the indian variant has spread to singapore.
Lies
Hearing that children are now being counted among the dead is just heartbreaking and sickening.
Its bad enough people are dying in Hospital. Its worse to think of those who have died at home often forgotten .
When all of this is over and authorities can go door to door I can promise that they will find people dead who never got to a hospital, even in the US.
There were always a tiny percentage of deaths among children.
It doesn’t affect children. If there’s children being counted, the numbers are fake.
Wonder how many will take security in being vaccinated at cost fo their live's.. and inclusion in the covid number's..
@@sofamiller7133 Wow so you are calling those cremating them liars?
Here are subtitles for the interview with Dr. Pushka 19:44 to 25:20
They are rought, because I wanted to publish them ASAP and I'm not a native english speaker myself.
But I hope they will help to convey the message.
19:44
Rohir:
What is the situation like at the moment?
19:47
Dr. Pushka:
It's hell.
19:48
And that's an understatement.
Because there are no beds available, anywhere.
?you know? at least my city of Nagpur is very well known it's hospitals and medical care in general.
But there are no beds here.
People are dying here because they are not getting ?beds/meds?.
They are not getting the treatment they need.
20:15
You know as a doctor it's a very sad situation to see because and you feel so helpless.
And it's very disheartening. ????? so to say
To say that it's hell outthere is an understatement.
And that's the best I can, you know, describe it.
20:32
Rohir:
Can you describe a typical day for you at the moment? What does a shift look like?
20:38
Dr. Pushka:
So basically we have twelve-hour shifts.
20:42
Day is twelve-hour shift and two six-hour shifts.
20:44
That's our normal ?covid? rotation, that happens.
20:48
We lack manpower.
20:50
So sometimes it happens, that the ones who are at night have to continue in the morning shift also.
20:59
So basically that twelve-hour duration gets ?stretched? by six more hours.
21:04
Rohir:
And you are doing the whole shift in full PPE (Personal protective equipment) I assume.
- ( (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, gloves, face shields, goggles, facemasks and/or respirators or other equipment designed to protect the wearer from injury or the spread of infection or illness.)
21:09
Dr. Pushka:
Not the full PPE, not the eighteen hours but most of it.
21:14
You know, like around six to eight hours, give or take.
21:19
Rohir:
Wow.
21:20
Dr. Pushka:
We do that in PPE.
21:21
Dr. Pushka:
There is a lot of people ????? but that's minor thing.
21:25
Rohir:
Are there more than one patient per bed at the moment?
21:28
Dr. Pushka:
In the casualty (emergency department) yes.
21:31
In the wards at least we manage to have one bed per patient.
21:35
But where the triage (where patients are first diagnosed) get place, the casualty area, you have four patients per bed.
21:43
And I just, you know, I just saw a patient who had to spend four days in casualty.
21:51
Because there were no beds.
21:53
Four days in casualty, casualty area, then on the fifth day he got a bed.
22:00
But by then, his situation became so bad, that the next day of getting the bed he passed away.
22:07
And the guy was below fourty years of age.
22:11
The thing is that we had time.
22:14
Our governments had time. From the local government, to state government, to central government.
22:20
We had time to prepare, but we didn't prepare that much.
22:25
??? treatment of doctors, you know, we are not prepared as good.
22:31
As we have heard in other countries, basically.
22:35
So the treatment of doctors is very bad. So to say.
22:42
Rohir:
Have you seen a lot of patients dying?
22:44
Dr. Pushka:
Yes actually.
22:46
Currently, you know I just said, I'm working in ??forensic?? medicine.
22:50
So basically I have to go sometimes to the mortuary.
( place used for the storage of human corpses awaiting identification or removal for autopsy or respectful burial )
22:56
So, in mortuary I ???? put things in context.
23:01
Last week, there was one particular day, ?? I belive ??? it was ??? friday.
23:06
But ?? pre (before) ?? COVID record for most bodies ???? post mortem ??? most bodies being dispatched to ????
23:18
It was 25. And that was the most.
23:20
Last week it was 140.
23:22
Rohir:
My goodness.
23:24
Dr. Pushka:
Yes.
23:26
And on an average we are dispatching around 75 bodies
23:31
That's average.
23:32
Rohir:
What do you think is the main reason why it's so bad in India?
23:40
Afterall it was doing quiet well before and the case numbers were low.
23:44
Why do you think it has changed that much?
23:45
Dr. Pushka:
Well, there are many factors I would say.
23:51
But I, you must be meaning about Kumbh Mela (Kumbha Mela)
23:57
So basically what happend is, I'm in Nagpur so it means Kumbh Mela did not happen yet in my region.
24:05
But where it's happening social distancing is not properly enforced.
24:12
When they say that social distancing will be followed and everything will be done.
24:16
But that hasn't been done at all.
24:20
And when there were cases increasing the government did not enforce it, to contain it. ???????
24:32
And then there were other big things that were allowed to happen.
24:37
Like the election rallies in ??some city?? you know.
24:41
So there are many things like that, that contributed to this.
24:45
Many ??? in other parts of India where basdically the Kumbha is right now in the process.
24:53
You can say that the cases are being under reported.
24:59
And deaths are being under reported.
25:03
Basically people are ??? covering it up.
25:08
And that leads to people being in a false sense of security.
25:16
So because of that it's increasing more right now.

Having family in India, this is so damn depressing. And the government being complicit in this(even before covid) makes it all the more rage inducing.
Thanks for doing this Rohin.
I have already lost a family member in India and I'm increasingly worried for everyone else in my very large Indian family. This is definitely a global responsibility and not just for India to handle alone.
Hi from South Africa. I can confirm here that vaccines aren’t very available here, although the majority of our healthcare workers have now received one. We’ve been fortunate enough to have kept our numbers low due to lockdown measures and hopefully that continues until herd immunity is achieved
Variants mean you can’t entirely trust “herd immunity”
@@chriswalford4161 also natural Covid immunity is weak. That's why vaccines are not using simple inactivated viruses, but rather mRNA Targeting or Recombinant Adenovector viruses.
@@sanoon4887 no such thing happened in the continent.
In most small towns in Russia vaccine is also not very available, while our government continues to sell more of it abroad 🤦
What a load of crap from you all. Take the death rate in your area, divide by infections, tht is your risk percent, very low. Check av age if deaths, very high
Gosh. You know things are bad when Pakistan agrees to help.
That is very wholesome tho.
Over 70 yerars or so we were all one pak and india and more ie bangladesh things seem to be bad and yes pakistan will help if allowed to we are all humans need to show humanity and by the way covid has no Wright to do this to India it really gets pak angry
Agrees to help india
To be honest, Pakistani citizen have always prayed and extended help when Indian citizens are suffering. The sweetest and best comments I read are from Pakistanis. Similarly, when anything tragic happens over there, I see and hear a lot of Indians pouring love and prayers. I remember when army school in Pak was attacked and small children were killed, my mother just started crying and praying for the children and their parents. There were open letters and newspaper was full of grief. People in both countries are afterall just people with ❤️

Thank you. As an Australian with Indian family, I am looking on from afar in horror. This was a great video. You not only presented great information on the current situation, but the context you gave and the first had accounts and the further reading, and the charities. This was better coverage than I have seen from any media outlet.

Hey mate. It's the thought that counts. :D Thank you for the kind gesture.
You know I am skeptical about whether the money that so many people are donating would ever reach those who need it........ I remember when I was in school in 2009 there was a cyclone which hit WB, India. Specifically the Sundarbans region. 50000 people became homeless. We heard that a lot of people from foreign countries donated huge sums of money. When I entered college in 2015 I went for an excavation in that area. You won't believe me even in 2015 most of the people were homeless in that region living in temporary settlements. When I and some of our friends questioned the nearby police station they told us to "f**k off". Later after returning to Calcutta I realized after some research that those money never reached the needy.
Who is responsible? In the end it is the people who are responsible. People don't have healthcare and education as priority. Thus they elect leaders who also don't have that as a priority. It is vicious circle.
And you will see legions of arrogant Indians bashing every other country on earth day & night.
Everything, literally everything, makes me sad nowadays.

This is what exponential growth looks like.
No country, poor or rich, can handle such a growth.
The challenge for all countries in the world is to slow the spread by social distancing, wearing masks, washing your hands, vaccinating.
It is up to leadership to understand this, explain it to their citizens, and make sure to get appropriate measures in place.

It seems like a victory ! Let's make even worse decisions and acts now"
It is very distressing to see the situation in India, especially here in Brazil. In the state of Manaus there was a lack of oxygen for a week at the worst moment of the second wave, the images on our news were terrifying, people dying without any support. Deaths here have stopped rising, are still very high, around 3000 a day, but worse than many registered deaths is the inability to even register deaths, which apparently is the situation in India. Strength to all in india, we will help in whatever we can.
Hydrogen and oxygen can be generated by passing an electric current through water and collecting the two gases as they bubble off. Hydrogen forms at the negative terminal and oxygen at the positive terminal. This method is called electrolysis and produces very pure hydrogen and oxygen. But there was none.
@@sinecuris7173 -- It's not merely a question of how to produce it. After that step, there are multiple key factors:
* Who is available to produce it?
* Are containers available to store it?
* Is there transportation to get it where it needs to be?
* Is there equipment available to feed it to those who desperately need it?
* Most Importantly:
Does the infrastructure exist to ensure all of these steps are successfully being undertaken in the most desperately affected areas?
Simplistic thinking-- only focusing on the first step-- only makes the thinker feel good about themself, but often is as useless as not thinking at all.
@@eme.261 He is Just a troll.
Oh yeah and electrolysis is very power hungry and thus expensive
@@alephkasai9384 Oxygen is not even extracted by electrolysis, it is obtained by fractional distillation of liquefied air. Ignorant people like this guy just want to make jokes about the suffering of others, he has no interest in the real supply mechanisms of hospitals. You are correct, producing oxygen by electrolysis would be a tremendous stupidity, the process is so expensive and requires so much space that it is only useful in the production of some metals such as aluminum.

Thank you so much for taking your time to make this video. It's devastating to see how ignorant the general population can be. While India is busy celebrating kumbh, here in Bangladesh people are busy paying their regular visits to mosques. It's devastating to see religion and pseudoscience take over rational thinking. Most people don't take safety measures and many don't even believe in the pandemic. Many are convinced that prayers are the solution to not getting infected. People just can't seem to care about anyone but themselves. In regions full of superstitious people, logical explanations are merely unpopular opinions.
Just curious, are the schools still running in Bangladesh? If so, are you of the opinion that they should be closed too?
@@OmarKhanMOK No. schools are closed.
I have never agreed more
Now some swami, priest or some religious guy will come and call us idiots
@@rishenreni7618 I usually find replying to comments very unproductive, but I think this is a sensible topic that has a bit of nuance, so I'll just chime in a bit.
Not every religious person is irrational. I'm sure you're aware of that, but thought I'd mention it for anyone else reading. Just like for opening schools for students during a COVID-normal (obv not like how India is atm) rather than an absolute COVID-zero, there's weight in the argument of opening up places of worship. What some people on the other side of the argument don't understand/realize is the importance of places of worship to the faith of a religious person.
Not being able to attend places of worship for months on end has massive social implications for those less advantaged or those struggling to find meaning/hope. Like for studentsin schools, many underestimate the value of what basic interaction with people of similar background has to an individual's wellbeing. It's almost fundamental to how some people function.
Yes, some may not feel that way, but many others do.

As a privileged westerner who has personally benefitted from having a Covid vaccine I am grateful for this video and the links of where I can donate to help. Thank you.
Thank you for the most articulate and comprehensive report of the situation here that I have seen so far.
From India - There is an outbreak in my university, 4 professors have already succumbed to the virus despite having been vaccinated. Over 70% of the students have cought the virus showing all the well known symptoms. But only the first batch of 30+ sick students were tested positive, the tests results (both RT PCR and Rapid test) of the rest of the students who eventually cought the virus keep coming negative.
That’s terrifying.
The results will only be positive within a certain time frame of being infected. It isn't like you will get a positive result if you test like 2 days after initial infection. The total viral load will not be high enough to detect yet. It is completely possible to have enough viral load to have symptoms, but not enough to detect on these tests.
It’s just spreading so fast. I’m so sorry. Protect the ones u can
They were not vaccinated. They probably got saline or you are lying.
@@davesmith9858 just a guess, but they might have only gotten the first dose yet.
Rowan Atkinson did play the Archbishop for a sketch so you weren’t far off.

On the question Why should we care? Because it's the right thing to do.
Even if we ignore Indias pharmaceutical production and their software development industry (those are the main things I know that India exports) they're human. We should care.
I remember feeling worried about the population of Delhi, because of the horrific air pollution they receive from crop burning.
Yes it shouldn't even need justifying beyond "these are people, the people are suffering"
I've felt a very similar feeling recently as I first felt watching the disease spreading in Italy. And now it's much worse. My thoughts are with people of India and I'll see what I can do to help.
Compassion is subjective, a person either has it or he doesn't. You don't make a person feel compassion by telling him he should.
But with such cold, rational reasons, you may convince even selfish people to help out by highlighting how helping serves their personal interests too.
@@Mar184 yup, helping out everyone should be in everyone's self interest, the longer this virus goes around the more likely it is to mutate and prolong this pandemic making current vaccines obsolete.

So very grateful to live in Australia. My heart breaks for the people of India.
Tell your government to not vote for privatising vaccine patents then. Australia voted against supplying vaccines and vaccine patent rights to underdeveloped countries at the UN.
@@psi9899 likely because we don’t have enough vaccines to supply our own people as of yet. I’m disabled, a vulnerable person supposedly in the second group... nothing.
Our federal government has completely bollocksed up vaccine delivery. The only reason we have such low cases is due to (most) state governments really stepping up in regards to lockdowns and closing borders (especially Queensland and Western Australia). If it were left up to the federal government... well, it’s run by a man who thought the middle of the massive bushfire crisis was a great time to jet off to Hawaii for a vacation.
Unfortunately, vaccine buying, manufacturing, and distribution are the province of our federal government. It’s not going well. But that is why Australia isn’t giving out any vaccines to other countries. We don’t have the vaccines to give to our own citizens- none of my care workers (who actually work in aged care as well as disability care) have been vaccinated. It’s a shambles. But thankfully, it’s not as urgent a problem as it would be, due to the states’ management of the virus. They are (for the most part) listening to scientists, and announce lockdowns pretty quickly when necessary.
@@psi9899 and in regard to patents for vaccines and medications generally- don’t forget that our government is both extremely conservative and neoliberal. Of course they privatise everything that they possibly can- it’s what conservatives do. The fact that people still vote for them really shows the lack of political education as well as the immense political apathy in Australia. It’s a huge problem.

Actually the same thing happened in my country, Czechia. We,ve done a great job last spring and everyone was praising us. We also felt great about it and just like India basically opened up as if covid didn't exist anymore. During the second wave we found out that's not the case and for a long while we achieved the top place... in covid infections and deaths per capita... Were still in top 3 (way over India) in cumulative numbers per capita. Thankfully its getting much better now.
Solidarity with you, I saw the numbers at the time and it was horrifying watching the increase in Czechia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A close friend of mine's family lives in India and her dad was hesitant to get the vaccines because of all the bad press. She's been through enough lately. I can't bear the thought of anything happening to her family on top of all that. This situation is scary! Thank you very much for speaking out about it!
Some guy on Twitter told me not to get the vaccine because modi government doesn't know anything and they don't trust the MODI vaccine.
By God was I furious. Like the government was already doing a lousy job at prevention but now you people spread misinformation for your politics?
Some stupid politicians were literally campaigning that they won't get 'modi vaccine' as if the govt. created it and not the many trained scientists and doctors who churned out the vaccine as quickly a s possible to help the masses.
As an Indian who moved to England as a child, I have to say I was skeptical about India's handling of COVID, just knowing how corruptly people in the government act.
