“With those reported numbers, India became the second country after the United States to cross 20 million infections. Although aid has begun to pour in from other countries, hospitals are still unable to help many of those who are critically ill, and families have been left to hunt for much-needed oxygen.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been sharply criticized by many for underplaying the virus earlier this year, and on Tuesday the opposition leader Rahul Gandhi said a national lockdown was desperately needed, calling it “the only option.””
India’s Coronavirus nightmare continues unabated and now is the only the 2nd country to report 20 million infections. The rest of the World is pledging to help and India will need all the help it can get. Public health officials hope that India’s Covid conundrum is not a harbinger of things to come for other developing nations. Vaccinations are key to finally ending the pandemic and the developing nations must pledge their excess vaccines to poor countries or the virus will keep causing chaos throughout the World.
