India Experiencing A Prolonged Covid Surge That Appears To Be Worsening.

“India weathered a surge in September that approached nearly 100,000 new infections a day, but then numbers dropped dramatically, creating the impression the country was defeating the virus.
Starting in March, however, the number of new cases has exploded to new highs, topping 300,000 for the past four days. Sunday’s count of 349,691 new cases in the previous 24 hours was the most for any country in a 24-hour period during the pandemic. The 2,767 deaths reported Sunday was a new high for India.”
India needs the World’s help and wealthy nations need to step to front of the line and pledge support. America has an abundance of vaccines that are going unused because a sizable portion of the population does not believe science is real and those excess resources need to be shared with the less fortunate nations like India. The virus has to be tamped down everywhere on the planet or it will continue to mutate into variants that and become immune to the currently available vaccines. That would be most unfortunate.
