There is an outcry in Delhi hospitals regarding oxygen supply. There is a lot of pressure on hospitals where small and big hospitals are running out of limited supplies for the next few hours.

Some hospitals like Saroj Super Specialty are advising relatives of patients to take patients to another hospital. Forti’s Hospital (Shalimar Bagh) is currently running on a protected oxygen supply and has urged the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister of Delhi and other ministers to provide ‘immediate help’.

Officials said that 20 extremely sick patients died overnight in Jaipur Golden Hospital in Delhi amid an oxygen crisis. There are about 200 patients admitted to the hospital and they had only half an hour of oxygen left at 10.45 am.

]]>Two very bad and one good news for all of us. The pace of Corona in the country is not taking a name. New records of statistics are being made every day.
Within the last 24 hours, the highest number of new patients has been found so far. During this period, 3 lakh 32 thousand 320 people have been found positive.
This is the second consecutive day when more than three lakh patients have been identified in the country within a day. Earlier on Wednesday, 3.15 lakh people were found infected.
The second concern is that the number of deaths is also increasing. On Thursday, 2,256 patients died within a day. This is the highest number of people who died within one day from Corona.
Earlier there were 2,101 deaths on Wednesday and 2,021 on Tuesday. In this case, India has now reached number one in the world. Meaning we are having more deaths than other countries of the world. Brazil is now at number two.
Relief between two bad news is that the pace of recovery of corona patients in the country is also increasing continuously. A record 1 lakh 98 thousand 180 people got cured in one day on Thursday. This is the highest number of people who have recovered since last year.
Earlier on Wednesday, 1.92 lakh people were recovered.
In the country, the number of active cases i.e. patients who are being treated, will cross 25 lakh today. The number of such patients has increased by a record 1 lakh 37 thousand 671 in the last 24 hours.

]]>The post In UK, 60-70 thousand patients were found daily appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>Some time ago the same situation was there in the rest of the developed countries of the world. For example, in countries like Britain, Spain, America, Israel, Italy, the speed of Corona was as fast as it is in India today. In these countries too, the medical infrastructure was reduced.
There was a crisis of beds, oxygen, ventilators, PPE kits, but now the situation in these countries has completely changed. The only reason for this is vaccination.
Experts around the world also believe that maximum vaccination can prevent corona. We got positive results of vaccination in 6 countries of the world. We will introduce you to the situation of such countries. We will tell you what was the situation here and how the situation changed after large-scale vaccination …?
The photo is from the UK. Here, people are being vaccinated on the middle road as well under vaccination drive.
The UK is the biggest example of a positive result of vaccination. The vaccination drive started here from December 8 last year. Then every day 60 to 70 thousand new corona were found infected all over the country. Beds were reduced in hospitals.
There were 1000-1200 deaths every day, but as the vaccination intensified, the situation started changing. Since February, the number of infected people has been steadily decreasing.
Now every day only one to two thousand people are getting infected, while 15 to 20 deaths are happening. Almost all restrictions across the country have been lifted. Schools and colleges have opened up as before.
The photo is of Israel. Here, the imperative for people to wear masks has been abolished. There has also been a steady decline in the case of infection.
The imperative of wearing masks has now been discontinued in Israel. Meaning people are walking around without a mask. School-college, business has reopened. Markets are opening, tourists are coming. Meaning Israel has almost beaten Corona.
All this has been possible, because 61% of the population has been vaccinated here so far. It aims to cross 90% within the next two to three months. Earlier, 10 to 11 thousand people were found infected here. Hardly 100 people are now being infected, while one or two deaths are occurring every day.
The photo is from New York State, USA. Vaccination is taking place on a large scale here. This has led to a decrease in corona cases.
The conditions that are present in India, some were in America from September to January. Between 1 and 3.07 lakh corona were getting infected every day. During this time, the election of the US President was also held. Just as uncontrollable crowds used to gather at the rallies of leaders in India, so did the uncontrollable crowd. Most people did not wear masks.
Everyday between 2 and 6 thousand people were dying, but the whole country did not give up. Vaccination occurred rapidly. Now the situation is that 39.56% of the population here has been vaccinated. This has resulted in an 80% drop in the rate of infection. Earlier, where 1-3 lakh patients were found every day, now 50-60 thousand patients are being found.
