Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, India has witnessed a massive surge of cases in the past 3 weeks. As of April 30, 33 610 confirmed cases and 1075 deaths have been reported from 32 states/union territories in India. Apart from the nationwide lockdown, India has increased its testing rate and has markedly strengthened the health care sector to combat COVID-19. With India’s population of more than 1.3 billion people at a significant population density compared with the rest of the world, the lack of universal access to clean water and overall poor socioeconomic status, all have posed a major challenge to India’s fight against COVID-19. Failure to contain the pandemic in India could have disastrous consequences with widespread cases and thousands of deaths that could easily overwhelm the health care infrastructure. Unabated spread of the pandemic could make India the next COVID-19 hotspot; hence the World Health Organization has recently stated that the “future of the pandemic will depend on how India handles it.” Here, we have summarized the present scenario of the pandemic in India and the myriad challenges being faced by the country in its fight against COVID-19.

and its only getting greater they have other diseases added to there COVID-19 disaster and its called "Black Fungus" its upsetting to see whats happening in India and i hope it get better soon because they are saying that COVID-19 Vaccines wont work on variant so death rates could climb double (I dont endorse COVID-19 vaccines thats my personal faith i dont want to rattle anyone on that just reporting whats happening) India is now trying to resupply in Oxygen after losing high amounts of it because over-hospitalization which is the effect of Covid.
COVID-19 case numbers started to drop in India last September, after a high of around 100,000 daily infections. But they began to rise again in March and the current peak is more than double the previous one (see ‘Surging cases of COVID-19’).

“The second wave has made the last one look like a ripple in a bathtub,” says Zarir Udwadia, a clinician-researcher in pulmonary medicine at P D Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre in Mumbai, who spoke to Nature during a break from working in the intensive-care unit. He describes a “nightmarish” situation at hospitals, where beds and treatments are in extremely short supply.
Like many others in India, Ray is somewhat baffled by the seemingly sudden COVID-19 surge. In an unprecedented move, hundreds of scientists sent a plea on April 30 to Prime Minister Narendra Modi asking to ramp up data collection and allow access to already collected COVID-19 data. These scientists say more data are needed to understand how the coronavirus is spreading, manage the outbreak and predict what’s to come.

“It is essential now, more than ever before, that dynamic public health plans be implemented on the basis of scientific data to arrest the spread of infections and save the lives of our citizens,” they wrote. As of May 6, more than 800 scientists had signed on to that appeal.
India is worsening and its sad to see whats happening over there God bless them. :(

They say Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the Donald Trump of India, who blew off warnings from the WHO on COVID-19 and held rallies that were jammed packed with people not wearing masks.

Once everything has shaken out and folks have had time to analyze the data, I'll be interested to see the findings on why the disease spread and killed the way it did. Why was it so much more lethal in the northeastern US? Why did it take a year for it to explode in India when conditions there made it ripe for a huge outbreak from the beginning?

Perhaps, but it seems masks aren't the "cure" there at all when you get fined for not wearing one.
ye mask doesnt stop spreading scientist proved that the only thing mask does is lower the possibility but since the population in india so great and they housing and hospitals were so packed together spreading doubled for the people families etc.

Apparently its "lowering" power isn't that impressive.

Seems contradictory compared to the article I posted to what is actually taking place in India currently. Their healthcare system has been overwhelmed with new infection cases.
Either India "cooked the books" or masking isn't that effective or there is two different strains in two time periods.

Well here it's been proven that masks do prevent the spread of the disease and our current situation shows that it along with vaccinations did work.

Can face masks protect against coronavirus?
I've seen studies that pretty much show statistically masks aren't very effective, and I believe often they give people a false sense of security making them forgo proper distancing and avoiding people with symptoms around them too.

But the studies aren't reliable where as the CDC and WHO studies have been confirmed and supported by the world medical community.

So, it's a matter of listing to the CDC or someone on a social media site. :D

Well one reason we got in this pickle is because the CDC and WHO didn't DO THEIR JOBS.
