Delhi is currently under lockdown which is almost 4 weeks mature. Oxygen emergencies are starting to get responses from suppliers as the number of suppliers has increased because this is what you should be selling in these times. All ICUs still remain full, only a few available, but this news has come as a hope for healthcare infrastructure for National Capital Region.
The city’s test positivity rate has dropped down to 12.4%, which is the lowest since April. This could mean, we are going down on the curve. It is expected that India will experience the third wave in July or August.
“Delhi has recorded fewer than 10,000 cases in the last 24 hours. This has been possible only due to a strict lockdown and the discipline of the people in Delhi. For now, we must remember not to let our guard down,” said the honourable Chief Minister of Delhi, Mr Arvid Kejriwal. No comments were made on the extension of lockdown that is ending on May 17, but it is evident that it might extend.

The country faced a huge problem as there wasn’t enough oxygen available and no bed for patients. Basically, we struggled to provide the necessities.

The population of our metropolitans is also a big concern for the government as they can hold millions and billions of people with just a police force of thousands.

The government has added that they will focus on strengthening its own system than creating makeshift facilities to help our whole population as we are only going to grow larger in number. Experts suggest that the vaccination program isn’t conducted as efficiently as possible, people from Delhi have to wait for months to get a shot. Delhi as a whole also faced a shortage of doses as the AAP party blames BJP for this.
The capital has delivered 4.4 million doses to date, with 1 million people receiving both doses. The government should focus on vaccination strategies as the current ones are not helping very much.
“The people who have had an infection now are more or less protected from a second one for now. So, we should target those who haven’t had an infection and immunise them first,” said, Dr Jugal Kishore, head of the department of community medicine at Safdarjung Hospital.
Vaccination on a mass level can save our country and this world, other than that there no other option for us as this virus will keep mutating and keep infecting us. So stay home and stay safe until you are safe.
