There are way too many very poor people, living in overcrowded and dismal conditions. How they could come to think this wouldnt happen is what astounds me.
And at this point, what can they do? Even with vaccines, it would be weeks, months before they would make any impact.
As far as medical aid, I believe that likely, those with funds are not being affected as badly and may very well have access to help if they need it.

@PhoenixPhail And this from National Geographic...
"This surge of COVID-19 cases comes three months after the Indian health minister announced "India has successfully contained the pandemic." He believed that studies based on a mathematical "Indian Supermodel" suggested the country “may have reached herd immunity” through natural infections. But the model was flawed, and the results skewed by the lack of accurate data. Now the number of daily new infections has crippled the healthcare system; oxygen and PPE supplies have run out, there are no hospital beds available, and patients are dying on sidewalks and streets as they wait outside hospitals."

Yhe number of deaths recorded are only the ones that have died in hospital.
Modi is more interested in rallying for elections and calling people to vote than the virus.
People are attacking medical staff they are so frustrated.
They are selling oxygen on the black market and also profiteering from selling cremation pictures
All the ant-vaxxers should learn what is happening there can happen anywhere
As for the IPL, a number of overseas players have returned home. Some players have donated money to help the crisis, others have quit saying the cannot play.
I do understand that those still playing say they do so to entertain and uplift the country during lockdown.

@Mamapolo2016 but if there is no roo. In the hospital what use is an ambulance.

@InOtterWords True. That's why I said it LOOKS bad. Practically, a handful of ambulances couldn't stem the Covid-tides - but it's how it looks.

@Mamapolo2016 on twitter I was reading about this divisive argument. The stadiums do not have fans watching, it is pretty much the teams, and the coaching and medical staff.
The ambulances there are privately owned so are not taking away any service. It is a bit like here how football ⚽️ continued even if we were in lockdown.
