I have never seen a situation like this in my lifetime. Spike in cases, deaths and need for oxygen, medicines have been through the roof. Consider helping / donating. I am attaching the list of resources that I felt are doing a great job.

1. Hemkunt Foundation is helping people get oxygen cylinders. https://hemkuntfoundation.com/donate-now/

2. Help women get sanitary napkin kits. https://indiafightscorona.giveindia.org/safeperiod/

3. Support Swasth & ACT Grants In Procuring Oxygen Concentrators For India. https://www.impactguru.com/fundraiser/oxygen

4. Help the needy get a meal. https://fundraisers.giveindia.org/fundraisers/khaanachahiye-mumbai-is-battling-hunger-along-with-covid-19-again

Situation is really bad in India. Lost my friend ( age 35) & mentor (age 56).

My family was taking all precautions Mask/Sanitizer/social distancing/Not eating outside/ No social gathering but got infected recently. My mother have got 1 dose of vaccine but still got Covid. She is having fever since last 3 days but all doctors are advising to stay at home.

Thankfully my brother recoved after a week, but I am afraid for my father. His one lung was punctured in a accident and he have liver problem. If he get the virus, he won't survive. :(

I am in different continent and can't do anything to help my family. If I travel, I would be putting them in more risk.

This variant of virus, is more contagious and have high mortality rate compared to last year.

Why did it spread so much?

Election Rallies and Kumbhmela

At the first sign of trouble for India they started confiscating vaccines researched, bought, and paid for by the UK.

From the article linked within your article

"A deal was done with India to supply 10 million doses. But it was always made clear the exact date of shipment could not be absolutely guaranteed."

I'm sorry did you put that comment for yourself as a reminder?
