There are more than 300,000 new cases in 24 hours! The hospital is so overcrowded that two or three patients only use one bed! There is a serious shortage of medical oxygen, and residents queue up overnight to buy oxygen to keep their loved ones alive! Crematoriums are overloaded, corpses are burned on the roadside, and even firewood is in short supply! In India, a country with a population of 1.3 billion, the epidemic is gradually getting out of control, like a purgatory on earth!
In the past few days at the end of April, the epidemic in India continued to worsen. Since the 23rd, India’s daily new cases of COVID-19 have exceeded 300,000. In just three days, the number of infected patients exceeded 1 million.
This "tsunami-like" epidemic in India has shaken India. Why did the epidemic in India get out of control? To what extent will the epidemic eventually develop? What should we do in the face of the epidemic in India? 1. Reasons why the epidemic in India is out of control
The epidemic in India has exploded by orders of magnitude in a short period of time. The main reasons are as follows: (1) Loose epidemic prevention measures
Since March, with the As the global epidemic situation eases, India's domestic implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures such as wearing masks and maintaining social distance has declined. From the government to the citizens, they all misjudged the epidemic situation and were blindly optimistic, which led to lax epidemic prevention measures. This was the fundamental reason for the outbreak.
Many people in India have no scientific understanding of the epidemic, and some people even use some taken-for-granted methods to "deal with" the new coronavirus: fumigating the virus with steam, smearing cow dung on the body, drinking cow urine to detoxify... ....
Without scientific understanding, it is impossible to achieve recognition of epidemic prevention and control, and it becomes a passive coping errand. (2) Vaccination issues
On the one hand, India has not independently developed a vaccine, and the vaccine currently used is purchased from the United Kingdom. India, with a population of 1.3 billion, has no vaccine developed by itself, and the vaccine bought from the UK is not very effective. It is even reported that a doctor was sent to the intensive care unit after being vaccinated in the morning.
Although India has a strong ability to imitate drugs, it is unable to carry out large-scale imitation because the raw materials for vaccine production are restricted from export by Western countries.
In addition, India’s work efficiency is very low. According to expert estimates, it will take at least 12 years for India to complete universal vaccination! At that time, I didn’t know how far the new coronavirus had evolved! (3) Large-scale gatherings of people
The most direct reason for the outbreak of the epidemic in India is large-scale gatherings of people!
Starting from late March 2021, India will usher in the "Kumbh Mela" held every 12 years.
The "Kumbh Mela" is the largest religious gathering in the world and one of the most attended festivals in the world. Every festival, more than millions of Hindu believers from all over the country rush to the confluence of the two holy rivers, the Ganges and the Yamuna, to bathe and purify themselves. They firmly believe that bathing in the Kumbh Mela can wash away their sins. Get happiness.
The Kumbh Mela usually lasts for more than a month, and the number of participants in recent times has exceeded 100 million! During the festival, tens of thousands of people bathe in the Ganges River together, and some even drink the Ganges water directly!
Although India has established the Kumbh Mela Management Committee and sent millions of masks to the people, it is only a formal prevention and control, and no real measures have been implemented at all.
The Indian media publicly reported on April 16: In the 10 days from April 5 to 15, 68 people among the high priests who presided over the Kumbh Mela alone were infected with the new crown! At present, the Kumbh Mela is not over yet. Once it is over and people return to all parts of the country, the spread of the disease will be unimaginable! 2. Development Trend
Judging from the current situation, the development situation of the epidemic in India is not very optimistic. If effective measures are not taken to deal with it, the consequences may be disastrous.
On the one hand, judging from the current situation, the number of new cases in India in a single day is close to 400,000! Medical resources are about to be exhausted, and there is a serious shortage of medical equipment, especially feeding equipment. Some people even queued up overnight to buy oxygen bottles at high prices. The number of deaths every day is also increasing rapidly, and the crematoriums are obviously not enough. In some places, cremations are even conducted directly on the roadside.
The epidemic is so serious that the Indian government must take the initiative. Such a passive response will only lead to a complete collapse, and eventually there may be a terrifying situation of national shutdown and complete collapse.
On the other hand, the international community will certainly not sit idly by as India's situation worsens. After all, in the era of globalization, countries are too closely connected. Once India collapses, it will inevitably have a great impact on the world, and even cause a disaster to the world.
In the end, the worst result is that the epidemic in India is completely out of control and spreads around the world. This situation is the most terrifying and no one wants to see this result. 3. Crisis response (1) India itself must attach great importance to epidemic prevention and control
The situation of each country is different, and as its own government, it must first pay great attention to it. The top priority is for India to immediately order a blockade of cities in the Ganges region to prevent the epidemic from spreading across the country. In addition, it is urgent to increase the construction of isolation hospitals and the purchase of medical supplies to ensure the working conditions of medical staff and the treatment conditions of patients.
In addition, strengthen publicity, strengthen epidemic prevention and control measures, and implement measures. Wear a mask, maintain social distance, and stay at home. These assignments can be copied carefully. (2) The United Nations needs to take certain assistance actions
In view of India's current situation, the United Nations needs to take certain intervention measures. It is also necessary to provide them with certain policy and technical guidance and allocate certain emergency relief materials.
After all, if a big country with a population of more than one billion completely collapses, the whole world will suffer along with it. From the perspective of stabilizing the world's security environment, it is reasonable for the United Nations to proactively respond.
(3) Put down your dignity and ask for help from neighboring countries
Observing India’s surrounding areas, various countries have done a good job in epidemic prevention and control and have accumulated a lot of experience. India is almost at the point of life and death at this time, so stop holding on to it.
Be soft and show goodwill to neighboring countries. As long as it is conducive to the control of the epidemic in your country, what can't you do?
Unfortunately, it seems that the Indian government has not really realized the seriousness of the problem. Even if neighboring countries offer to help, it seems unwilling to accept it!
For the sake of face, it seems that Li Zi can hardly save it!
(4) Guard the country and do your own thing
Although our domestic situation is stable and the economic recovery is accelerating, the epidemic in India is very serious, and we must not be careless and relax. If necessary, we can provide certain humanitarian assistance, but at the same time we must guard the country's borders and not allow the virus to cross the border.
We must take this out-of-control epidemic in India as a lesson, sum up experience, constantly improve our own epidemic prevention and control system, and strive to be more scientific and powerful!
Today, global epidemic prevention and control mainly depends on India, and India has become the main battlefield for epidemic prevention and control. The future situation is very serious. Where this wave of epidemic will eventually develop depends on India's own choice!
