Is the oxygen generator adequately supplied? Why is the epidemic in India so serious this time? Why did the Indian medical system collapse in the first place? The shortage of medical staff, a large number of people infected, and medical resources quickly ran out, which led to the deterioration of the epidemic and spread throughout the country. We can find some answers from the published data. The second wave of epidemic in India is mainly manifested in the following points: rapid concentrated outbreak, rapid deterioration, rapid spread and obvious spillover effect. In addition, the government lacks public health measures, and township epidemic prevention requirements have not been strictly implemented, resulting in a large number of urban slums and villages becoming hotbeds of virus mutation. With the variation of COVID-19, the infectivity was enhanced, and April and May were large-scale gatherings of Indian folk traditions. People did not keep their distance and do personal protection, which accelerated the spread of the virus in India, and these factors also caused the rapid outbreak of the epidemic in the country.
The speed of concentrated outbreak and rapid spread of the epidemic has led to a surge in patients and impacted the Indian medical system. Medical resources such as beds and ventilators in India are seriously inadequate. In the hospital, many patients are lying in the corridors and stairs, and many patients are crowded into a bed. Because pneumonia needs oxygen, and oxygen in India is very limited, the black market in India has also got a bottle of oxygen for 600 dollars, which the poor simply can't afford. In the past month alone, the cumulative number of patients starved to death due to lack of oxygen cylinders in hospitals across India has reached hundreds.
Therefore, the Indian central government has taken various measures to temporarily change the nitrogen plant used for industrial production into an oxygen plant, set up a temporary COVID-19 patient care center around the oxygen plant, and even dispatched military warships and transport planes to buy oxygen abroad. Because the domestic oxygen generator can't meet the hospital supply 24 hours a day, the Indian government turned to the world for help and placed orders with oxygen generator manufacturers from all over the world. However, due to too many orders, it is completely beyond the affordability of foreign oxygen makers. While ensuring domestic use, foreign manufacturers' foreign production cannot meet India's demand, and many manufactured parts are out of stock. Although these measures make the oxygen generator obtained in India produce very high oxygen every day, it can only meet the needs of some people. It can be seen that the epidemic situation in India is imminent, facing the urgent medical situation in China, but these measures have no obvious effect on alleviating the current grim situation.
