Maharashtra में Corona की तीसरी लहर से तबाही का अलर्ट जारी

#Omicron - No lessons learnt from earlier disaster in April 2021 !

#Omicron - Less than 100 cases a day to 2716 cases on the 1st day of January 2022, i.e. 27 times increase in just 12 days. In case the same pattern continues, Delhi may be on the verge of a big disaster by mid-January.


In case we start getting a Lakh of cases a day and in case a mere 2% require a ventilator, our Hospitals in Delhi will fail to provide it to the patients, as Delhi has only 1380 ventilators, all-inclusive, i.e. both Government & Private hospitals.


Why nothing is done to enhance the ventilator's capacity is surprising. In April, May 2021, we had lost almost 35K persons in this city, for lack of Beds, Ventilators, Oxygen & so on. In spite of facing a big Disaster, just a few months back, seems no lessons are learned by our Elected representatives.


Shockingly, India got 22875 cases in the last 24 hours with over 400 deaths in a single day. The situation has started worsening all over the country, though a few pockets, such as Delhi & Mumbai have become critical.

              

Delhi is definitely moving towards a BIG DISASTER in the next few days, in case we fail to take stricter measures to save the city. Besides, Delhi Government must arrange sufficient medical facilities, so that no life is lost in the absence of any of the utilities.

#Omicron #Coronavirus - Let's hope it remains Mild & Vaccination works !


Delta and Omicron are now twin threats driving up cases to record numbers, leading to spikes in hospitalization and deaths,” Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director-general, said at a news conference in Geneva.

A total of 512,553 new cases and 1,762 new deaths were reported across the USA on Monday. Over the past week, nearly 1,660,000 new cases and over 10,000 new deaths were added to the tally, according to Johns Hopkins University.

WHO chief warns #Omicron, Delta forming ‘tsunami’ of COVID cases: Surging COVID-19 cases could put ‘immense pressure on exhausted health workers and health systems’, Tedros says.

The situation is Grim & in the Next few days, we will be facing the severity of Omicron in our city. In the absence of sufficient health facilities, Govt has no other option but to close everything. Strange, they did nothing after the 2nd wave in the month of April, May & today on our entry in the new year, we are nowhere so far as the Medical facilities are concerned. 

Be prepared for almost everything that we faced in April this year, as the Tsunami of cases amidst over 2-3 Crores of Population will lead to a TABAHI again. Let's hope it remains Mild & Vaccination works.

#Omicron Variant of #Coronavirus is now spreading all over the world !

During the week 20-26 December, following a gradual increase since October, the global number of new COVID-19 cases increased by 11% as compared to the previous week; while the number of new deaths remained similar to the numbers reported during the previous week. This corresponds to just under 5 million new cases and over 44 000 new deaths. As of 26 December, over 278 million cases and just under 5.4 million deaths have been reported globally.

The highest numbers of new cases were reported from the United States of America (1 185 653 new cases; 34% increase), the United Kingdom (611 864 new cases; 20% increase), France (504 642 new cases; 41% increase); Italy (257 579 new cases; 62% increase) and Germany (197 845 new cases; 30% decrease).

In spite of the best medical facilities, in the Last 7 days, Europe got 28,42,375 new cases, with 23,900 deaths. Similarly, in the last 7 days, America got 14,76,724 new cases, with 12,782 deaths.

Just think of our own country, India, where we don't have sufficient medical facilities. A day before, our PM announced that we have arranged almost 5 Lakh Oxygen beds & 1.40 Lakh ICU beds, which look nowhere, in case we get the Community spread of #Omicron variant of #coronavirus which is much more infectious comparing the earlier variant during the 2nd wave.

Similarly, the National Capital with over 2 Crore official Population ( though much higher in reality), has only 1,382 Ventilators & in case, even 1% of the infections require it, we may end our journey at some mortuary, as its being said that Delhi may get up to 1 lakh cases a day, during its peak.

Therefore, we have no other option, but to wear a Mask, keep maintaining Social Distancing, Get Vaccinated, if not yet, and leave the rest to the God Almighty.
