COVID-19 Second wave Devastating India: Reasons Discussed

COVID-19 second wave in India spreading supersonically

The giant COVID-19 second wave hits India vigorously. The total number of confirmed cases in India is running near 21 Million. The country is scuffling with this second wave pandemic, creating more fears about its overawed country’s health care system.

The foggy fear about the Virus is dragging the crowd to the hospitals which are overfilled.  Deaths too rose due to an insufficient supply of oxygen to the needy. As result families are waiting as crowdie for the funerals to perform cremations.

Heart-breaking stories are happening in front of hospitals across India as this Second wave wreaks havoc.

An auto driver fought with COVID and finally reached the final halt of breath. The 4 days before when they suspected the virus, the driver was in home isolation and 2 days later oxygen saturation level dropped, and facing severe problems while breath intake.

As his wife informed the COVID care center, the staff was failed to provide the ambulance facility. The very next day his wife took him to hospital in his own Auto, but the hospital staff refused to admit him in the hospital. The oxygen supply and well-equipped bed deficiency is the reason that the hospital management has shown.

After a long argument, they agreed to admit him, but he died a few minutes before. The wife asking them, who pays for his life? But, Sorry is the effortless answer she got. “His Life Subsistence rehashed as the Cart of his Final Journey”.

Although death rates in India are very low as compared, researchers warn that the COVID-19 second wave will be more terrific and deadlier.

Let’s find why the rise of cases in the COVID-19 second wave trembling India. Let’s compare this with last year.

Gigantic rise in cases Trembling due to COVID-19 second wave 

The increase in the number of cases has been rapidly rose compare to last year.

On 22 March 2020, 1, 24,525 total cases confirmed and active infections are near to 69,000, whereas 51,666 recovered in India.

Now in this COVID-19 second wave crisis, India confirmed 1.76 million cases, active infections are near to 15 million and 198k deaths are recognized. Within the span of a fortnight the cases rose is very sharp on an average from 89,000 daily cases to 2, 00,000 daily cases are notified across India.

This six-figure daily addition of cases leads to crowdedness in front of hospitals and cremation centers.

Huge religious gatherings and grand weddings, the Reopening of Malls and theaters cause this COVID-19 second wave’s rapid spread, experts say. Election rallies, farmers’ protests, and Kumbh Mela are also reasons behind this crucial pandemic.

COVID-19 second wave in peaks because People abandon Protocols

Some experts say “We didn’t learn any powerful lessons from the first phase of coronavirus. So that people now ignoring the least preventions as regular sanitation, Mask and Social Distance. This is the main reason for the spread of infections across India”.

The strict lockdown that was enforced last year limited down the spread of coronavirus In India. The government took a forward step and distributed free ration to the eligible people. The protocols are given by the Honorable Prime Minister like “JAANATHA curfew”, a complete shutdown of travels and needs lead to control the COVID 19 pandemic.

According to the financial crisis that hit India extremely during the previous Lockdown, the Indian government is not ready to announce a complete lockdown now. So that our citizens neglecting COVID – 19 protocols, roaming without mask instead of wearing it and the social distance of two meters was reduced to less than two inches.

Cops started charging penalties for not wearing masks, some people wearing masks to escape from this and neglect to maintain sanitation. As Indians are breaking these protocols now, so Corona strengthening its virus chain.

 The dearth of Beds in Hospitals

Crowdies Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Ahmadabad, and Hyderabad are facing a chronic dearth of beds in hospitals. The posts on social media about the shortage of equipped beds got viral and strengthen this issue.

Many state governments requesting union ministries to release funds for providing well-equipped beds and additional COVID care centers. Day by day the spike in confirmed infections increased, which leads to rising of patients in the hospital.

Last year many people undergone to home isolation, patients who are suffering from severe oxygen level drop are only allowed to admit to the hospital. This Year, Spreading fault news through social media is dragging people to hospitals.

People without having oxygen saturation drop are also getting admitted to hospitals by using political influence. It causes a shortage of beds in clinics and COVID care centers in India. This is the main reason in rising in the death rate.

Oxygen Crisis plays a crucial part in COVID-19 Second wave

Metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmadabad, Bangalore, and Hyderabad facing the severe downfall of oxygen supply to the hospitals. This oxygen supply is necessary for the patients who had the flow of oxygen less than 90. This battle of breath arises due to an insufficient supply of oxygen.

Several sickens died with coronavirus due to excessive waiting for oxygen supply. Hospitals are also struggling to provide accommodations to numerous patients. The crowd in front of hospitals is also a cause of the spreading of the virus.

For the sharp rise in oxygen supply government welcoming a bid for new oxygen plants last October in India. Few of them got permission and started supplying. This huge COVID-19 second wave crisis hit India suddenly, so the unplanned experts facing difficulties in this issue.

The researchers also stated that variants are the reason for this COVID-19 second wave; this was too late to identify the mutants. The fastness of spread in the second wave is thrice as the first wave that is the main reason to face difficulty in handling the current situation in India.

As British and other countries suspected “strain features” in new coronavirus samples, India suspected “double mutant”. Virologists said this double mutant is stronger and identified in 30-40 percent of the latest tested samples in India.

The symptoms of ‘strain’ and ‘double mutant’ are different, so some patients are getting negative in their reports and later they severely suffered from the virus symptoms. If they went for tests again then accurate results will be out. Some people lost their lives in between this delay.

In late March, NCDC (National Center for Disease Control) announced that the new variant has been suspected in the saliva collected from the patients of Delhi, Chhattisgarh. Later it is named ‘double mutant’ and started speediness in testing. This will be helpful in suspecting infection confirmations.

However, it will never too late to take strong measures for controlling the wider spread of this virus. “Strict protocols, creating awareness in the public may control this giant spread of the COVID-19 second wave. If we do these India will succeed in reducing the cases numbers”.
