Still Grim COVID-19 Situation in India

-

It looks like that there is a slight reduction in the numbers of COVID-19 patients in India due to lockdown and social distancing, but how accurate it is, nothing is known. There are millions of people who do not even know whether they are infected or not? Millions of people in rural India do not have access to testing. They are not going to the doctors only because health and medical services almost collapsed. The condition of hospitals is that wealthy businessmen and women, retired defence personals, retired ambassadors, well-known film stars and even families of civil servants and political leaders are dying in waiting for hospitalisation.

Regrettably, people are dying due to a lack of oxygen, and at the same time, black marketing of oxygen cylinders is happening. 

Indian health services providers and experts need to draw strategies and initiate stricter, science guided mitigation steps to curb the spread of COVID-19 and ensure accurate reporting of COVID-19 cases and deaths.

People who can pay any cost in getting a bed in a hospital are also crying. Those accustomed to living lavish lifestyle are also lying in the verandahs of the hospital. Thousands of people cannot get admission in hospitals, saving their lives by taking oxygen lying in their car or on a handcart. It is regrettable that in these challenging times, black marketing medicines and oxygen happening across the country.  

Countries worldwide and Indian Diaspora from Europe and America are sending millions of dollars of COVID aid to India. Perhaps, the government is claiming that there is no shortage of oxygen, medicine or medical facilities, then why there is such chaos and mismanagement? 

The disease is sweeping from cities to villages, and another Mucormycosis, a rare infection spreading in COVID patients making another difficulty. The health experts believe that mucormycosis has an overall mortality rate of 50%.  

The current and historical mortality data, including age, gender, rural vs urban, and comorbidities on COVID-19-related severity data at different time points, are necessary to understand the transmission and clinical dynamics of the virus. 

Data must be available in real-time for researchers to analyse and understand infection pathogenesis. A long-term strategy for monitoring COVID-19 infection is required to support the affected patients and guide plans for pandemic control. 

Our experts know how to control SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The current situation in India requires urgent, bold measures and close cooperation between India and the global community to mitigate further damage.

Telephone Consumers in Ireland are Vulnerable for Cramming (Unauthorized, Misleading, or Deceptive Charges Placed on Your Telephone Bill)

-

The consumer gets crammed when a dishonest company puts charges on their phone bill (landline or mobile phone) for services that were not wanted or authorized by the customer.   Cramming has been around for more than a decade—ever since phone companies were allowed to make extra money by billing for other companies. Until recently, the phenomenon had been mostly limited. These days this scam is a growing problem for phone customers in Ireland.  More alarmingly, a study in the United States of America found that only 1 in 20 cramming victims realize they’ve scammed. That’s because the crammers are clever. They know how to make their illegal fees easy to miss by consumers. They keep the amounts small and list them on the bill as something innocuous, such as monthly charge or service fee. People don’t see it, and if they do see it, they don’t pay attention. It is estimated that in Ireland it is amounting millions of Euro every Month. Recently I have found in my m...

Indian and Chinese Conflicts Leading Towards War

The Chinese have continuously deceived India in the name of peace and trade. In times of crisis, the Chinese government and its military have succeeded in instilling a false sense of trust in the Indian government and its agencies because of Indian desire to settle the matters peacefully. Whenever the Chinese government engaged in any negotiations with India, they were also scheming to seize Indian territories and, it has not only proven with India but also in case of Tibet and all other neighbouring countries of China. We can see in past and present all Chinese actions in a way a conspiracy towards India.  Whenever the Chinese government engaged in any negotiations with India, they were also scheming to seize Indian territories Sadly, Tibetans believed in India as they have chosen India for their guidance and protection of their cultural and territorial integrity, perhaps, India successfully protected their cultural and traditional values but have failed to free them from the clut...
