In April 2021, India began registering some of the highest numbers of Covid-19 cases in the world. When that happened, the demand for life-saving oxygen soared too. But India wasn’t able to keep up, adding avoidable deaths to a second wave of Covid-19 that has devastated the country. The oxygen shortage seemed to have caught India off guard. That made the news in this pandemic, but India has run out of oxygen before. So why does this keep happening?

This reminds me of “water water everywhere, but not a single drop to drink”
is this from the magnificent century?they said it even the game dying light i think
Bet the politicians told the oxygen deprived patients to "just breathe"
The rime of the ancient Mariner
@@hentanime4896 Lol a pretty influential person said " What's the matter, oxygen is everywhere around you and then they complain that they are dying due to lack of oxygen "( this guy is not a politician but does have political influence )
@@jessieacosta2833 "Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink" is from an ancient poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1798
I feel bad for the doctor’s distress about the lack of oxygen, it’s heartbreaking.

and then people in indai are BEATING them
Thank the weekend
People beat the doctors here in India. Karma hits back eventually.
Hopefully everything will be ok , love from bangaladesh🇧🇩
"People have died not because of coronavirus, but the failure of politics." that saying really hurts me.
No
People also died because of not following the rules.
Politics in a middle of the pandemic is a huge loss of life in a country and also a act of selfishness.
@@akshat3422 Which is also because of politics, the failure of the implementation of proper lockdown/quarantine. The government took it lightly, it was also seen in the video.
@@akshat3422 correct. Unfortunately in some countries the rules had more holes than a colander, see UK.

@@chelsealove1649
I won't say religion is a brainwash.
On a *mild* level, religion is a place to be better people and have a more charitable mindset.

Indian politicians would probably consider this video "an international conspiracy to defame India"
They are doing this since years! Whenever someone criticize them on international level, they call it international conspiracy to defame "India"
Very true

@Drkafir pagan is sad that gobar bhakts like you will belive anything the bjp says.. Chutiye sudar abhi..
Its because foreign media is not relying on Indian govt ads to run the channels. If the ads for govt schemes were cut by state and Union govt they need to cut fown their staff. The ruly party knows it.
Im from India and I just want to tell everyone here that the amount of work people in their teens to 30s have put in on social media is the reason why people were finally getting oxygen and the cases started decreasing.People were putting up countless stories and tweeting and making guides on how to get oxygen to people WHO WERE NOT EVEN IN THEIR STATE.Ofcourse this went unnoticed by mostly everyone but I wanted to put this out there.
As a spectator, I can confirm this.
When I was a covid +ve and had to admit my father in hospital and was taking care of my father.
I remember so many people between 20's and 30's were admitting their parents making calls to unknown people for ventilator, oxygen tanks, remedesivir injections,etc., When hospitals staff have raised their hands up that they cannot do anything.
Truly dreadful times but people helped each other out back in April and May.
Yeah lol, even i myself tried to arrange oxygen cylinders for friends and their relatives while the government officials was busy sleeping in their cozy bungalows and some of them were busy in public rallies gathering thousands of people for their personal gains..

Moral of the story: Politicians everywhere should stop playing politics and listen to the experts!!
Even in my country, Malaysia.
This is very true. Over here in the UK, a few politicians listened, but many didn’t. Even our Prime Minister was on a ventilator for a week.

Brazil: 1/2 MILION OF LIFES are the cost of politicians crime.
Fellow malaysian here, the politicians including mahathir useless asf
Another moral : Politicians everywhere should stop spending so much money on arms and spend more on health care!!
Politician have no accountability, most disheartening to me.
They'll have accountability when people start holding them on for their actions. Treating them to a God like stature will only come back to bite you in the end. Those whosoever run away from questions isn't fit to lead whether it be Modi, Shah, Yogi, Mamta, Thackeray or Sonia Gandhi.
@@user-xn2hc5it8q I think some states are holding the entire country backward ...by overpopulating and migrating to other states.
The government should be criticized for their mismanagement in oxygen supply and vaccine procurement. But the people of India are also to be blamed as most of them took off their masks and did not follow social distancing.
@@ashutoshsaraswat8350 The government had the opportunity to stop it but they let people roam freely because of the state elections. They opened things too early because they cared more about the economic prosperity of the giant corporations of our country than the people of India. In a country where illiteracy is rampant, you can't expect people to seriously follow rules on their own.

Yes. So many people dying each day and the struggle to save them leaves scars on the doctors' minds. Pity is, many of the lives would have been saved with an adequate oxygen supply. That is what he was begging on the footage. He was begging for a basic necessity of a hospital.
😣🤧
the pandemic should have been fought with science, not politics, it's heartbreaking to see the devastating effect this had on India :(
This is so true 🥺
Unfortunately, people who has power and authority to make policy about science researchs about this pandemic, are politician. You liked it or not, it needs political will and movement to fight this 'war'. This situation happened when greed corporates collides with corrupt politician.
think the actual problem is they just assume everybody is going to need oxygen. give these people a disney cartoon and they think it's the schematics for a quantum computer

A friend of mine is a businessman. One of his contacts in the industry said that many cylinders are out of commission due to poor quality control. Many have rust inside them or many have cracks due to the liquid oxygen reacting with the metal.

Actually this crisis in India could have been entirely avoided had the government acted when the cases were low. But they are so incompetent that they thought the low number of cases meant that the pandemic was over and Indians had some kind of exceptional immunity to COVID-19. India's Health Minister openly bragged about how the pandemic was in the 'end game' and was even endorsing pseudoscientific alternative medicines which was heavily criticized by the Indian Medical Association.

exactly
this is a common problem with radically nationalist and right parties , they will never blame based on actual studies and statistics.
You can see that in most places. Republicans here in the US love using those talking points. Especially for abortions for whatever reason, but they would not want to raise taxes to take care of those to be in need of resources. For some reason their religion stops at taxes.
Corruption is also smart. Indians are too religious.
Our prime minister shares his condolences to the people who lost loved ones due to the oxygen shortage yet continues to conduct crowded election campaigns that are spreading the virus even more. Just shows how much our government cares about their country's citizens. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters to them is getting those sweet votes.
There is a latest row, where the govt began to claim that no lives were lost due to oxygen shortages. It caused a big uproar.
They even caused deaths in Amritsar when Pakistan did say they could send oxygen tanks as they had extra and lives could’ve been saved in Punjab but Modi denied

@@nox6948 how
I'm an Indian and i could feel it in the air that the official reports are highly underreported. Just try to match the data from the crematory and the death that hospitals report. No one was able to get a place in a crematory, people were supposed to book a slot 3 days prior.
As an Indian that saw the ground reality of what happened during the past 3 months, here are what we think the main reasons are for the catastrophe that the second wave was-
1.The Kumbh Mela- One of the biggest human gatherings on earth, the Kumbh is one of the holiest festivals in the Hindu Calendar taking place every 4 years. In light of every other major festival being suspended, it came as a shock when the government (Hindu) allowed the mela to go on in full fledge. This was a super spreader that kickstarted the second wave
2. Bengal Elections- The WB General elections were supposed to be one of the most hotly contested political elections with the party ruling the center taking on one of the opposition strongholds. In this political fervour and enthusiasm, the Prime Minister lost the plot. Mass rallies and gatherings acted as another super spreader.
3. Illiteracy- Let's face it, while Indians happen to be some of the most intelligent people, the people in rural areas remain to be illiterate. This had two effects-
a-the people underestimated the virus. In fact, many people in villages and small towns refused to socially distance and wear masks
b-the people fail to see through the government's rhetoric. The people, charged with the enthusiasm of elections, flocked to the rallies. When the government gave absolutely ludicrous reasons for their covid mismanagement, the people ate it up.
4.Oxygen- The supply chain issue, as depicted by vox
5.Negligence- Imagine this, an airplane arrived at a military airport at Delhi to deliver oxygen to a hospital before it runs out in a mere 30 minutes. The driver has not slept much as he is running out of time. What happens at the airbase? The local leaders turn up to celebrate the arrival of the new oxygen. The celebrations take 30 minutes, leading to 4 deaths.
The saddest part, this is not made up, this actually happened.
6.Hoarding- There were reports of dealers who used to supply Oxygen to non medical small industries, of hoarding oxygen in their warehouses. Plus, reports of forgery of remedesivir doses etc worsened the situation.
Make no mistake, what happened here was no accident, it was cold blooded murder by the ones in power.
Wow, that story of local leaders delaying the delivery of desperately needed oxygen in order to use it as a political celebration is absolutely disgusting and depressing. Thanks for the explanation, though. I remember hearing stories of countries like India doing so well as local media criticized our government’s response to the pandemic here in Canada, when the third wave struck Indian so ferociously I was in shock, but I never really got a good explanation as to why things changed so drastically for the country. All these points really help put everything into perspective.
I paid Rs. 1,80,000 just for 10 days of oxygen before my cousin died..This is my 3 months salary. And around Rs. 1,20,000 for other stuff. I was left shattered financially and then my grandpa fell ill. I'm in a huge debt now.
I'll pray for you and your family
This is acha din for you

"don't ever underestimate the situation" and we, as people in India, learnt it the hard way. Whereas the govt is still the first to take credit of success even after the devastation that they let happen during the 2nd wave.
Corona Surge. Was a way of showing anger against us by KALI MAA DURGA. Kali is real as In Hinduism She has predicted all the eras.
In Hinduism Kali Teaches life lessons, and kills evil humans, and brings humans back to heaven if they have good Karma.I belive Kali is real as we are in the KaLI YUGA the last Era. And in hinduism 7,000 yrs ago It was mentioned the extinction of dinosaurs by Kali. And all eras placed properly even 7,00 years ago. And theres now ay 7,000 years ago they ahd any technology like that to detect this. So KALI is real.
MODI HAS ANGERED KALI
THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS FOR HIM LATER IN LIFE
Which is sad, because I recall US learnt the lesson the hard way back in March 2020 when they should have learnt the lesson in China. India should have learned the very same lesson from the US.

As a 12th class student, what pains me is that they didn't cancel the rallies, Kumbh Mela or even the IPL but had the audacity to cancel our boards. Now all the students are stuck at home with a future that looks nothing more than bleak.
recently government stated that no one died due to shortage of oxygen during 2nd wave covid.. lol..
infact my friend's brother died cuz of no oxygen available at hospital.. so we had to switch to other hospital..bt we were late..
the way gov lies truly amaze me
"The heart of the power is it's people, not it's rulers."
the most disgusting incident i experienced was ,when i went to hospital to admit my frd was "those oxygen cylinders are meant for rich people"
