...Foreign Ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi tweeted photos Tuesday of the first shipment of medical aid India received from Britain. It included 100 ventilators and 95 oxygen concentrators.
Other nations including the U.S., Germany, Israel and Pakistan have also promised medical aid. The countries have said they will supply oxygen, diagnostic tests, treatments, ventilators and protective gear to help India’s crisis, which World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called “beyond heartbreaking.”...
...France is sending breathing machines, ICU gear and eight oxygen generators in a shipment expected to be sent later this week. Each generator can equip a hospital of 250 beds for several years, French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said.
France will also send breathing machines, pumps and containers of liquid medical oxygen aimed at helping up to 10,000 patients per day, according to the French Foreign Ministry.
The White House was moving to share raw materials for the AstraZeneca vaccine by diverting some U.S. orders to the Serum Institute of India... the administration was working on other requests for personal protective equipment, tests and oxygen supplies...

Have some compassion for the people. Have you travelled in India? My heart breaks for this nation.
They need to be tested upon arrival.
Shouldn’t we test all that basic hygiene stuff in San Francisco and Los Angeles before we send it over to india?
It’s just the flu, bro.
am surprised Freepers haven’t checked the data for themselves.
India: #85 in the world for alleged covid deaths:
Statista: Covid deaths per million worldwide as at 27 April 2021
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1104709/coronavirus-deaths-worldwide-per-million-inhabitants/
India has less than 200,000 alleged covid deaths. if true, they are way behind dozens of other countries on a per capita basis. compared to US, India should have over 2 million deaths by now.
true, there are claims India is hiding the real numbers, but so are other countries, and that goes for exaggerating the numbers both up and down. the best the MSM were reporting today was that a Delhi crematorium stating approx 2,000 deaths one day was more likely 3,000-plus.
the FakeNewsMSM is merely using India as the BIG SCARE right now.
I heard BBC or Australian ABC recently say top 5 worst hit by covid are India/US/Brazil/France/Russia!!!
check the facts in the Statista link. you will never have heard of most of the worst hit countries on FakeNewsMSM.
and there was a very long delay before India got bad.
Why?
Bull shit. You lie. I actually have Indian clients and people are dying by the tens of thousands. The govt is not reporting the actual numbers.
India is lying about their death rates. It’s already past one million.
Govt stays for one day showed 28 people died from covid in one town but over 200 bodies were removed from a covid only hospital on the same day.
Indian govt are lying through theirvteeth
Ngos are calling out the death numbers as low. There are at least 100 articles on Google showing the real numbers.
Things were improving in India - until about a month or so ago when they started having massive political rallies (which are ironically still ongoing) plus the world’s largest religious festival (the Kumbh Mela).
You are either lying to FReepers, or your ‘Indian friends’ are lying to you.
Can also confirm that India is being hit very hard. My wife’s coworkers in India are painting a very grim picture.
Many businesses are moving from China to India I am quite sure the Chi Coms have deliberately spread this virus there a new strain undoubtedly India was doing so well it is very odd for this to be happening NOW!!!
Praying for India. A region just had an earthquake.
Beautiful country. God please be with its people, guide its leaders, doctors. Please bring forth Your miracles.
Please end this pandemic.
I am in Ahmedabad, India.
I am still recovering from the Chinavirus. At home. I did not need extra Oxygen but as a severe asthamatic, my doc started me on Remdesirvir as soon as the +ve report was received.
It is clear that the bug doing the rounds is extremely infectious. The caseloads are a factor of 10x to the govt reports as cases like mine are never counted because they are not reported. Unlike the US, we can see the doc of our choice and take the medicine we need.
The Death rate is NOT 10x but is defintely more than double the official number or even triple in some areas, because the deceased were never officially registered as Chinavirus infected.
There are some horror stories but nowhere near as many as the media reports. The media is out to get the PM because they sense he is vulnerable. They will be actually propelling him to bigger electoral victories. Ironically, it is the different elections in many states that are responsible for this round of infections. The PM has long been calling for simultaneous elections to all elected bodies to cut costs and reduce populist measures. Hopefully people will listen.
Thanks for your response and really glad you are getting better. Stay safe and stay strong. It is always great when someone on the ground responds. Be well FRiend.
They are liberally providing hca and ivermectin. And as I have said all along they are imperfect treatments. Look at India and tell me that these are “cures”. Then look at Israel who is a herd immunity because of vaccines and natural immunity and you can easily arrive at the proper conclusions.
320,000 cases in a country with almost 1.4 billion people.
