India's tally of total infections is second only to the United States, with experts blaming everything from official complacency to aggressive variants. The government has blamed failure to practice physical distancing.
The country has been producing oxygen at full capacity for each of the last two days but will have to turn to imports, with the health ministry saying it was planning to import 50,000 metric tons.
"The situation is horrible," said Avinash Gawande, an official at a government hospital in the industrial city of Nagpur that was battling a flood of patients, as were hospitals in neighboring Gujarat state and New Delhi in the north.
"We are a 900-bed hospital, but there are about 60 patients waiting and we don't have space for them." Maharashtra, home to the financial capital of Mumbai, began a lockdown at midnight on Wednesday, a move that spurred a rush to stockpile essential items in advance. The state, the country's most industrial, has been the worst affected by the pandemic.
COVID-positive patients - from a one-and-a-half-year-old toddler to many elderly - and their relatives kept streaming in to the emergency ward at LNJP, arriving by ambulance, car or auto-rickshaw throughout the day.
"Last year also we have not seen such a bad situation. This time the number is very high and increasing very rapidly, going (at a) very fast speed, so the situation is really alarming," said LNJP Medical Director Suresh Kumar.

But I was told that if I allowed my mail-in ballot to be filled-in and my signature forged for Sleepy Joe, the pandemic would be controlled and I’d get $2,000. Are you saying I’m just a useful idiot?
China let the Djini out of the bottle. Good luck putting him back in now.
This is false information. India has hcq and ivermectin available so no one can get sick from covid. Come on man! /s
Well, check this out. India has a COVID dashboard, too. And look what it’s showing...
Meh.
correct
The virus isn’t acting normally at all. Hasn’t from the very start.
And don’t forget Joe said he would cure cancer.
Maybe if Jill shows up again looking like a cheap hooker, that might help?
It’s India. Enough said. Guess even the pollution there and filthy lifestyle was overcome by covid eventually.
On your link. It pays to do your homework, consider the source...

I don’t know what is happening in India. But giving any credence to a report in the Jerusalem Post is akin to believing what is reported in the Washington Post. Both are run by hard-core leftists. Both are propaganda outlets.
Be skeptical.
And this same thing happens every seasonal flu season there, doesn’t it? /s
Yet no flight ban, as with other countries.
I guess importing Indian H1B scumbags are more important than keeping this crap out of the US
China ban. Check
Italy ban. Check
South Korean ban. Check.
European ban. Check.
UK ban. Check.
Brazilian ban. check.
Indian ban. That’s racist.
Am I reading that right?
Physical Distancing in India is an oxymoron.

Do you happen to know if there is right-wing news source in Israel?
Dell tech support hit hardest.
But, Wait! Just a few months ago the news media said India had it’s Covid under control!
“I don’t know what is happening in India. But giving any credence to a report in the Jerusalem Post is akin to believing what is reported in the Washington Post.”
Every media outlet is reporting about the surge in India. Crematorium owners are saying the country is underreporting the true covid deaths. They say the true deaths are in the millions.
One guy is running his crematorium non stop 24/7.He said precovid he was doing 20 cremations per day-one shft. Now it’s 100 per shift x 3 shifts and the 16 other crematoriums in his town are the same way.
Every country has underreported covid deaths except the US
