      What's happening in India now is prima facie evidence of what this virus can do to a susceptible population when there is premature breakdown of social distancing and universal masks. (Rise of variants doesn't help this cause either). Vaccinate first. Relax next.pic.twitter.com/9j6dniriMg

      At this point we need to do everything possible to get the number of cases down dramatically and reduce the loss of life.https://twitter.com/VincentRK/status/1388459088330248195 …

      I'm convinced India needs a nationwide shelter-in-place order to minimize devastating loss of life from COVID. This must be implemented with adequate support to the poor. Agree with this article in @scroll_in @Lakshmi_RKG https://scroll.in/article/993572/covid-19-crisis-india-urgently-needs-a-nationwide-shelter-at-home-directive-but-a-humane-one … Thread 1/

      This is so terrible. Emotionally, I'm finding it very hard to wrap my mind around what that curve means, because intellectually, we know what it means even in the most well-resourced countries, even if we flew in all the vaccines tomorrow. What a catastrophe. I'm so sorry.

      It's unimaginable. India is showing the true of face of what uncontrolled COVID is capable of doing. So many young people are dying because hospitals are overwhelmed. It's extremely tragic when we lose people who could have been easily saved with just oxygen and dexamethasone.

          Yeah. We are about to find out the fatality rate for this pathogen outside of medical care and it's just so heartbreaking that I can't even think about it clearly, especially knowing how much is already horrifically baked-in. I don't know what to say honestly, just I'm so sorry.

          We ignored basic questions about the methodology of seroprevalence studies in a country as diverse as india and were lulled into complacency by conclusions that we had some exceptional immunity. Its spread uncontrolled, the virus is behaving as predicted.

          This is my worry with my country Nigeria and Africa in general. Because we didn't experience high mortalities from the virus, people have this exact view, refuse to get vaccinated and ignored masks and social distancing. We don't even have good healthcare capable of collapsing
