      This is important. The fatality rate is not fixed, it's a function of medical care. The calamitous exponential growth in India combined with collapse of even basic resources is a humanitarian catastrophe. It's so horrible that I can't think clearly about it.https://twitter.com/VincentRK/status/1388494709824315401 …

      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.

      In February of 2020 (a lifetime ago) I got into pandemic writing, mostly just to say that the pandemic outcomes are not fixed. ("Flattening the curve" or even getting ready for mitigations wasn't yet in our mainstream vocabulary then, at least in the US). https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/preparing-for-coronavirus-to-strike-the-u-s/ …pic.twitter.com/Y2xYHhxsBu

      Intellectually, I see that epidemic curve and it's clear how much tragedy is already baked-in, and how urgent it is for us to act, now. Emotionally, I can't think straight about it. I can't even look at the curve without sheer horror, let alone the news stories or the pictures.😢

      I don't have much more to add to the urgent calls out there, for the world to act. We don't have the full causal picture yet, and there is a grave danger this catastrophic, exponential explosion in India will also occur in countries in the region also with low vaccination rates.

          Is there any good explanation of why this hasn't started in India before? Are the currently circulating there variants more deadly?

          That's what I can't figure out. How has India managed so long without this very outcome?

          Zeynep, my internet shows me content, including medical journal articles, about ivermectin and fluvoxamine as effective treatments for early stage Covid. But you don't mention them. Is my internet fritzed, or is something else going on?

          What can we do besides give money? How can we raise our voices more to ask for MORE help to go to India?

          Multiply all Indian official # by atleast 10-20x. It's a genocide of omission. Nepal is already popping from migrant labour returng bk home. Their Health Min. has officially kinda given up and thrown their hands up in the air citing not enough medical & hospital infrastructure

          We have no way to get our Pakistani family vaccinated. They's all do it, but there is no process or vaccines available. Meanwhile here in Hungary they JUST opened vaccines up to foreigners May 1 & today have an English language website. We're glad but had no clue it was coming
