Corona in India – here an error occurred

India has been around for a long time In the tsunami of Corona infection. The second wave in the country reached its peak in early May, and according to statistics, it is on its way down. However, there are still huge numbers of infections every day.

On Saturday, more than 165,000 new infections were recorded, and the previous day, the number was close to 174,000.

Large religious gatherings, reopening of public spaces and political gatherings were soon cited as the cause of the increase in infections in April. In particular, religious assembly is indicated; Kumbh Mela.

Ashish Jha, president of the School of Public Health at Brown University, has stated that the Kumbh Mela may have been “the largest widespread event in the history of the epidemic,” he wrote Watchman.

Earlier in May it sealed it as well BBC The festival as a super-popular event, cited reports of participants testing positive after returning home.

Epidemiologist Lillet Kant tells the British broadcaster that large groups of people without masks, singing by the river, have created an ideal environment for the virus to spread rapidly.

Millions of Hindu pilgrims traveled to swim in the Ganges River, and many of them returned home infected with the Coronavirus, according to the Guardian newspaper.

One of these was Gopal Singh from Vidisha district in Madhya Pradesh. He traveled with about 100 others from nearby villages. They were gathered on two buses, and they drove to the festival.

While there, he saw people getting sick, and on the way home, several of his companions complained of fever and diarrhea. He insisted on taking the coronation test upon his return, and after four days the result came back positive.

After their return from Kumbh, the cases increased to more than 30 in a few days, says Raju Raj Dangi, the leader of Singh Village.

Singh’s neighbor, who is a mother of two, eventually developed a fever. She was first treated by a local doctor, but was admitted to the intensive care unit when her oxygen level was dangerously low.

She died, and Singh says his conscience is really bad.

Our stubbornness and superstitious beliefs caused disaster.
