I'm in Delhi right now and its truly bad over here. My neighbor was sick and we literally couldn't find a hospital bed for him that had sufficient oxygen. The system is breaking down.

This is what they originally warned us about.




I know well connected people in Delhi who are advisors to the Health ministry and they are unable to find beds for their relatives. Things are truly fucked.


Yeah, have heard the same from friends - IAS officers are unable to find beds for their close family. Remdesivir is being sold at 20-50x retail price.


A colleague at my work from Hyderabad's cousin has it, I don't know how wealthy he is, but he got a bed yesterday in a "good" hospital, I guess there are some areas which are way more affected then others?


Luck and that anecdote doesn't make for information. I'm glad that person has a bed, but it doesn't tell me how people there are, possibly many, possibly none, in Hyderabad in need of a bed that can't get one.


A potential future head of our satellite office in Hyderabad has just lost his father. Just 57


Delhi/Gujarat/UP are worse than other places. It also seems connections are trumping wealth right now.


Kerala as well , not sure if they are trumping wealth here though
