I did pro bono work for two private hospitals in Delhi during the worst of the Second Wave. My sole task was helping the hospitals negotiate with the DHC supervised government mechanism for more oxygen. The fact was these hospitals got less Oxygen than needed. #OxygenAudit

The government officers, lawyers & amicus were exceedingly helpful but the fact was that there was not enough oxygen to go around. Everyday we were left scrambling for the next shipment of oxygen and thankfully for these hospitals it normally arrived in the nick of time.

Everyday, we would ask for more oxygen to be alloted and would have to wait till the Delhi Government was just informed what the expected supply for the NCT was for the day. Depending on how much oxygen Delhi got a chart for the division among major hospitals was prepared.

Even as a dreadful second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic ravages India, the AAP-led Delhi government is apparently under-reporting its daily death toll. Harrowing images of non-stop mass cremations in Delhi are being circulated online for the past few days.

Report says the Municipal Corporation of Delhi's data shows that 3,096 cremations, as per COVID-19 protocols, were conducted during April 18-24. But, as per the data released by the Delhi government, the total number of coronavirus-linked deaths during the said period was 1,938.
Hence, as many as 1,158 deaths may have never made it to official records. In fact, patients who die of COVID-19 at their homes are allegedly not included in the official records. A staff member at the Ghazipur Crematorium told a portal that the allegation holds true. #Delhi
The Delhi government on Monday announced that it would provide free COVID-19 vaccines to everyone above the age of 18. Earlier, Assam, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, among other states had announced free vaccination. #ArvindKejriwal #DelhiFightsCorona

"Today, we have given the approval for the purchase of 1.34 crore vaccine doses. We will make an effort to ensure that it is purchased soon and administered to people at the earliest,” said Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced in a video conference. #DelhiCovid #vaccine
"This is not the time to earn profits,” he added, while talking about the prices of the vaccines. To note, SII will sell doses to state governments at Rs. 400 each, while Bharat Biotech will sell doses at Rs. 600 each. #Covishield #Covaxin #CoronavirusPandemic #vaccinated #Delhi

Hospitals are flooded with patients and intensive care beds are filling up fast. People are struggling for beds. Even I cannot get a bed for my friends or family, it is so bad," @DrHarjitBhatti, a private hospital doctor, said. 2/10

My colleague, @BBCVikas, who went to admit a relative at a prominent private hospital last week, found there was a "waitlist" of 250 patients for Covid-19 beds. "It's worse than in the summer. It's insane." 3/10
