@HarisBaig16662 @HarrisRichard77 We started observing this trend at the end of last month when we saw that the number of patients requiring emergency treatment had declined from 1,800-2,000 to 600-700 a day,” a critical care specialist at the JPMC told The News.(8)
@HarisBaig16662 @HarrisRichard77 But the number of people who either were dead on arrival or died within a couple of hours after their arrival increased with every passing day. Initially, we didn’t pay any heed, but now we’re seeing a pattern. And this is also being reported by other hospitals,” he shared.(9)
@HarisBaig16662 @HarrisRichard77 The doctor added he started noticing the unusual pattern of DOA and near-death patients from March 31, when seven bodies were brought in—of which 1 death was due to a road accident—and seven other patients who were brought in alive died before they could be moved to the wards(10)
Centre's decision to cut salaries &pensions of MPs is welcome. It's a good way for us to show solidarity w/people suffering across the country. But the Ordinance ending MPLADS funds for 2 years &pooling them into a Consolidated Fund run by the CentralGovt is problematic: [contd.]
MPLADS is the only means for an MP to direct development resources to his constituency. An order to earmark all MPLAD spending for #COVID19 related measures would have been OK; I used mine to get urgently-needed #rapidtestkits & PPE to Thiruvananthapuram's health workers.[contd.]
MPLADS preserved the sense of direct responsibility for the well-being of constituents that is a hallmark of an Indian MP's work. Now the money will be allocated by the Centre &will follow the priorities&preferences of NewDelhi, rather than reflect 543 sets of local needs.[cntd.]
