#Thread #COVIDSecondWave
Dire warning from Dr Darayus Gazder, a young doctor in #Karachi: Second wave is very strong, patients are highly critical and sick. We have a waiting list of over 10 per bed. People are dying/suffering alone w no one to say goodbye!
It's painful
1/n

Some deteriorate within minutes. Others who survive COVID have permanent severe #lung damage, can't eat a single meal w/o high flow oxygen, later die painfully as if #drowning once respiratory/cardiac muscles can't compensate as oxygen is depleted.

Educated people should take this seriously. But they are Instead throwing parties, weddings, going to sports events, malls, shopping, eating out with no precautions, even mocking the disease. This selfish behaviour must end as it endangers ALL age groups
- Dr Darayus Gazder 3/n

This carelessness also endangers children who post-COVID develop Multisystem inflammatory syndrome, *which is worse than adult onset #COVID*. Also #healthcare workers working in a burdened healthcare system!

If I could just post pictures of patients/attendants in guilt for having infected their families/relatives (The Fear) or deteriorating x-rays, it might shock the "educated" putting themselves and their enjoyment first during a hell of a pandemic.

We are in worse hell than before thanks to these so-called educated people.

Take this seriously, #Follow SOPs, #Stay safe, #Stop the spread #Help others in need
