One year had gone by. We thought that given India's population and crowding, that the number and severity of COVID was inexplicably low.
Well that part was true. But not because of a miracle or massive undercounting. It was sadly because the worst was yet to come. A crisis.

Either lockdowns and restrictions had worked really well, and once everything broke free after November, COVID did what it does.
Or
New dangerous mutants evolved.
Or
Both happened together.
End Result: The present crisis.

In this time of crisis & desperation, 2 problems must be dealt with simultaneously.
1) Care of patients with COVID in a sensible way that optimizes the use of scarce resources & minimizes loss of life
2) Reduce new cases by masking, distancing, & rapid vaccination
