#1 Demand Supply Gap
there is a sudden surge in demand for testing, beds, Oxygen, etc. Make no mistake crisis is real
#2 Panic due to scarcity
Panic driven by scarcity. Like a run on bank, remember #icicibank run in 2008 ?
#3 Precautionary Procurement
Patients get into panic driven precautionary engagement - especially beds, oxygen, medicines (Remdesivir etc)
#4 Amplification by panic
panic multiplies efforts. 1 person needing a bed puts word to 5 people - 5X beds are being sought for 1x need
#5 Black marketing thugs
Get into play to make money out of panic situation. Lots of bad elements hand in glove all over
#6 POLITICAL VULTURES KICK IN
International articles are written showcasing deaths, tragic situations, crematoria. Putting #India down.
#7 Useful Idiots' genuine outrage is leveraged by #Ecosystem to play politics.
A real crisis is being addressed by Govts but abused for cheap political purpose by opposition is disgusting.
Its not #India alone that has seen severe 2nd wave, whole world has seen in diff times
#8 Learnings
Contribute if you can,
support societal efforts
keep analysis for later time for constructive criticism
Keep the cheap politics out of this !
