By the time I'm out of observation it'll have been over 4 hours to get vaccinated.
Some tips
Carry a small umbrella. If a hospital has supplies there will be long lines. Mostly on the road or in unsheltered compounds. It's hot. I reached before 9 and stood in line till noon.
Carry a water bottle. Maybe even a sandwich or some dry fruit if you have senior citizens with you.
Many hospitals are providing wheelchairs for the aged but obviously in limited quantity.
Light clothing, face wipes, hand sanitizer will help you keep your sanity in the sun.
I had to visit two hospitals before a family friend alerted that the hospital she was in had vaccine supplies.
So network with friends and family as the supply situation is very fluid.
The Rs 97,000 crore twist in #GST Compensation Cess Case
The constitutional amendment states that compensation shall be provided to the States
"...for loss of revenue on account of implementation of the goods and services tax..."
The centre has interpreted this narrowly...
The centre estimates Rs 3 lakh crore payable to the states as compensation this fiscal.
Due to low tax revenue collection it expects to face a compensation cess shortfall of Rs 2.35 lakh crore.
But it attributes most of this to Covid and claims the loss due "implementation of GST" (see constitutional amendment in first tweet) is only Rs 97,000 crore.
It computed this based on previous shortfall data.
