Our petition has asked the State of #Goa to acknowledge and solve the following: 1. Share where are 200 ventilators that were purchased from PM CARES funds being occupied, & since there's a shortage despite that, share the steps to fix it. 2. Make beds availability public.
Not only tell people beds are available, but also specify what types of beds - oxygen, ICU, ventilator, or COVID Care? 3. Acknowledge the crunch of Oxygen, regulators, and even oximeters (that are missing from govt home quarantine kits now). Share the plan of action to fix this.
4. Acknowledge or counter if the hospitals are running out of staff, as increasing beds means nothing if there isn't enough personnel to attend to the patients. How does State plan to fix this issue? 5. Delayed testing & plan of action to fix. Currently, RT PCR takes 5-6 days.
6. Cap the pricing of tests. Begin compulsory negative test report for tourists coming to Goa. 7. Make provisions for home testing through govt PHCs. 8. Considering setting up a facility to help the elderly - delivering home quarantine kits, providing ambulance, etc.
9. Importantly - Share what can volunteer networks in the State do to help the State.

We are in a crazy pandemic and youngsters have been caught off-guard. Here are a few things you need to know NOW! Listed them down in the video thread below. (Bits because Twitter allows only 140 seconds) Full video is on my Instagram: shrutichaturvedii.
Urgent: Can anyone from Uttar Pradesh help me find number of any govt doctor (pediatrician/ortho) at any PHC/CHC in Susain gaanv, Nasirpur Jilla, Hathras?
This is 8 year old Sonam, daughter of daily wage labourers, who has fractured her thigh bone & infection is spreading.
Any contact with Sarpanch or anyone else is also ok. Uncha gaon, Susain Nasirpur Jilla, Hathras.
Have arranged a vehicle to take the girl for checkup & consultation. Kahan lekar jaana hai woh nahi pata chal raha.
If you haven't got it yet: 1. Avoid catching the virus. Wear mask, etc you know the drill.
2. Instead of kadha & random churans, eat very nutritious food according to your body's req. Have multivits if you need. 3. Workout. Do yoga, strength training, breathing exercises
I had switched to a healthy lifestyle just a few months before I caught the infection. Thanks to that, my body dealt with the virus very effortlessly, despite lot of worries by others since I have v bad bronchitis + had very high BP (hypertensive) regularly at that point.
If #SachinVaze, Singh & Deshmukh nexus is shocking to you, here's something from #Gujarat that's going unnoticed in national conversation. Please read this:
▪️A Dalit activist #AmrabhaiBoricha was murdered in a village nr Bhavnagar by Kshatriyas, who had usurped Amrabhai's land
▪️The accused attacked him with swords, spears and rods, killing him infront of his 25 year old daughter & policemen.
▪️Before this attack, he was attacked 13 times by the same people, once breaking his legs. He had requested local police about the threats but was ignored.
▪️It has been 20 days since his death. The PSI who didn't file a single FIR when Amrabhai complained of the threats, is suspended but still free.
▪️ Independent MLA @jigneshmevani80 demanded his arrest in Gujarat Assembly twice, and he was suspended on both the days for this.
Thread: A personal episode from the past that I feel is very relevant to be shared today, especially for parents of young girls.
I was 18, when my first cousin morphed my face with that of a male school friend in extremely compromising position.
Very believable for anyone without knowledge of tech.
I was devastated. This was a brother I looked upto. This was the brother I had given my laptop to so he could apply for jobs. And on the same laptop, he made those photographs of me, his younger sister.
Why did he do that? He was kicked out of his house by his family after he married a girl w/o their consent. He was homeless, so my parents let him stay with us till my his family cools down & accepts them back. After 6 months, he felt threatened he'd be asked to leave our place.
