In Mumbai oxygen flow was budgeted as 6 liters per minute per patient requiring oxygen support. It was lowered to 4.2 also when crisis came. So even without crisis it was 6 LPM.
I have done calculation using average flow of 10. With 5 LPM, 900 MTD is enough for 1.8 Lakh people
Now even Delhi is saying that with 370 they can meet majority of demand. Their allocation was already raised to 500+ They can’t store more than 478.
Why they hell were they asking for 900 MT per day? To create panic or to somehow turn people against center on #OxygenShortage
While Delhi refuses audit, Pune got audited and has managed to save 30 MTD using simple steps like stopping high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) when the patient is having food or when not in bed.
A narrative is being peddled that the #COVID19India crisis is due to these factors
1. Modi & Team claimed victory & did nothing 2. Modi allowed election rallies & #Kumbh which caused the #CoronaSecondWave 3. Now @narendramodi is not giving oxygen, medicines & vaccines to states
Let us see what facts can be ascertained by looking at the numbers.
On Feb 1, daily new cases in India had dropped to 85790. Two third of these new cases from the states of Maharastra & Kerala, blessed with best CM & best health minister in the country.
By 15th Feb, daily new cases had risen to 15614. Punjab joined Maharastra and Kerala in the top 3 states and they contributed 12,126 new cases. 78% of all new cases in the country
Kerala had seen high cases even in Dec-Jan period when rest of country was witnessing decline
Covid has hit our homes and we are very vocal. Rightly so.
But think how would they have handled a pandemic of this scale that requires a response where we need to increase resources by 5-10 times in months because doubling or tripling will be GOOD but not ENOUGH.
@sganesh181 I had earlier posted that #KumbhMela should have been closed for common people & only few sadhus of each Akhada should have been allowed with #COVID protocol.
But I did more research after reading many posts & articles blaming kumbh for current crisis.
@sganesh181 First of all most pictures being shared are fake. People are posting old Kumbh pictures to exaggerate their claims about crowds in #MahaKumbh2021
@Aabhas24 Iyas ibn Qabisah al-Ta'i I (from Tayy tribe) was the Sassanid governor of al-Hirah from 602 to 617. The Banu Bakr ibn Wa'il tribe opposed his rule which led to the Battle of Dhi Qar in 609, in which the Sassanids were defeated.
@Aabhas24 Tayy is an ancient Arab tribe. They helped Lakhmids rule Al-Hirah in the 610s. A chieftain & poet of this tribe, Hatim al-Ta'i, is widely known even today through stories (Qissa-e-Hatem-tai ) about his generosity. He lived in Ha'il (Saudi Arabia) & was mentioned in some Hadiths.
@Aabhas24 The Tayy's original homeland was Yemen but in the 2nd century, they migrated to the North Arabian mountain ranges of Jabal Aja and Jabal Salma (traditional homeland of the tribe even today). The two main branches of Tayy were Al al-Ghawth & Al Jadilah.
There are 28 sports tournaments/ trophies and 19 stadiums named after Nehru, Indira and Rajiv including highest sport award. Here is a list of cricket stadiums alone.
Punjab has about 10 Lakh farm families (All India 15 crores). State govt gives them an electricity subsidy of about Rs 8000 crore. Center gives them a fertilizer subsidy of Rs 5,000 crore. That is Rs 13000 crores or about Rs 1.3 Lakhs per household.
