3) I know the above increases are still not enough, seeing of COVID 2nd wave deaths, but at least see how improvements. Note, just increasing the devices is not enough. We also need Doctors, Nurses and lab technicians ramped up at a much higher scale. That's the real challenge!
4) One mistake India did was that between September and December of 2020, a lot of ramped up infrastructure was dismantled as the first wave receded. Big lesson learnt for the future.
Looking at all these, faster vaccination should be the highest priority.
