Thread about covid in India:
Firstly thanks again to all who responded so kindly to my tweets about folk from our community in India dying of Covid. Of the 7, I only knew 2 well. The others I knew more distantly through close mutual friends. It brings home how dire it is now 2) the 7 who have died are the tip of a very large iceberg. There are many more currently struggling with covid and their families also.
I heard from someone who works in a big public hospital in Pune. There is only space for 1 in 4 covid cases to be admitted

The education minister @JohnSwinney acknowledges, apologises and rectifies it in a way that seems to work for most 2/5
