Do you guys still need oxygen there? How is the situation there really? India is the largest producer of Oxygen and vaccine in the world! Despite this, we are facing a shortage of both. Then how did we get in to such a situation? The reason is the complete apathy of the government in planning and preparation. While we are the largest producers of Oxygen in the world, we only have 2000 trucks to transport them. Failure to plan and improve the logistics is one of the reason why all are hospitals are now facing Oxygen scarcity, even though we have a surplus of it! The second reason is failure to upgrade existing infrastructure in hospitals. According to an opposition leader, we exported 60 million vaccines between January and March of this year, while we had only vaccinated around 30 to 40 million of our own people! Our vaccine plans also hit a hurdle when a US vaccine by Novavax, that has been licensed for production in India, is facing hurdles of getting the raw material for the vaccine from US (that has obviously prioritized it for its own needs). According to the same opposition leader, we also exported around 1.1 million doses of Remdesivir to other countries. And our media is showing people desperate to buy Remdesivir from anywhere at any price. In between all this, the government permitted huge gatherings of people in election rallies and religious occasions. Summary: We had all the resources. But apathy and poor planning screwed up India's fight against COVID.
