Maynnnn, I was watching CNN interview a dude in India who was waiting outside a hospital for oxygen and his brother. He walks off after the interview and shakes his brothers shoulder and found out he had died. What's happening in India right now looks like Italy a year ago.
India's second wave seems to be because they got cocky with their Covid numbers going down (but not disappearing) and their gubment was on board with the mask optional, breathe in each others faces up close religious holidays and festivals.

I was on a zoom call this weekend where everybody was laughing at me because when Covid first hit the scene, I didn't take it seriously and now I out caution everybody. My take was I know plague history and the U.S. govt under sane presidents never let outside bugs get past infecting a hand full of people on American soil. We didn't have a sane president so here we are. My "wait...what?" moment was hospitals saying that if you get Covid don't bring your
here because we can't do nothing for you. Forget a black president, that's something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
Unfortunately, we are living in the making of plague history in a time where the plague isn't restricted to one spot on the globe which is why these mutations are worrisome. We also don't know what happens as a byproduct of the different ways countries are handling things. India is doing mass cremations of infected bodies. How does that affect air quality not only there but in neighboring countries? Yeah, we can go "well that's far away" but people get on planes everyday even during a plague.
I'm just rambling, watching that guy discover his brother was dead got to me.
