Dear MEL Topic Readers,
India Coronavirus
A nurse’s story of fighting the virus
Each day, India added hundreds of thousands of Covid infections. Hospitals are overwhelmed by desperate patients whose lives are in danger. Recently, younger people have been infected and carried to hospitals where there are no available beds, medical supplies, or oxygen. Medical workers are under extreme stress with not only the long hours they have to work for but also the helplessness and hopelessness they feel. Still, they are trying their best to save lives. Here is a story told by a head nurse in a hospital in Delhi.

Round-the-clock mass cremations
Despite their effort, thousands of people are dying as oxygen supplies run low and hospitals are overwhelmed by the sheer number of patients. When those patients breathed the last time, their bodies need to be cremated with respect as it is the most important part of the funeral rites for Hindus. But as the death toll continues to rise, cremation sites are overflooded by bodies from all over the place. Families have to wait and even help carry wood to burn their loved ones.
