According to a report by World Wide Web on May 10, residents on the banks of the Ganges River in India woke up and found more than 40 corpses floating on the Ganges River. These corpses "crossed the ocean" and were washed by the river on the banks of the river, and there were many wild dogs wandering around. This strange scene immediately caused panic among the local people.
Dozens of corpses were found on the banks of the Yokogawa River.
According to a report from India's New Delhi TV station, in the junction of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, in the city of Chasha, in the early morning, local residents found more than 40 corpses from the Ganges River. floated over, and was piled ashore with the current.
A local official said that there were 40 to 50 corpses floating on the water. They looked like they had been thrown into the river. It was estimated that they had been soaked for 5 to 7 days and looked bloated. Others suggested that the total number of these bodies could reach at least 100.
According to reports, the local government believes the bodies are those of Covid-19 patients who have drifted from Uttar Pradesh. Many locals believe the river is sacred, perhaps their relatives threw their bodies into the river without finding a place to cremate or bury them.
The chief of the local police station also said that occasionally one or two corpses can be seen floating on the river. However, during the new crown epidemic , the number of corpses floating on the river suddenly increased greatly, which also shows the phenomenon that people died in large numbers due to the epidemic .
Out of fear of the new crown epidemic, a large number of corpses of suspected new crown patients emerged in the river, which immediately caused panic among the people. Some villagers said that nearby residents are worried about being infected with new coronavirus , because the corpses may pollute the river environment, and people must bury these corpses.
Crowds gather in New Delhi, oxygensupply restrictions
India's capital New Delhi announced the extension of the closure for the third time on the 9th. Local officials said that the closure measures were taken to ensure that the infection rate of new coronary pneumonia can continue to be reduced. The rate of new confirmed cases in New Delhi has dropped in recent days, but it should not be taken lightly.
According to CCTV news report on the 10th, although many places in India have taken measures to close the city, the relevant epidemic prevention measures have not been well implemented. In the week after New Delhi announced the closure of the city, the market was still crowded with people, and local residents did not maintain social distancing when they went shopping.
According to reports, with the worsening of the epidemic, the medical system is on the verge of collapse, and hospitals everywhere are extremely deficient in oxygen. Although the government began to order oxygen from overseas, it built an oxygen production plant and increased the domestic oxygen supply through various measures.
However, due to the current lack of road infrastructure in India, the traffic department has taken speed-limiting measures to ease the traffic pressure caused by large oxygen transport vehicles, and at the same time, it has also greatly hindered the timely delivery of oxygen.
Officials in the capital, New Delhi, said that although the oxygen supply in New Delhi has been eased to a certain extent, the actual distribution of oxygen still faces obstacles in terms of speed and efficiency, and some patients are still in a situation of anaerobic inhalation.
Governance failure is unprecedented, "ModiUnforgivable"
India's epidemic situation is getting worse, but now India has no unified vaccination plan and anti-epidemic policy, domestic and foreign condemnation of President Modi and his government is getting stronger.
Jha, a former Indian professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, posted on Twitter on the 9th, questioning the death data of the new crown pneumonia released by the Indian government, arguing that at least 25,000 people died of the new crown epidemic in India every day.
Subsequently, Nalan, an Indian professor of political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , commented: "This failure of governance is unprecedented" and emphasized that the Indian government should be responsible for the epidemic.
The Lancet, an international medical journal, published an article on the 8th saying that India wasted its previous success in controlling the new crown epidemic, and the Modi government led this "self-created national disaster", which is inexcusable.
