Ankur Chandra, 38, talks about his father s experience with COVID-19, during an interview Tuesday, April 27, 2021, in New York. The New York-based consultant s father is now recovering from COVID-19, alone in an apartment in Gurugram.

Sometimes it comes in a barrage of WhatsApp messages first thing in the morning, and sometimes it lands in the middle of the night, as it did for Mohini Gadré s father.
