India s COVID-19 vaccine appointment system requires high-tech skills

On April 28, when the Narendra Modi–led Indian government opened up vaccine registrations for all adult citizens, 29-year-old Mousumi Chatterjee felt left out. The government said citizens should sign up on CoWIN, its COVID vaccine registration website, or download its coronavirus contact-tracing app, Aarogya Setu, on their phones. Vaccination slots would be made available on May 1. But Chatterjee, a domestic worker in Kolkata, has no idea what the CoWIN website and the Aarogya Setu app are. Her mobile and internet literacy are limited to making calls, exchanging messages on WhatsApp, and browsing Facebook: the latter two only because a salesperson at a mobile store downloaded the apps on her phone and changed the language setting to Bangla, the only one she can read.

Fewer tests in Telangana may lead to more COVID cases

Express News Service HYDERABAD: Telangana’s sudden decision to test fewer people may soon backfire and lead to a rise in infection as the State is now seeing a steady rise in its ‘R0’ or R Naught value this week. R0 value, in lay terms, is the number of people a Covid-19 positive person can infect. As per an analysis by epidemiologist Dr Giridhar R Babu from the Indian Institute for Public Health, Telangana’s R0 has increased to 1.55 in May 1 from 1.36 on April 30, and 1.47 on April 29. This is higher than national R0 value of 1.32. This implies that as on May 1, an infected person in Telangana is infecting at least 1.55 individuals.

Lacking oxygen, scores in India suffocate to death as COVID-19 infections reach record high Setting yet another grim record, India’s new COVID-19 infections surpassed 300,000 for the fifth day in a row yesterday. A further 352,991 cases were reported Monday, the highest single-day total ever recorded in India or, indeed, anywhere.

(AP Photo/Rafiq Maqbool) Officially, India’s active case count stands at more than 2.6 million, underscoring the potential for continued exponential growth in COVID-19 infections. This in a country where hundreds of millions live in squalid urban slums or in rural areas where public health facilities do not exist; and where in great metropolitan centres, like Mumbai and Delhi, the health care system has already been overwhelmed by the deluge of COVID-19 cases.
