https://www.afinalwarning.com/515239.html (Natural News) Hospitals all over India are struggling to get more oxygen for their Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) patients as supplies continue to dwindle in the country.
Normally, about five percent of hospital inpatients in India require oxygen support. But these days, the majority of hospitalized COVID-19 patients need oxygen. This has put a strain on the country’s complex logistics network, which was not strengthened when the coronavirus pandemic began in India last year.
Inox Air Products, a supplier of industrial gases and oxygen, estimated that before the pandemic India’s demand for medical oxygen was around 700 tons per day. During the first wave last year, demand rose to 2,800 tons. Now, it has soared past 5,000 tons.

Times of India reported that officials in many states are concerned that they will not have enough doses to get the new vaccination drive started.
The health minister said the government was doing all it could to remove restrictions on supplying vaccines to individual states and territories. While the dreaded disease is spreading like a tsunami, it was critical to ease the controls and allow a free hand to the state governments as well as the private sector. Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we decided to ease the vaccination policy norms, Vardhan said in a blog post shared by the Health Ministry.
