Published Sunday, April 25, 2021 6:40AM EDT NEW DELHI India s medical oxygen shortage has become so dire that a Sikh house of worship began offering free breathing sessions with shared tanks to COVID-19 patients waiting for a hospital bed. They arrive in their cars, on foot or in three-wheeled taxis, desperate for a mask and tube attached to the precious oxygen tanks outside the gurdwara in a neighbourhood outside the capital, New Delhi. After having largely tamed the virus last year, India is in the throes of the world s worst coronavirus surge and many of the country s hospitals are struggling to cope with shortages of beds, medicines and oxygen.
