This is why Harris’s lack of empathy on India cuts deep
29 Apr 2021
The Independent
As an Indian American, I was delighted to vote for Kamala Harris. My children call some of their aunts ‘chittis’. When Harris used that term in her speech accepting her nomination as the Democratic candidate for the vice presidency, my daughter looked wide-eyed. It was a rare moment of representation at the highest levels of government.
Now, as the world rushes to help India while it buckles under a catastrophic second wave of COVID, I see the limits of representation. The vice president’s silence hurts.
Indian American venture capitalist Vinod Khosla offered his financial support April 24 to hospitals in India who are struggling to secure oxygen supplies amid a deadly second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 2,000 people are dying each day throughout the country, bringing Indiaâs death toll to nearly 200,000 overall. The double mutant B.1.617 variant â far more virulent and lethal â now accounts for more than 20 percent of new infections in India. The country is experiencing more than 300,000 new infections per day. Hospitals have run out of beds, and, more critically, supplies of oxygen. Almost every hospital is on the edge. If oxygen runs out, there is no leeway for many patients, Dr. Sumit Ray of the Holy Family Hospital in New Delhi, told the BBC.
India s biggest hospital chain, a government organisation and many others line up for Indian-American billionaire Vinod Khosla s offer to fund oxygen supplies businessinsider.in - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from businessinsider.in Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.

Text-based primary care company Curai Health raised $27.5 million in funding. The Palo Alto-based startup was co-founded in 2017 by Neal Khosla, who previously worked in machine intelligence at Google, and Xavier Amatriain, who built Netflix’s recommendation engine. Curai also recruited MDLive’s former chief medical officer, Dr. Sylvan Waller.
Khosla said he had the idea for the company as he began thinking more about healthcare access. Why does it take most patients two to three weeks to see a physician, and why do so many people go to Google with their healthcare questions instead of a healthcare professional?
