By Esha Mitra, CNN Srinivas S. lies on a gurney in an operating theater in St John’s Hospital in Bengaluru as surgeons carefully remove bits of blackened tissue and rotten bone from his face. The 41-year-old driver is one of more than 45,000 Indians infected with black fungus or mucormycosis since the start of the country’s second Covid-19 wave in late March. Like Srinivas, the vast majority of sufferers around 85% were Covid-19 patients, according to India’s Health Ministry. By July, more than 4,300 people had died from the fungal infection. Srinivas’s sister Shyamala V. sits by his bed and considers what life will be like for her brother’s wife and two young sons, ages 2 and four months, if he becomes one of them.
