Rajni Gill woke up with a mild fever in mid-April, the first sign that she had Covid-19. Within a few days, she had difficulty breathing and was nearly unconscious at the hospital. Desperate to be unable to arrange for Gill’s plasma treatment, her sister posted a plea on social media: “I am looking for a plasma donor for the sister who is hospitalized in Noida. She is blood type B and 43 years old “. Fortunately, the message quickly spread on Twitter and appeared on the phone of Mr. Srinivas BV, an opposition politician in nearby Delhi. He claimed to be a voluntary blood donor and went to help this Covid-19 patient. Internet cries for help spread “like wildfire” India’s health care system has been on the brink of collapse as the country records a record increase every day.

Some people need medical oxygen, which is almost impossible to find in the capital, Delhi. Others are on the hunt for high-priced drugs on the black market, or extremely scarce ventilators. And many of those pleas received a response. The prayers for help reached all walks of life in India, from engineers, lawyers, NGO workers, workers, politicians, doctors and even tuk drivers- tuk. Online networks to help victims of Covid-19 are formed in many of the most remote places. Mr. Srinivas, 38 years old, who donated blood to patient Covid-19 in this story is also among these. As chairman of the youth union of the opposition Indian Congress Party, in early 2020, when the first pandemic struck and India had to blockade, Mr. Srinivas summoned the young volunteers. All over the country distributes food to trapped migrants along with more than 10 million masks. Srinivas said calls for help on social media began to spread “like wildfire”. So he created the hashtag #SOSIYC so that everyone could connect with his Indian Youth Congress. How online networks work India’s online help networks rely on tools and algorithms commonly used in social media marketing. Families of victims will tag with large followers to amplify their message. Meanwhile, volunteer organizers use keywords to filter requests. Abhishek Murarka, who works in finance in Mumbai, decided he needed to do more than share his Twitter posts. He began searching for “verified”, “confirmed” and “available” on Twitter to follow potential supporters like Mr. Srinivas’s team. He posted an 84-second video explaining his tricks so others can use. Hundreds of miles away, 20-year-old Praveen Mishra studied Murarka’s way and applied his own filters to search for hospital beds, oxygen and medicine. He was able to give a special medicine to a patient in Delhi after confirming that it was available in Hyderabad. Some people are even exploiting resources around the world. Nikhil Jois and his team checked and contacted charities providing oxygen, food and tampons. He shortened the list to just over a dozen organizations, then asked companies in India to stick the list on their apps or websites so that Indians could easily access it. help. “The best part of social media is that you trust strangers,” said Jois. Nikhil Jois checked aid organizations and called for donations to victims of Covid-19. Photo: Nikhil Jois. Social media is the only way to seek help However, putting your trust in social media isn’t always a good idea. Several well-known accounts offer shoddy or exorbitant prices to desperate patients. Even joking and deceiving vulnerable people can cause many conflicts of hatred. But with India in crisis and moving not a safe option, social media is the only way for some people to seek help. Aditya Jain, who lives in the capital Delhi, recently issued a call on Twitter. He felt helpless because his aunt and uncle, who lived about 200 km away in Agra, were struggling over a blockade. His aunt has spinal disease, and his uncle, a diabetic, is on dialysis every week. Unable to go out, they only ate one meal a day. They are unable to take care of themselves and cannot even bathe themselves. Through LinkedIn, he found an organization that caters to seniors and filled out a form, providing their names and locations. The next morning, the volunteers showed up in front of his aunt’s house with breakfast and adult diapers. “Social media is like a gift from heaven to us,” said Jain emotionally. But not everyone is as lucky as Jain and Miss Gill. Mr. Srinivas said his organization receives at least 10,000 messages on Twitter every day. However, for every 100 requests, he can usually only help from 30 to 40 people due to lack of manpower and material resources. A volunteer teaches a family member how to use an oxygen tank. Photo: Srinivas BV Ms. Mahua Ray Chaudhuri used to “frantically” tag Mr. Srinivas while searching for oxygen for her ailing father. His team found some, but that was not enough: There were no more ICU beds for patients in the hospital. “At least I could find oxygen for my dad, and he didn’t die of suffocation,” Ms. Chaudhuri said. “This help from these strangers on Twitter is like a relief to our pandemic mind and soul.” The chaplain’s account of the funeral for 150 Covid-19 patients before cremation Every day, Hindu cleric RamKaran Mishra performs a funeral for about 150 people who have died from Covid-19 at the Ghazipur crematory facility east of New Delhi, India.

The need to install safety nets for apartments is increasing quite high. After a baby escaped death after falling from the 12th floor of an apartment building in Hanoi, the number of orders for an apartment safety net has increased from a few orders to a few tens, even hundreds a day. Quickly called a mechanic to install a safety net for the apartment corridor, Mr. Nguyen Van Tien (Gemek 2 apartment building, Hoai Duc, Hanoi) said he bought this apartment since he got married, but at that time safety net is not installed because it is not really necessary. However, recently, after many unsafe cases in the apartment, especially the case of a baby falling from the 12th floor of an apartment building in Hanoi, he immediately called a mechanic to put a safety net for his family. me. However, it takes two days for someone to install it. The reason is that most stores are “burned” orders. “Buying an apartment house, my favorite is the wide and beautiful view, so when I first bought it, I didn’t want the view to be obscured by the safety net. Besides, when there are only two couples, the need for safety nets is not really necessary. But now, the couple has a new child, the baby is quite active, so I install a safety net for more peace of mind ”, Mr. Tien said. The mentality of Mr. Tien is the common mentality of many families living in the apartment today. That is also the reason why the safety net market for apartment buildings these days is vibrant again. Mr. Nguyen Van Thang, owner of a shop installing safety nets in Hoai Duc (Hanoi), said that in the past, his company’s staff often went to new apartments to hand over to offer. Usually, the number of orders will increase strongly if there are many apartments handed over in the batch. But in recent days, he hardly has to go to offer, but the number of customers calling to order the company is quite large. He said: “If normally, every day there are only more or less customers calling to order, just a few days ago, the number of customers has increased by 7.8 times. In particular, today, I received more than 100 orders. Because the demand has increased dramatically, we increase the installation even after the break and at night. There are even more customers who have to wait until the next day ”. Mr. Thang also shared, safety nets for apartments have many types, the price of mesh 3 mm diameter is 150,000 VND / m2; 2.5 mm in diameter is priced at 140 thousand VND / m2. If the window pane is less than 1 m2, the regulated price is VND 250,000, including construction and materials. Safety net is a system of parallel cable tension frame with a small distance, about 5 – 15cm, not through the head. In terms of structure, the frame system consists of two rigid aluminum bars positioned above and below. These aluminum bars have pre-perforated holes at a predetermined distance and the cable is continuously threaded through the holes into a mesh surface. Most safety nets are made of 304 stainless steel material with a diameter of 2.5 – 3.5mm, coated with corrosion-resistant HDPE or PE plastic, which is very durable and has good bearing capacity. Mesh has advantages such as high durability, good bearing capacity, no scratching of limbs upon impact, no rust due to humid air, especially suitable for the climate of Hanoi. Safety nets in balcony, loggias or windows prevent people, pets from falling or climbing out. Besides, it works to prevent clothes or other objects such as bonsai pots, bird cages flying or falling below. In particular, the safety net in the apartment building must be able to be cut with specialized tools if a fire or emergency occurs to serve the rescue and rescue work. Mr. Hoang Van Ngoc, owner of a store that installed safety nets in Ha Dong (Hanoi) shared more, for the convenience of customers, the apartment safety nets are installed with a clothes drying frame. . Depending on the needs of customers, the store will have appropriate advice, but it is important to ensure maximum safety for customers. “Although demand for safety nets has increased in recent days, we will not increase prices,” Ngoc said. According to the Vietnam Construction Code on housing and public works – safety of life and health issued by the Ministry of Construction in 2008, the minimum height of handrails is specified: Houses, offices, schools school, office and public works of loggias and terraces at the position of 9 floors or more, the minimum height is 1.4 m. For works used by children under 5 years old, the balustrade must be constructed not for children to easily climb over and the gap must not exceed 10 cm wide. With handrails or loggias used with glass material, the glass is protected by a fixture, ensuring it is solid, no gaps are inserted into the 7.5 cm-diameter sphere, difficult to climb over to prevent prevent falling. However, because children are hyperactive, it is difficult to foresee the risks. Low cost, fast construction time, durable, installing a protective net is one of the timely solutions to increase the safety of today’s apartment buildings.
