A leader of the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention (Ministry of Public Security) also confirmed that he had received an official letter from VOV. Currently, the Department of Cybersecurity and High-Tech Crime Prevention and a number of professional units of the Ministry of Public Security have investigated and clarified. In addition, the Cyber ​​Emergency Response Center (VNCERT) and network operators also participate in supporting and solving problems. At the time of the cyber attack, readers could not access the website of VOV newspaper. Photo: VOV. Exchange with Zing , a representative of VOV’s technical department said that cyberattacks on the agency’s resource system began on June 12. At about 13:00 on June 13, the bandwidth system was overloaded, suspected of being attacked by a denial of service (DDoS). On the morning of June 14, the administrator continued to record a new attack that caused the bandwidth of the system and the website to be overloaded. This is the first time this newspaper has been attacked by DDoS. In addition to the above attacks, the VOV side also believes that the person behind the attacks also discredits the stars of the VOV electronic newspaper on Google or repeatedly makes offensive and threatening comments on the newspaper’s fanpage. The VOV side is reviewing and detecting malicious code in the system, and at the same time limiting the consequences of cyberattacks, calculating damage to coordinate with authorities to solve.

The situation of overloaded watercraft is common, but the handling of the functional forces is not easy Heart attack with “beam train” In the early days of June 2021, at the post to regulate water traffic at Chuong Duong – Long Bien bridge cluster on the Red River, due to the start of the rainy season, the water level often changes rapidly. However, the situation of overloaded watercraft, especially sand, gravel and construction materials is very common. Many ships carry heavy loads, the hull is deeply sunken, causing water to overflow on the deck on both sides of the ship, feeling like a big wave or storm, the ship can sink at any time. “Every day there are several hundred ships carrying sand and gravel passing through here, there is no ship carrying a load. Every ship carries “beams”. Looking at the ships flooded with water on the floor made my heart flutter. Any train that goes near or recklessly passes when crossing the bridge to create a big wave, I don’t know what the consequences will be,” an employee of the regulation station said. The leader of the Water Traffic Regulatory Station at Duong Bridge said that from the beginning of the year until now, 5-6 cases of cargo ships having problems and being rescued by the rescue station at the above location are overloaded ships. “The stream over the Duong bridge flows fast and round, if the ship is weak and overloaded, the risk of accidents is very high. In the recent cases, if they were not saved in time and crashed into the bridge pier, I don’t know what the consequences would be,” said Mr. Tran Duc Hai, commander of the Duong bridge’s traffic regulation station. Mr. Tran Xuan Khoi, Director of the No. 1 Inland Waterway Management and Maintenance Joint Stock Company, also informed that most of the cases of vehicles having accidents ran aground or sunk at black spots such as Duc Bac reef, Van Lang bridge … are overloaded vehicles. Overloaded ships when traveling through complicated points and channel positions are easily passive and dangerous when avoiding each other or being pushed across by water. Through the camera, we discovered that the overloaded ship was the main “culprit” of flattening and drifting buoys in some dangerous channel locations”, Mr. Crew members of some construction material ships on the Lo River – Red River route admit that overloading is very dangerous, but for the sake of profit, they still have to take risks. “The owner of the sand mine when selling goods only measures the volume, not the size of the container, so he has to load the beams. I know it’s risky, but I have to take the risk,” said Tuan and the owner of the ship VP-xx35, saying that now every ship is overloaded, because carrying the right load, the right registration is not “racing”. with other ships. Hard to deal with Representatives of the above-mentioned waterway maintenance management units said that from the end of June to October every year, waterway traffic in the northern region is often more complicated due to entering the rainy and stormy season. Therefore, functional forces need to strengthen control and strictly handle overloaded watercraft to reduce the risk of traffic accidents and protect the lives of crew members. Mr. Khuong Kim Tao, former deputy chief of the Office of the National Traffic Safety Committee, said that overloading is also a direct cause of traffic accidents and incidents of watercraft when participating in traffic. Therefore, this situation needs to be dealt with immediately. “The regulations on the management and handling of violations of the load of watercraft are quite complete, but why is the violation of overloading still common?”, Mr. Tao questioned and said, the most inadequate today. is the handling of the unresolved authorities. Also, because it has not been implemented to force ships to unload, or to temporarily seize overloaded watercraft according to regulations, it leads to violation of the law. At this point, it is necessary to have a progressive sanction solution for violating watercraft carrying too many times, deducting fines from the account, income of enterprises and owners of violating means instead of having to “follow” the method. facilities for temporary detention,” suggested Mr. Tao. Mr. Luu Xuan Binh, former deputy head of the Office of Traffic Safety Committee in Hanoi shared, having directly surveyed the handling of water traffic violations many times, he witnessed the functional forces facing many difficulties. That is when sanctioning or suspending overloaded vehicles, it is not easy to organize unloading, while there is also no parking lot for vehicles to keep. “The control and handling of violations of overloading on waterways needs to be synchronized at all relevant stages, from the source of goods, ports, receiving terminals and means of transport. If only focusing on handling on the transportation journey will not be effective, “said Mr. Binh. According to Colonel Nguyen Vinh Giang, Head of the Department of Guidance on Traffic Control and the fight and prevention of crimes on waterways (Department of Traffic Police), it is necessary to increase the level of penalties to strictly handle violations of overloading. However, the current limitation is that the system of anchoring and keeping vehicles has been suspended from operation. “So, along with raising the level of fines, localities need to organize the anchoring and keeping areas of suspended watercraft in order to completely handle this situation,” Colonel Giang said. Increase the fine to 15 million According to a representative of the Vietnam Inland Waterway Administration, the current fine for overloaded vehicles is only 12 million VND. In the Draft Decree on handling of administrative violations in the field of waterway traffic (replacing Decree 132/2015), the highest fine level is set at 15 million VND.

However, many tourists do not have a sense of prevention and control of the complicated development of the COVID-19 epidemic. Spontaneous cooking affects environmental hygiene and food safety. Photo: TL Due to the sudden increase in the number of people flocking to the above amusement parks, there are times when traffic jams and overload occur. Spontaneous eating is raising concerns about waste, unsanitary, affecting the landscape and environment.

Previously, on May 10, the first 6 patients received radiation therapy during the day here. After radiation therapy is indicated, the patient is taken to the radiotherapy area for simulation. The simulation area is equipped with 2 16-slice CT machines, which can perform 3D, 3D simulation techniques with contrast and RPM breathing synchronization system for high-tech 4D radiotherapy (radiotherapy). modulated according to the patient’s breathing rate). The first patient underwent CT simulation before radiation therapy at facility 2, Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital. Photo: BVCC After simulation, the CT data is transferred to the radiotherapy planning room for optimal radiation therapy planning personalized for each patient. Once the radiotherapy plan is approved by the treating physician and engineer, the data is transferred to the radiation machine to prepare the patient for radiation therapy. According to the leader of Oncology Hospital, when the professional processes and equipment system operate stably, the hospital’s facility 2 rapidly increased to receive the number of patients to the radiation treatment area. With 6 accelerated radiotherapy systems, the serving capacity of the radiotherapy area at facility 2 can accommodate 240-400 radiotherapy sessions per day. This helps to completely solve the overload of radiation therapy at the main facility of Oncology Hospital (Binh Thanh District) for decades. According to the plan, from May 19, the main facility of Oncology Hospital will continue to bring outpatients of internal block to facility 2 for further treatment and chemotherapy during the day. With a design of 100 beds, the day chemotherapy facility 2 is capable of treating 300 patients per day, reducing the number of day chemotherapy sessions by 70-80% at the main facility. Also from this time, Oncology Hospital will start to schedule appointments for patients who are being monitored after finishing chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the main facility to switch to re-examination at facility 2. According to the threading route, patients from the provinces and Thu Duc city (accounting for about 80% of day treatment patients at the main facility) will be introduced and guided to facility 2 for treatment. Particularly, the main facility is for patients in the remaining districts of Ho Chi Minh City.

One of the first patients performed CT simulation before head and neck radiotherapy on the same day – Photo: BVCC Oncology Hospital 2 basis (Ho Chi Minh City) has just said that the first 6 patients have received radiation therapy for the day here. At this new hospital, all of them had a simulated CT and radiotherapy on the same day that the patient came for follow-up appointment, while at facility 1 (Ho Chi Minh City Oncology Hospital), the patient was after CT for the simulation, it takes an average waiting time of 2 weeks for radiation therapy. Thus, the Radiation Therapy Area of ​​the Day 2 Baseline Oncology Hospital officially came into operation, starting a roadmap to deal with overcrowding of patients for decades at Primary Oncology Hospital 1. After the State Construction Inspection Department (Department of Inspection) approved in writing to allow the acceptance and commissioning of basements 1 and 2 of the Basement 2 Oncology Hospital, the Management Board attended. The investment project to build civil and industrial projects in Ho Chi Minh City has handed over to the Oncology Hospital all the facilities in basement 1 and basement 2, where the radiotherapy area of ​​the hospital will be deployed. With an area of ​​more than a thousand square meters, equipped with 2 simulation CT systems, 6 accelerated radiotherapy systems, 2 brachytherapy systems and 9 outpatient clinics, this is an integrated simulation, setting up area. treatment plan, external radiation therapy, brachytherapy and outpatient examination, forming a closed day treatment process of radiotherapy at Primary Cancer Hospital 2. After receiving an indication of radiation therapy from the treatment department, the patient was taken to the radiotherapy unit for a simulation. The simulation area is equipped with 2 16-slice CT machines, which can perform 3D, 3D simulation techniques with contrast, comes with RPM breathing synchronous system for high-tech 4D radiotherapy ( modulated radiation therapy according to the patient’s breathing rate). After the simulation, the CT data are transferred to the radiotherapy planning department to perform the positioning of the radiotherapy volumes and healthy organs, calculate the irradiation field parameters, dose, shielding, … treatment. to get an optimized personalized radiation treatment plan for each patient. When the radiotherapy plan is approved by the treating doctor and the engineer, the data is transferred to the radiotherapy machine to prepare the patient for radiotherapy. The daily plans will be checked and measured directly on the machine to ensure the quality of treatment (the actual dose delivered on the machine must be the same as the dose set in the software). If all are satisfactory, the patient will be treated on a radiograph. Primary Oncology Hospital 2 has put into operation 6 image-guided radiotherapy machines (IGRT) that can perform advanced techniques in current radiotherapy: Electron, 3D, IMRT, VMAT . In addition, the radiotherapy machine can perform SRS / SBRT (Hyper Arch) radiotherapy, breathing radiotherapy, control surface movement. Medical physicist working with radiotherapist in planning radiotherapy at Primary Cancer Hospital 2 Oncology Hospital’s Board of Directors said that when the specialized processes and the equipment systems are working stably, Primary Oncology Hospital 2 will rapidly increase the reception of the number of patients coming to the radiotherapy area. With 6 accelerated radiotherapy systems equipped, the service capacity of the radiotherapy area at facility 2 can meet 240-400 times of radiation therapy per day, capable of resolving the overload situation. Radiation therapy for Primary 1 Cancer Hospital for decades. According to the plan, from May 19, 2021, the Oncology Hospital will continue to bring outpatients of the internal group to the 2 primary Oncology Hospital for continued treatment and chemotherapy during the day. With a design of 100 chemotherapy beds a day, the 2nd Primary Oncology Hospital’s Day Chemotherapy area is capable of chemotherapy 300 patients per day, which will reduce 70 – 80% of the number of chemotherapy during the day. basis 1. In addition, from this time, Oncology Hospital will start appointing patients who are monitored after the end of chemotherapy, radiotherapy at facility 1 to be re-examined at Primary Cancer Hospital 2.

At the cremation site, where the fire was only temporarily extinguished late at night, loved ones had to wait for hours to say goodbye. The cremation scene was photographed, filmed, even broadcast live on social networks. These images will be sent to relatives in quarantine across India. They even appear on entire world news and newspapers, bringing India’s tragedy to a global audience. Fire ceremony participants must wear masks and protective gear. Photo: The New York Times. From the rooftops, local residents took pictures of the fire to show the world why they had to wear masks even indoors. Smoke and a strong smell of death, enveloping narrow alleys all day, even crept through closed windows, according to The New York Times. The cremation flame is a testament to the devastation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic on India. Exhausted from cremation The Covid-19 virus spread too quickly in India. The country continuously records more than 400,000 new cases every day. Nowhere in the country is beyond the devastating “tsunami”. Every day about 300 official deaths are recorded in New Delhi. However, this number is not believed to reflect the reality. “Before the pandemic, I received six to eight bodies a day,” said Jitender Singh Shunty, founder of a volunteer cremation organization Seemapuri, east of New Delhi. Now, every day I have to hold a cremation ceremony for about 100 bodies. Through his organization Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal, Mr. Shunty has provided free or low-cost cremation services to the poor for 25 years. As demand skyrocketed, Mr. Shunty’s full-time workforce encountered numerous difficulties. They had to build dozens of new crematoriums in the adjacent field. Mr. Shunty’s cremation center received 100 bodies a day. Photo: The New York Times. Mr. Shunty’s daily job is to help move bodies and arrange the location of his cremation. During a pandemic, he had to change his protective shirt, mask and gloves dozens of times a day. At night, he slept in his car because his wife and two sons had Covid-19. Crematorial staff are receiving special care in the hospital. “Our team is about 16 people. We are working day and night, ”he said. “It is only 8 am, but I have received 22 phone calls to confirm the body.” According to Hindu tradition, cremation is a frequently used method. They believe that cremation disrupts the association of the soul with the physical body. The eldest son will lead the funeral delegation and relatives will carry the body onto the funeral pyre. A Hindu monk, also known as pandit, will recite his last prayers before the fire is lit. The ash of the deceased will be scattered in the Ganges or another sacred river. Mourners will gather at the deceased person’s home to commemorate and conduct prayer rituals. Families usually collect the ash immediately to avoid confusion. Unclaimed ashes, Mr. Shunty said, are held for up to two months, after which they are scattered into the Ganges River. Separate birth and death In addition, the pandemic also deprives the deceased’s final rites and deprives relatives of their private space. Traditionally, relatives will gather to share the pain of loss. Now, the fear of infection keeps most loved ones away. Even many bodies were cremated with no one nearby. “My family members can’t even see those last moments,” said Mittain Panani, a 46-year-old businessman. Mr. Panani and his brother are the only two people who directly attended their father’s cremation in Mumbai. His mother is still hospitalized with Covid-19. “Even if you have money, power, influence, you can’t do anything in that moment. I feel really powerless, ”he said sadly. Relatives brought the body of Covid-19 patient to the cremation area. Photo: The New York Times. “Flames were rising from the funeral pyre, relatives wearing masks and protective clothing. The scene is like the end of the world, ”said Dimple Kharbanda, a film producer who returned to New Delhi to attend the cremation ceremony of his late father. She had to beg relatives, including aunts in the neighboring state, not to come to Delhi because of the risk of infection. “When someone in India dies, we get together and talk about them, their lives, their habits and the good things. However, at this point, we can’t even do that, ”said Poonam Sikri, Ms. Kharbanda’s biological aunt. “When I watched his cremation (Miss Kharbanda’s father) on the phone, it felt like I had lost a part of my body. I want to stroke his hair, rub his face and hug him one last time. But I can’t do it ”. For the families of Covid-19 victims, the cremation site is the final stop of a series of difficult trials. It ended a series of days dragging patients from hospital to hospital in search of a bed and struggling in line for oxygen. Last stop Before Darwan Singh’s body was taken to Seemapuri, his family did everything they could to save the 56-year-old breadwinner. His fever did not go away while the oxygen level in his blood dropped to a dangerously low level of 42%. For two days, his family could not find a hospital bed or an oxygen tank. His nephew, Kuldeep Rawat, said he was given oxygen for an hour before the hospital supplies ran out. The family brought Mr. Singh home at night. The next day, they had to wait another five hours in the parking lot of another hospital. Mr. Rawat said the family had to pay a bribe of about $ 70 to get a free bed in a public hospital. Unfortunately, Mr. Singh died overnight. According to Hindu tradition, cremation is believed to break the connection of the soul with the physical body. Photo: New York Times. With the Seemapuri cremation center overloaded, the hospital was unable to immediately hand over the body. On April 25, his body and five other people were taken to the cremation site. Mr. Rawat said he had to get in an ambulance to confirm his uncle’s identity. The family then took him inside the crematorium and had to wait 5 hours before it was his turn to bring his uncle to the pyre. Even the last stop also cost them a relatively large amount: 25 USD for the prayer meeting, 34 USD for wood, 14 USD for the pandit priest and 5 USD for the protective suit. Mr. Singh’s family could not even come to the funeral. Both his mother, wife, daughter and son were infected with Covid-19. Mr. Rawat feared that he would also be infected during the period of sending his uncle to the emergency room. “They have a hard time understanding what’s going on.” For the families living around the crematorium, the fire that burns all night and day is a constant reminder of Covid-19’s death that awaits them. In the Sunlight Colony, where shabby houses and flats lie with Seemapuri, smoke is so much that many people are forced to wear masks while indoors. Children are rinsed with hot water before going to bed and laundry is dried in the room. People living near cremators must wear masks even when indoors. Photo: The New York Times. Waseem Qureishi, a resident right next to the Seemapuri crematorium, said: “My kitchen is upstairs but I really can’t stand it inside. If the wind is headed towards my house, the situation is even worse. Anuj Bhansal, an ambulance driver who lives near the Ghazipur crematorium, also in eastern New Delhi, says he is very worried about his four children. He said every time the cremated body number reached 100 people, children in the neighborhood would run up a nearby garbage hill to see. “When the children watched the fire and smoke coming from the cremation site, they asked why it did not go out,” Mr Bhansal said sadly. “They have a hard time understanding what’s going on.” 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.

In particular, this year, guests also travel early, go the whole week before the holiday (April 23-27), or after that (from May 2-3) … so the service is continuously full. for a dozen days. Sapa attracts tourists during the holiday season this year. According to Viettravel, in April, the business recorded 35,000 tourists booking tours, of which most flocked on the holidays April 30 – May 1. Currently, most of the tours on this occasion are full. With the tours still available, Viettravel continues to accept tourists, depending on the travel routes. However, without saying anything, businesses can quickly close the book if the number of tourists booking tours continues to increase rapidly as before. The representative of this unit also stated that, after COVID-19, the tourism trend of tourists has changed significantly, from traveling in groups, available schedules to free travel, with fewer people. Groups from 2 to less than 10 people. Despite the high demand, but this year’s holiday tour price does not increase compared to every year. In addition to shifting the trend of freelance travel with small groups, customers will also benefit more from combo packages from service providers. Information with VTC News, Mr. Le Hong Thai – Deputy Director of Hanoitourist Travel Company – also said that the tour was closed for tourists on holidays from about a week ago. The hottest tours on April 30 – May 1 this year are Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, Da Nang, Ha Long Sapa. Many of these tours even refused to receive guests earlier due to full service. “ The number of tourists booking tour during the holiday season 30/4 – 1/5 is much higher than last year. The reason is easy to understand is that the COVID-19 epidemic has been well controlled, people want to take advantage of traveling right in this period of time with the fear of outbreaks again. There are still many customers wishing to call to book tours. Hanoitourist continues to serve and can increase more road tours to Cao Bang, Ha Giang, Sapa … As for the flight tours, to Quy Nhon, Nha Trang, Con Dao, Phu Quoc, it is currently closed. and no more “, Mr. Thai said. A similar situation happened at another travel agency. Representative of Viet Tourism Company said that this unit has now stopped accepting tourists on flight tours to destinations such as Phu Quoc, Con Dao, Nha Trang … The reason is that the number of tourists booking these tours is full. Moreover, the ticket price is also very high. “ Book flights at the present time, flight prices range from 6-8 million VND, equal to the tour price to Phu Quoc if booked early “, the man said. Phu Quoc is one of the most attractive destinations for this holiday season but it is currently difficult to book a tour there. According to information from the Phu Quoc Tourism Association, hotels in tourist areas in Phu Quoc are almost overloaded, customers who want to book for a holiday from April 30 to May 1 must book a month earlier. Hotels and motels in Phu Quoc have opened 100% and are operating at full capacity except for a very small proportion of properties that are difficult to close for repair.

The body of the patient Covid-19 is piled up in a crematory in New Delhi, where every four minutes, someone dies from a pandemic. Someone brought the body and left it. At the Ghazipur village crematory in eastern New Delhi, bodies were brought, one after the other. The amount of bodies was so great that ambulances and trucks transporting the dead blocked an entire road, Guardian described on April 30. Before the pandemic happened, in Ghazipur crematory staff’s memory, there was only one time that it was filled with space in a day. But now, sometime early in the morning, this place has received 150 bodies, while the maximum capacity is 38 bodies. Crematorial staff have to expand the scope of operations to parking lots but also cannot meet all demand. In the Indian capital, the second wave of Covid-19 infections is still raging with no sign of slowing down. On April 30, Delhi recorded a record number of 395 deaths and 24,235 new infections. Across India, the total number of new infections during the day was unprecedentedly high with 386,693 cases. Someone brought the body and left it Cremators in India are rushing to increase their capacity to handle 1,000 cremations a day. It is at these cremations that the destruction of Covid-19 in Delhi is being most evident. In 30 years of helping cremate the dead, Sunil Kumar Sharma, head of the Ghazipur village crematorium, said she had never thought of such a scene. “Too many people died. I have a feeling if this situation continues, there will be no one in Delhi, ”Sharma said. Normally, the body of a Covid-19 patient must be handled according to a rigorous procedure. But according to Sharma, corpses from hospitals are often not covered with protective cloths, putting cremators at risk of exposure. Some families even try to hide the death of a loved one from Covid-19. “The situation here is terrible and terrible,” said Mr. Sharma. “We have to work 20 hours a day, very tiring. My spirit seemed to have broken at the surroundings. Now there are people who bring the body and leave it, so we have to perform the ceremony to save some face for the deceased. According to the Hindu and Sikh beliefs of the Indians, a person cannot enter the door of heaven if their body is cremated without the watcher’s presence and keeping the fire on the pyre. Every day, Sharma’s crematorium consumes 60 tons of wood. “Every night, I worry about how to dispose of the body delivered tomorrow,” Mr. Sharma said. “What if it is beyond our capabilities?”. Suffering covers everywhere With thousands of recently cremated bodies, the air around Ghazipur crematorium was thick black smoke. Scattered around the ash-gray crematoriums left the day before were some offerings: mangoes, pomegranates, and orange flowers. On a nearby ambulance, a woman in a dark green sari was mumbling her prayers. In the car with her was the body of her husband, who had just died that morning because of Covid-19. The widow tried to place a red handshake on her husband’s body but was gently pushed away by a man in a protective suit to transport the body. The air around Ghazipur crematorium was thick black smoke from thousands of recent cremations. Photo: Shutterstock. Another man, Ajay Gupta, cried bitterly while the body of his brother, Ram, was placed on the crematorium. Just last week, Ram received treatment from the hospital for breathing problems. Ram’s illness had been in remission at first. I can even video call you from the hospital bed. But when the hospital ran out of oxygen, Ram did not survive. “Just a few days ago the nurse told us he would be fine,” Gupta said. Gupta is also a victim of the emerging black market in Delhi. It sells oxygen and drugs like Remdesivir to desperate families like Gupta at exorbitant prices. According to Gupta, after listening to the doctor, he used the last coin to buy Remdesivir for his brother at the black market for 630,000 rupees (about 8,500 USD), 10 times higher than normal. However, the effectiveness of Remdesivir Covid-19 is still questionable. “I felt like everything had collapsed,” Gupta said.

Krishnan Pal, 48, who sells snacks in Delhi, is also one of those who died after repeatedly being rejected by the hospital due to overload. Pal cousin Kai Charan Kashap said they knocked on the doors of every hospital in Delhi but were unable to find an empty bed. After that, Pal was transported by his family to Agra, a city in the adjacent state of Uttar Pradesh. The hospital here still has empty beds but there is no oxygen left. In the end, Pal died on his way to Bareilly, a city in the state of Uttar Pradesh. “People are dying in the middle of the street because they can’t breathe,” said Kashap in a choked sob while waiting for his brother’s body to be transported from the morgue. Vaccine is seen as the way out of the crisis Many believe that the vaccine is the only long-term way to help India get out of the corona virus crisis. But on April 30, authorities in some parts of Delhi said plans to vaccinate people aged 18 and over had been delayed indefinitely due to lack of supply. The announcement comes just a day before the expanded immunization program is scheduled to be rolled out in Indian courts. Shortages such as in the capital Delhi are also common across this South Asian country. An immunization center in Mumbai posted “no vaccinations for the next three days” on April 30. Photo: Reuters. Delhi Prime Minister Arvind Kejriwal said authorities would inject the vaccine “as soon as possible”. But some private clinics in Delhi said the vaccine is not expected to arrive for at least another month or even two. During that time, the crematory and cemetery in Delhi will continue to suffer the deadly pressure that engulfs the city every day. At the Ghazipur crematory, after sunset, all crematoriums will be lit up at the same time. Flames flared in the screams of heat and pain. Tomb diggers work non-stop in India Tomb diggers work 24 hours a day to bury those who have died from Covid-19. Their shift did not stop amid the second wave of Covid-19 in India.

Last week, India’s Health Minister Harsh Vardhan affirmed that the Covid-19 death rate in this country is “at the lowest in the world”. The statement of the head of the medical industry is in stark contrast to the series of shocking images and stories of cremations burned day and night due to overloaded bodies, patients dying on the road due to lack of breathing. gas, according Guardian . Question of concealing data of the dead? Official records of the Indian authorities show that the number of people infected and fatal has increased continuously. On May 1, the South Asian country experienced another record-breaking day with 401,993 new cases and 3,523 deaths from Covid-19. But health experts have the same view that the official number does not fully reflect the size of the number of deaths caused by Covid-19 in India. At this time, because medical facilities are overloaded and lack medical supplies, many patients cannot be hospitalized and die at home, even without adequate testing. Meanwhile, the local authorities were accused of not making accurate statistics, even hiding the actual death toll in the area where they were responsible. Relatives stand by when the dead body is cremated. Photo: Reuters. In the past month, in the city of Karnataka, Bangalore – where the number of infections has been among the fastest growing in the country – the number of corpses registered for cremation with Covid-19 is twice as high as the number of deaths recorded by the authorities. The information concealment charge is particularly notable in Uttar Pradesh, where the state government is governed by the ruling Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party. Adityanath, governor of Uttar Pradesh, insisted that the state had no shortage of oxygen, and threatened to prosecute anyone who spread panic information. Authorities Uttar Pradesh denied allegations of information hiding. The truss burned day and night In the Muzaffarnagar city of Uttar Pradesh state, data are available from the weekly newspaper Observer The collection revealed the discrepancy between the local authorities’ death statistics and the number of bodies cremated at city cremation facilities and cemeteries. Official data recorded only 10 deaths from Covid-19 in the last four days of April. But according to Ajay Kumar Agarwal, owner of a city cremation facility, that is only an odd number compared to the bodies burned. burned at this facility every day. “Normally we cremate 3 bodies per day. But in the past 10 days, the number of cremated bodies has increased many times. There are days 18, some days 20, then 22 and 25. In the past 10 days, not yet.” we have less than 12 bodies every day, 90% of which are corona deaths, “said Agarwal. Mr. Agarwal’s cremation facility only had seven crematoriums, so the staff had to cremate the body on the ground. Some of the bodies were sent to another facility 35 kilometers from the city. The pyre burned day and night in India. Photo: Reuters. Mr. Agarwal accused local authorities of publishing “inaccurate” data, denying the possibility that the city has experienced no days, or that only one or two people died of Covid-19 in the past week. . “The authorities have not released the exact death figures. I don’t understand why they are hiding it. Maybe they don’t want people to panic,” Agarwal said. Similar comments were made by Sanjay Mittal, an employee at another cremation facility in Muzaffarnagar. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. We set the crematorium on fire from dawn to dusk,” Mittal said. Before the pandemic, Mittal’s cremation facility handled about 5 bodies a day. But on April 27, they received 21 bodies. On April 28, the number of bodies decreased to 15, before once again increasing to 19 on April 29. “It is noon now, and we have already got 12 bodies. I don’t know how much more will it be by the end of the day,” Mittal said on April 30. The number of bodies taken for burial has also increased sharply in the Muslim cemetery in Muzaffarnagar. “Before the corona virus, we buried 2-3 bodies a week, but now it is 6-7 bodies a day. Only three of them come from the hospital, the rest are either dead at home or not tested,” Mr. Abdul Quadir, curator, said. Government data show that Muzaffarnagar has a very low rate of testing. On April 27, the whole city did not conduct tests. On April 29, only 561 people were tested, all positive for corona virus. The actual number of deaths could be 3 times higher An unnamed doctor from the Medical Association in Uttar Pradesh state said that many people die from pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis – typical symptoms of severe form Covid-19. “We have to accept that the death toll from corona virus is much higher than the official statistics. The bodies we see at the crematorium are mostly self-medicating at home, and they die.” The number of deaths like this is very high, but most of them have not been recorded. The rate of testing here is much lower than the need, “the doctor said. Murad Banaji, the mathematician who modeled the plague in India, said the numerous streams of evidence suggest that the understatement of deaths from disease is a serious problem. This expert believes that the number of deaths in India is at least 3 times higher than the official statistics. The conclusion is based on calculations from major cities like Mumbai, where during the first outbreak of the epidemic he calculated the number of “excess deaths” compared to the annual number of deaths. Mass cremation area in New Delhi. Photo: Reuters. This calculation could put the number of Covid-19 deaths in Mumbai from 13,000 to about 21,000. Banaji stressed that in less developed rural areas, such as in the states of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, with limited medical facilities, Covid-19 deaths are not recorded “perhaps much larger than in cities like Mumbai “. The consequences of inaccurate statistics on the number of deaths can be very serious. It will affect the effective allocation of resources, limiting the ability to develop a suitable immunization strategy to help prevent future outbreaks. “If we don’t have data to understand what’s going on in the current pandemic, how can India prepare for the future?” Mr. Banaji said.

According to AP, the report of the Indian Ministry of Health on April 25 recorded 349,691 new cases, bringing the total number of cases in this country to over 16.9 million cases, the second most in the world after the US. In addition, there were 2,767 deaths in the past 24 hours, pushing the number of COVID-19 deaths in India to 192,311. Experts say that the actual death toll could be much greater, since it does not include suspected cases, and many deaths from COVID-19 are attributed to underlying medical conditions. . The Indian crisis is most evident in cemeteries, cremations and cremations, or in heartbreaking images of a series of suffocating patients on their way to a hospital due to lack of oxygen.

In the city center of Bhopal, a number of cremators have increased their capacity from a few dozen bodies to over 50 a day. However, bodies awaiting cremation still have to wait. At the city’s Bhadbhada Vishram Ghat crematorium, workers said they cremated more than 110 people on April 24, although figures from the city government of 1.8 million people only report the total number of deaths. because COVID-19 that day was 10 people.

The crisis contradicted the government’s statement that “no one in the country will be left without oxygen,” in an April 24 statement by Indian Attorney General Tushar Mehta before the Supreme Court of Delhi. The crisis of the new COVID-19 wave is a huge failure for a country that only in January, Prime Minister Modi declared victory over the epidemic and is proud to be the “pharmacy of the world” – home global vaccine production, which is a model for other developing countries. Off guard against the spike in infections, the federal government has asked industrialists to increase production of oxygen and other drugs that are in short supply. However, health experts say India has a whole year to prepare, but they have not. People wait in line to pump more oxygen into the tank, to save patient COVID-19. Photo: DailyMail Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases at the Medical University of South Carolina (USA), said the Indian government had “reacted very passively to this situation instead of actively”. Ms. Kuppalli said that the government should be using 2020, when the virus is better controlled, to prepare plans to tackle in the event of an outbreak, while at the same time “stockpiling drugs and developing relationships. Public-private partnerships to support the production of essential resources in the event of such a situation ”. “Most importantly, they should look at what’s going on in other parts of the world and understand that the possibility of India in a similar situation is only a matter of time,” said Ms. Kuppalli. Associate Professor Kuppalli called the Indian government’s early statements on pandemic victory a “mistake”, as it encouraged people to relax prevention measures when they should have continued to adhere to it. strict spacing, wear masks and avoid crowds.

At that time, SARS-CoV-2 had begun to strike again and experts warned that a fatal increase was inevitable. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on April 25 that the US was “deeply concerned” about a serious COVID-19 outbreak in India. “We are working around the clock to deploy more supplies and support to our friends and partners in India as they bravely fight this pandemic,” said Mr. Sullivan on Twitter. Neighboring Pakistan also expressed support for people in India.
