As the second Covid wave sweeps through the country, infecting lakhs and killing thousands every day, much of the focus has been on metros and major states - the oxygen crises in national capital Delhi and Karnataka, for example, and the slow national vaccination drive have made headlines. The severity of the pandemic in smaller states - like Goa - and the crippling impact on health systems has gone relatively unnoticed. However, horrific stories are now beginning to emerge. Early Thursday 15 patients died at the Goa Medical College and Hospital reportedly due to a lack of oxygen. This was after 26 died Tuesday, again reportedly due to the lack of oxygen. The hospital - the biggest Covid facility in the state - is full. There is no place for new patients, and the final few who were fortunate enough to be admitted must be content with a spot on the floor.More Related News
