A Statistical take on Delhi’s handling of the Covid19 crisis as a student| Unfiltered
“Days are expensive. When you spend a day you have one less day to spend. So make sure you spend each one wisely.” — Jim Rohn
When the 2nd wave struck Delhi, the scale of positivity rate of Covid19 tests drove Delhi into a river of fear and and insanity, the virus gobbled the society and health sectors collapsed, proving the incompetency of the government to tackle and preplan the requirements needed to fight the mortality rate.
When the rate of cases started increasing from 18th Feb, the Govt. had more than a month to prepare for the foreseeable catastrophe ahead that would leave the Union Territory’s health sectors overwhelmed. From 23th Feb which had recorded 145 new cases, 24th Feb recorded a record high with 35% increase in new cases.
Learning is not a linear process.
Nevertheless, Universities did not let the pandemic affect the learning pace of students in Delhi, with many forcing the students to submit timely assignments and continue all types of assessments even though they seemed impractical in the online mode, which further points towards the linear approach of learning that has brutally engulfed Indian Universities.
Without even bothering about our mental well being, Universities kept pushing students over their limits through assessments that were outdated and redundant (remark might be biased to my University but this is the trend I noticed amongst my peers studying in different Universities across India).
Vaccine Exports
663,698,000 vaccine supplies have been exported according to the Ministry of foreign affairs with the most recently documented on 16th April 2021, and the highest amount of supplies being exported within a period of January-March.
why didn’t the government start mass vaccination post first wave?
Most of these deaths could have been avoided if a mass vaccination program was implemented and our health sector was not underfunded.
With doctors resigning every now and then in India due to overwhelming hours of work or mistreatment, India needs more dynamic people as its representatives as decision makers fail to foresee even the inevitable.
