U.S. To Assist India With Massive COVID-19 Surge

U.S. military will be transporting emergency supplies to India within the next few days. They intend to provide the raw materials to help India manufacture the Covishield vaccine along with test kits, oxygen-related equipment, protective gear, and other medical paraphernalia.

The infection rate has overwhelmed the hospitals where medicines and oxygen are in short supply. The number of COVID-19 cases in India may be triggered by a more dangerous variant.

In perspective

It is important to note that India has a population of 1,391,123,637 (almost 1.4 Billion) while the USA’s current population is about 332,595,570 (332 Million). When the data on deaths per million is taken into account, the United States is reporting 1766 deaths per million. India has 145 deaths per million, which is well below the world average of 404 deaths per million. Source: Worldometer
