India is grappling with its highest daily COVID-19 case numbers ever recorded, alongside deaths reaching levels not seen since November 2020. Health officials report strained hospitals and rising public anxiety as the virus tightens its grip. 😷
Experts blame the spike on waning mask compliance and crowded gatherings, with many young residents abandoning precautions after earlier lockdown fatigue. 🎭 \"People treat it like seasonal flu now, but the numbers don't lie,\" said Mumbai epidemiologist Dr. Priya Sharma in a viral Twitter thread.
The surge comes amid debates about vaccine equity and booster shots. While 65% of India’s population has received at least one dose, rural healthcare access remains uneven. 🌾 Health workers are now racing to curb transmission ahead of upcoming festival seasons – a critical window to avoid overloaded ICUs.
