Thanks for writing about the dichotomy! It’s a horror show in India. Sadly it’s everywhere and the consensus is that it’s a different strain.

My parents just barely recovered from covid, and we were lucky that they contracted it 5-7 days before all hell broke loose. We were able to get to a doctor and get attention in the first few days, which was super helpful.

Managing that whole situation sitting in NYC was an ordeal, which I am sure so many others are going through. My heart goes out to them.

The duality of having vaccine options to choose from in US while friends, family and countrymen struggle for oxygen and treatment is just hard to wrap my head around.

If anyone is reading this from India, get tested, stay strong and get help as early as possible. Early intervention is the big differentiator.
