Podcasts about india's covid

The news from India is grim. A Covid wave is sweeping the country, inflicting widespread misery and deaths. Government figures of Covid-related fatalities are widely seen as very much underreported. India may soon pass the U.S. as the global leader in deaths. Analysts say that the country wasn't prepared to handle the surge. Hospitals have been overwhelmed and there are acute shortages of oxygen, medicine and vaccines. The country is ruled by Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party, the BJP. It is a Hindu nationalist party. It has come under wide criticism for its handling of the crisis. Noted writer Arundhati Roy says, “It is hard to convey the full depth and range of the trauma, chaos and indignity that India's Covid catastrophe has inflicted. Meanwhile, Modi and his allies tell people not to complain.” Interview by David Barsamian.

Since 21 June, India's daily Covid numbers have remained in the 30,000-50,000 bracket, even though the number jumped by about 50% Wednesday morning to 43,654 new cases.

It's May 9, 2021. Paxton 'kidifies' world headlines about a Nigerian teen, a Belgian farmer changing the border with France, India's Covid Crisis, Uruguay's People's Pots, and an innovation in Japan to save the sacred Nara deer.

The US-based Centre for Global Development says the figure could be ten times as high. Also: migrants in Belgium on hunger strike, and why Israel is threatening consequences for Ben & Jerry's.

India embarked on its COVID-19 vaccination roll-out in early January prior to the second wave. In this episode of India Speak, Yamini Aiyar (President and Chief Executive, CPR) speaks to Partha Mukhopadhyay (Senior Fellow, CPR) to discuss India's vaccine policy and guide us through the many bottlenecks, confusions, and successes we have encountered in the last few months. Why didn't India start vaccinating earlier? How did the policy evolve once the second wave hit? Mukhopadhyay who has been closely tracking the vaccine policy walks us through the different phases of the vaccine strategy across the country. He sheds light on the many inequities of the policy, the state of private supply, the role of the Supreme Court, the Centre-State dynamic and more. He further discusses how the digital inequity was built in with the CoWIN app from an economic, linguistic, and spatial standpoint. Finally, Mukhopadhyay share's his perspective of where we are today vis-a-vis our goals on achieving universal vaccination. About the Series The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic poses serious challenges that need immediate attention.

Fake news and misinformation are hampering India's battle with the coronavirus pandemic. Right from the origins of the virus to unproven alternative cures to efficacy of vaccines, a wave of mass anxiety has washed over the country's social media. While most misleading messages spread through online platforms, experts say senior leaders and influencers have also played a role in fuelling traditional sentiments that prefer alternative therapies to modern medicine. This has increased vaccine hesitancy, especially in rural India, and led to political as well as medical misinformation. Conspiracy theories and false claims not only spread rapidly, they also prompt people to take action in real life - often with severe consequences. What kinds of fake news have dominated India's coronavirus landscape? What role can tech companies play to keep this in check? And is the government a bigger stakeholder in fighting the fake news menace?

India's COVID vaccination drive is marred with all kinds of divides and inequalities. Other than the general shortage in vaccine supply, there's a gender divide, a rural-urban divide and also a digital divide that's holding back the country from effective vaccination. In the past four months since the launch of the Covid vaccination program, 1.2 crore more men got vaccinated than women in India as evident from the Co-Win portal.A report on The Hindu also pointed out that an estimation of only 12-15 percent of India's rural population have received at least one shot of vaccination, in a big contrast to approximately 30 percent of people receiving shots in urban areas.And since the launch of Phase 3 vaccination, the CoWin portal has also come under criticism for excluding the castes and classes which fall on the lesser privileged side of the digital divide. This problem has been raised by the Supreme Court as well which asked the government to “wake up and smell the coffee”. While these divides may look like three individual problems, in some ways these divides are also interconnected. India aims to vaccinate the entire population by the end of 2021, but has the country's vaccination program overlooked these problems? How can these inequalities be addressed for a more successful vaccination strategy?

12 March 2020. India saw its first COVID-19 death after a 76-year-old man from Kalaburagi succumbed to the virus. More than a year later, the country has recorded over 3 lakh deaths even as a more devastating second wave of the pandemic rages on. But who is to blame? How do we understand the scale of the damage in numbers? And is it even possible to get the actual toll?  And, most importantly, what learnings must we take from here? In this latest episode, Fabeha Syed tries to find the answers to some of these questions from veteran virologist Dr Shahid Jameel, public health expert and St Stephen's Hospital's former director Dr Mathew Varghese, and Dr Murad Banaji, who is a senior lecturer of Mathematics in Middlesex University, London.

This is the second episode in the two-part series on vaccine policy in the country.  What should a country, state or local government do in case only a limited quantity of vaccines are available? How can a government body ensure even the poorest people living in remote areas access the COVID-19 vaccines. Is the Indian government managing to reach out to everyone in the country eligible to be vaccinated?  Suno India's Menaka Rao reached out to Sulakshana Nandi, joint convenor of the Jan Swasthya Abhiyaan who has been working organisations of poor, tribal people in Chhattisgarh for years now. She is also a health researcher and has studied inequities in healthcare. We also briefly featured prof R Ramakumar, a developmental economist from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, in Mumbai.   See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.

Dan Saladino looks at covid's impact on food in India and the heroic efforts underway to feed communities. Lockdowns and job losses have disrupted access to food in this country of 1.4 billion people. A further 400,000 covid cases are being reported on a daily basis and 300,000 deaths have been recorded so far. For much of the world the pandemic has primarily been seen as a health crisis, accompanied by significant economic pressures. In India however, the impact on the food system has been considerable. Among the most vulnerable are the daily wage earners and labourers who go from pay check to pay check. When India went into a sudden lockdown in March 2020 many lost their income overnight and also their ability to purchase food. Meanwhile, millions of migrant workers left cities across India to travel back to their villages. This also resulted in people experiencing food shortages and hunger. Chhavi Sachdev, a journalist and broadcaster based in Mumbai joins Dan to report on food stories from the pandemic, from people who survived lockdown in some of the city's most densely crowded slums to home cooks who took it upon themselves to feed people in need. The London based Indian chef Asma Khan describes how she has been trying to send food supplies to a village close to her family's home. Although it's an agricultural area, food supplies have been running low and some people have been at risk of starvation. Bhawani Singh Shekhawat of Akshaya Patra, an organisation that provides hot meals to millions of school children in India each day, explains how the pandemic initially disrupted their ability to provide food, but also led to them innovating and finding new ways of feeding even greater numbers of people. Produced and presented by Dan Saladino.

If you remember how bad the coronavirus pandemic was in the US about a year ago, right now in India … it’s worse. In fact, it’s the worst outbreak the world has seen since the beginning of the pandemic. People are turning to Twitter and Facebook to ask for help, crowdsource medical supplies, and demand the government take better action. But then some of their posts disappeared ... at the request of the government. Zack Beauchamp (@zackbeauchamp) explains. References:  Listen to the Worldly episode about the Covid-19 crisis in India.

The World Health Organization says a Covid-19 variant spreading in India, which is facing an explosive outbreak, appears to be more contagious and has been classified as being of concern.The UN health agency says the B.1.617 variant of Covid-19 first found in India last October seemed to be transmitting more easily.The WHO’s lead on Covid-19, Maria Van Kerkhove also pointed to early studies suggesting that there is some reduced neutralization meaning that antibodies appeared to have less impact on the variant in small-sample lab studies.The WHO insisted though that it was far too early to interpret this to mean that the variant might have more resistance to vaccine protections.

Despite India's insistence, just weeks ago, that it was "in the endgame" of its battle against Covid-19, experts have warned for months that the nation of 1.4 billion people was a growing threat to the global fight against the virus.And now those fears have been realised - with a "tsunami" of coronavirus cases, escalating deaths and dwindling medical supplies – as experts warn the devastation could have a knock-on effect for the rest of the world.Dean Butler joined The Panel on The Weekend Collective to discuss this, along with more issues making news this week.LISTEN ABOVE

Follow more of her work here or on Twitter @lfrayer.The surge in India may be due, in part, to new coronavirus variants circulating in the country.
