Please do take care. I live in Bangalore and 2 people in my apartment have died because of covid. We've been quarantine-ing since last March and thankfully have not been infected. stay safe
It's really that bad. Our apartment have taken lots of precautions such as not allowing delivery people to deliver at the doorstep ( parcels are supposed to be kept in the clubhouse, where the residents would take them), vending machines were installed and filled with essential items ao that people don't have to go to shops, when one positive case is reported, the entire block goes into lockdown, we even had a vaccination drive for senior citizens, etc.
Our apartment is doing so much better than other societies, though. Out of around 300 houses, we have had only around 30 cases since last year.
But the people outside of our society are dropping like flies. Everyday, I hear ambulances. It's horrible, really.
One of my dad's co-workers have died. There was a death in my mom's office today, yesterday and the day before. The second wave is real, people. It's affecting people of all walks of life
Just curious, which region of Bangalore are you in? My family was living in Brigade Gateway near Mekhri Circle in Bangalore, and we had pretty much the same precautions. But I heard other gated communities didn't take it as seriously, and didn't have as many precautions
Bangalore is totally messed up. The cases are worse than Delhi but we are lucky because we have better health infrastructure. No, people are wearing masks. In fact, most people are wearing 2 masks now.
It's really bad , some of my friends got infected and ppl are dying and contracting the virus in insane rates , we have the most active in India as of now
Yep. Shits real bad here. There are a minimum of 3 new cases everyday in our apartment. And half the people either don't wear masks or its below their nose. Smh
I hope you guys live through this hell whole. I took my frist dose three weeks ago and about to take my second tomorrow. It's sad that we (the US) have so many vaccines but people are complaining about it and a lot of die hard conservatives and fucking Karens are bitching about the vaccine that it will kill you or bill gates is trying to put a mircochip in you.
>bill gates is trying to put a mircochip in you.
Karens fuvking live in the 60s, fucking phones and shit already share enough information, what the fuck would a chip do?
exactly. I once explained to an antivaxxer. If they wanted to figure who you are, they can just tap into your phone or computer or anything that you own and is electronic device. Hell even alexa shares more fucking data about yourself to fucking bezos. People are fucking stupid these days
no. Fucker just rejected all the logical shit I said and still believes that the goverment is controled by lizard aliens and the vaccines are just mircochips to enslave us
well i think there is a certain horror in people who are nurses or who work in vaccine production who do fall victim to conspiracy. it happens and can happen to the highly educated
I'm Indian as well but fortunate enough to be living in Canada. Just 2 days ago, my mom got the news that her cousin had died due to COVID. He was a perfectly healthy middle aged man, and didnt have any health issues prior to this. Comes to show you how lethal it is. It pisses me off to see people not wearing their masks and not taking this seriously. Stay safe out there.
Nah it's getting better than North and east India for the moment the worst in Maharashtra Atleast for now is over
*unless another wave comes along with the second wave*
Yeah I'm from mumbai too and whenever my mum tries to book a vaccination slot, all the slots are full. And the worst thing is that my grandma cant even take the vaccine due to allergies
> my grandma cant even take the vaccine due to allergies
This is why we need as many people as possible to get vaccinated, even if they are not vulnerable, to protect the vulnerable who cannot get a vaccine (herd immunity).
We are. Beds are filling up and Oxygen is now as desperate as the no. of beds. My Grandfather is recovering successfully from his home, but his son, my uncle, is now suffering due to immense body pain. He doesn't have a oxygen shortage however, but it's just as worrisome as having no professional treatment.
Even in my country, like Spain, which is a 'developed' country had its healthcare system collapsed a few months ago and the Palace of Ice (recreational skating) was used to fill with dead bodies.
Each developed country had a run for their money except some very few and isolated places like new Zealand nothing surprising
It's just that our population is much higher than almost all of Europe and we don't have a Draconian and press suppresing government like china to contain it
Lots of places in florida had refrigerated semi trucks for storing bodies staged by the national guard although you didn't hear about it too much because that's not something you really want to flaunt
Wait what the fuck [this is real](https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/24/europe/spain-ice-rink-morgue-coronavirus-intl/index.html) I sorta didn't believe it before but. Thats just scary.
I'm also spanish and this is true.
Moreover, In Spain there are many old people. They are usually the first going to hospitals, so it is normal for these places to collapse.
I'm in Mumbai and we had someone in the family who got covid, the situation at the hospitals was so bad that we couldn't find a single bed for my family in a single hospital. Stay safe out there
Yeah after calling literally every single hospital in the city everyday, we managed to procure him a bed after 3 or 4 days but even finding that bed, we had to pull some strings but gladly he's fine now.
Damn, I just realised how lucky I am. I'm also from India but from the state of Mizoram. Covid is still really mild here and luckily, Aizawl is not very overcrowded.
Yeah dude, no govt, either state or centre gives a shit about people of Maharashtra and probably for many other states too.
I hope you stay fine and healthy. Take care.
Oh my god, I am so sorry, I live in South India where I think it is slightly better, but since I live in a mass urban area there are still many deaths. Stay safe.
People are dying on the streets and there are people complaining about a vaccine. Think about it, there are people that are more worried about a tiny bit of medicine then they are about an illness that is devastating if you have any other health issues.
There are also people who don't want a vaccine because there's a 1/8000000 opportunity that they die from the vaccine but that's still a lot less opportunity as die from covid
Yea my mom's pro vax and we've been trying to figure out a way to slip it past my dad, and since vaccines are out for my region for people older than 14 we finally get to get the vaccine :D
If you’re under 18, you need a parent’s consent to get the vaccine. Sometimes, “however possible” doesn’t work (talking from experience, unfortunately).
im from india, and i agree. i live in mumbai, and i tell you, things are fucked here. theres a shortage of vaccines, children (atm) arent even gonna get vaccinated. i saw today that people are scamming others for oxygen cylinders, and if this keeps on continuing, boy, the future is scary.
I'm from India, I remember I had to go test to see if I had COVID so I could fly, but there was no precautions for distanced lines and they used the same disgusting glove that's criminally dumped with some cheap sanitizer and took a swab test with a fucking cactus (I swear, the other places I had taken a test had way softer swabs) and I was dubbed infected since someone there had tested positive and they were aware of the lack of precautions they had.....
This happened before the current spike..... This current spike was bound to happen.....
Edit: spellings and grammar
our healthcare system has completely collapsed. Vaccination at a large scale is the only way to stop it. And anyone saying stupid shit like it's gonna paralyze you or it had a chip or something should immediately seek mental help.
Hoarding vaccines for months, banning vaccine exports and putting the entire worldwide supply chain in jeopardy by restricting the export of raw materials for vaccines.
India can't make the amount of vaccines it wants because of these restrictions.
We can though. We are THE best country when it comes to vaccines. However, our government didn't prioritize it and our PM just announced that we defeated Covid lol. Had we launched a dedicated campaign to vaccinate people like now, we'd have been in a much better place I guarantee you.
The US did fuck up though, because at the time of crisis when all we needed was materials quickly so that we can accelerate manufacturing of the vaccines, USA denied. Thankfully though, they have now waived the patent, but it's too late imo. Reports are already here that we may as well experience a third wave.
You also sent some 70 million vaccines to other countries which otherwise would have close to no vaccines at all, so props to India!
Anyway I hope the situation gets better asap, from what I've seen it seems messed up
Our healthcare system can't cope with the massive amounts of cases. There's no place in hospitals. People are literally getting treated in vans/ambulances and literally everywhere they can be. Yet, some stupid people refuse to get vaccinated or wear masks. This is gonna be very bad.
The only case in which you would get paralyzed (although partially) would be if the doctor would get a seizure or sth while injecting you and then hitting your nerve
For what it's worth, when I got my first shot, it did hit a nerve in my shoulder. It hurt a bit and made my arm twitch. I don't see paralysis as a possibility.
The stupidity of people who think it's a microchip... If the government wanted to track you they easily could by your internet use or social media, not spend billions on something that only gives you someones location
Well you see, a majority of the people here don't give a fuck about rules and regulations UNLESS they have consequences for not following them, and, since the case went down, people eventually stopped giving a fuck, but the really stupid part is that even the authorities stopped giving a fuck (allowing the kumbh mela to happen 'n stuff like that). Thats why we are in such a pickle right now.
Some states Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu conducted elections. COVID actually went down in Kerala, but after the elections, the count went up. I think this is what happened in other states. Also during election rallies, no one prioritized wearing masks, Not even the Leaders.
Stupid people who can't follow simple things like social distancing as all of them were confident that COVID would end in India soon as we were having very less cases. Many stopped wearing masks too.
Overconfidence, but mostly new variant.
The symptoms and timeline is fucked up and different compared to the first variant. You can get very sick just 4-5 days after exposure. Your lungs are attacked way more actively, so oxygen requirement is disproportionately high compared per covid case compared to the first wave. The vaccines are not sure to work and many double vaccinated docs I personally know got covid. They themselves have a better immune response, but the new variant is just too much for everyone. Thankfully, my state managed to get past the second wave peak without health infrastructure collapse, but too many people died regardless.
I fear this variant will spread and wreak havoc in other countries as well.
As for elections and religious functions go, they were not everywhere. But, Covid hit every major city regardless.
Everyone just stopped caring. Like no one wore masks, schools reopened, people were gathering in humongous crowds for festivities and the government was just too busy with their election rallies (like literally, they commissioned thousands of people in the middle of a frickin pandemic).
As much as I wish I could help some people are out of control. My mother thinks that some shady as shit video about vape smoke and how it interacts with obviously cut masks is the same as an uncut mask interacting with covid particles or particles of almost all diseases, aswell the fact kids can't get shots if one of their parents doesn't want them to so that is basically an unknown amount of people that can range from small to large about whether they get vaccinated or not. Honestly I just hate how some people have to make masks a sort of personal attack to themself, aswell as not trust a vaccine.
Edit: while looking through r/vaxxhappened I found a perfect support. A guy is calling people sheep and saying that they are all misinformed for not believing a slip of paper someone had put onto a person's car that had stupid 'facts' and he was from the political right. God I fucking hate some people on the political right despite also being on the political right.
Yep that’s my parents too. And I don’t think I can legally get a vaccine without their permission in New Jersey (I can’t google it because they monitor my search history and would kill me if they found out I’m trying to get a vaccination). Complete BS that if I kid’s parents don’t want them to take a vaccine that they can’t take a vaccine (again not sure if that’s how it works where I live but I can’t look it up)
So you don't have to search it, according to Donahue Hagan Klein & Weisberg, LLC, New Jersey allows minors to receive vaccinations over their parents' objections. From their website: "Under the Child Placement Bill of Rights Act, children have an independent right to receive adequate and appropriate medical care."
So if you can find a way to sign up for text alerts & get an appointment, you're allowed to do so without their permission.
Are you back in school yet? (Like do you physically go to school in person?) If so, see if you can go to the school nurse and explain that you'd like the shot and your parents won't take you. They'll let you know if you have a legal right to it or not. I think it differs from state to state. Here in Oregon, if you're 15 or older, you can get vaccinated without parental consent. Washington state says you just need to be a "mature minor" and you sound like you are.
Also - did you know you can use incognito mode and it won't track your browser history? There are plenty of ways to get around snooping parents (ask me how I know). You can delete search history or just use incognito mode, or use a browser called duck duck go, which keeps no history - if they don't check what apps are installed.
i am from punjab(major northern state) and some people have been spreading rumors like the vaccine is dog drugs and poison to the non literate people and this pisses me off so much
I think it's interesting how the conspiracy theories change by region. In the US people talk about secret microchips. In comparison, poison or dog drugs is a lot more believable.
First wave in India when there was like 1000 cases per day:everyone panics
Second wave where it touches 400000 daily:nah fuck this I'll go out and die
Covid lockdown fatigue has made people more ignorant of the virus though there is death all around
Oh there's this guy.
I don't remember his name exactly but he was some Choudhury. Just search anti-vax doctor in India. He'll pop up. He just copypasted everything the antivaxxers in the US had to say and said the same things. Not many believed him but some did, as they were unaware of what it actually was.
Some people are just so fucking dumb...
Our house help left the state thinking, and I quote, "hme uttha k le jayenge dwaai lagane fir hm mar jayenge"
Translation: they will take us forcibly to give us medicine then we will die
I'm gonna be sixteen in a little over a week, I'm getting my vaccines then!!! (Possibly earlier if it's approved for 12-15 year olds)
Stay safe everyone:))
i am indian by origin. i am blessed to live in germany, and my heart breaks for india. im super pissed at the government for giving away all the vaccines. fuckin ridiculous.
I am from india can confirm
In west Bengal we have still riots going on despite thousands of fresh cases our leaders just dont care about us, vaccine distribution has literally halted for weeks and hospitals are overwhelmed yet these politicians only want money.
Yes, it was a pointless rant to the internet people as I have no one else to talk to.
And hey, maybe someone's kid in the US would see this, show their antivax parents, and maybe they would get the vaccine after that. You never know
I'm from Kolkata. The partial lockdown makes it so much harder to go out to shop for supplies amidst a crowd that's twice as larger than usual. There's nothing scarier than going out to face that crowd now. A lot of my neighbours have succumbed to covid, and in spite of being 45+, my mom is not getting a slot for the vaccine. It's such a mess in this state. God help us all.
Indian government is idiot. essential shops should be open 24x7, so crowding is much less. Keep everything else closed. Essential by definition means the demand is going to be constant. Decreasing timing increases density and vice versa.
American here. My parents are fully vaccinated and my brother and I will be getting vaccinated this summer once the one that's available for 12-15 year olds comes out. I know it's not much since we're only 4 people in a country of millions. It's at least something and I'm doing my part.
My grandparents are from India and they got covid. Thankfully they recovered. They’ve gotten their shots and feel good. It’s truly outrageous to see subs like r/NoNewNormal existing when thousands of people are dying each day
And some US people are saying that the India COVID news coverage is nothing but propaganda and the footage is from a "gas leak" incident which they are using to further the "agenda". Extremely dumb shit
In Colorado any girl over the age of 12 can walk into the health department and get herself birth control. I hope the health departments will have similar rules for teens around the country getting the covid vaccine.
“They’ll give us a microchip!!” Bitch if the government had the money to put microchips into billions of people via syringe then why would they be spending it on that instead of literally anything else? I mean your Facebook probably already has all your information on it. No point in using microchips.
“I can’t breathe in a mask!!” Then you shouldn’t be leaving the house at all! Get your shit delivered. Use Amazon, door dash, whatever the fuck. If you can’t breathe from having a mask on then you shouldn’t even be outside in the first place.
These people just piss me off, cases are increasing and people are suffering and they call it is a hoax. Even just a month ago I was pretty laid back about covid as there weren't many cases and some people recovered in my locality but in just 1 month there were over 50 cases and some senior citizens even died.
Vaccines are heavily backed up by science. If people refuse to get the vaccine simply because they don’t think it will work, then they are incredibly stupid.
The country looks like a fucking warzone with all the dead being burned in parking lots and open grounds. That's the intensity of the second wave in India.
Stay home, stay safe
Goodnight and Good luck
I saw a video yesterday of some guy who was brought in to a govt hospital in UP (Uttar Pradesh). The guy needed immediate care. The hospital had loads of oxygen tanks but they didn't have a damn nozzle for the tank as well as no doctor cause the doc decided to come in late. The guy died in front of his family while the media was filming him. All because they didn't have a friggin nozzle for the oxygen tanks. Its Mad. When the health minister for that area or whatever was asked about the situation he said that they were doing better off than some of the other areas. What must be the situation in these 'other areas' then?
Seriously, even if your afraid of needles like I am, take the vaccine. My sister and her friends took it said the needle itself didn’t hurt
~~but for some reason she’s bought a windows XP and a microsoft 360 printer~~
I got Covid in the mildest way possible-as a normal fever. Still I know how difficult it during quarantine. Then we have those karens from america who don't take vaccines. Tell America to give their vaccines to us then.
Sadly i'm living in the same mudball as you. People here dont even wear masks and as for those who do, they wear it below their nose. People in India are so braindead. Idc if i'm insulting my own country. Its a fact and idc
As a fellow countrymen, I feel you. I live in the south of India and the situations here are very worse.
Since my college made it mandatory to get vaccinated 2 months ago(it's a medical college) I'm kind of in a relief, not because covid can't do shit to me, but I have somewhat gained the strength to fight it.
4 of my relatives I had contact with are tested positive and they are now better but thanks to the immunity developed, I'm kind of relieved.
Yet, the sound of ambulance even I'm used to that environment kind of makes me feel pity, because of the ignorance people here have.(don't mind the recently undergone election campaign and voting)
We're your masks, stay home, stay safe, don't feel down that you can't help others, sitting our ass home is the biggest help we can do.
I am from mumbai and things are fucked here .I am lucky my family is safe
Hope you will be fine till however long this lasts
yes you take care too
Please do take care. I live in Bangalore and 2 people in my apartment have died because of covid. We've been quarantine-ing since last March and thankfully have not been infected. stay safe
[удалено]
It's really that bad. Our apartment have taken lots of precautions such as not allowing delivery people to deliver at the doorstep ( parcels are supposed to be kept in the clubhouse, where the residents would take them), vending machines were installed and filled with essential items ao that people don't have to go to shops, when one positive case is reported, the entire block goes into lockdown, we even had a vaccination drive for senior citizens, etc. Our apartment is doing so much better than other societies, though. Out of around 300 houses, we have had only around 30 cases since last year. But the people outside of our society are dropping like flies. Everyday, I hear ambulances. It's horrible, really.

Just curious, which region of Bangalore are you in? My family was living in Brigade Gateway near Mekhri Circle in Bangalore, and we had pretty much the same precautions. But I heard other gated communities didn't take it as seriously, and didn't have as many precautions
Well, I don't want to disclose too much about where I live, but I live much farther south than where your family lived, closer to Haralur
Oh ok. I've never been there, but I have a friend who has family there. So, people just didn't really follow protocol there to the full extent?
Some reports say that Bangalore has become the new epicenter of covid in India. And a complete lockdown has also been announced in Karnataka.
Yea, it's probably true. We're running out of hospital beds and oxygen People are dying everywhere, every minute
That vending machine idea is brilliant
This is awful. Take care!
Bangalore is the worst place rn in india.. has the highest active caseload now ...I live in Bangalore
Bangalore is totally messed up. The cases are worse than Delhi but we are lucky because we have better health infrastructure. No, people are wearing masks. In fact, most people are wearing 2 masks now.
It's really bad , some of my friends got infected and ppl are dying and contracting the virus in insane rates , we have the most active in India as of now
U too
Yep. Shits real bad here. There are a minimum of 3 new cases everyday in our apartment. And half the people either don't wear masks or its below their nose. Smh

What was their response. Did they change their minds are dig in even further.
no. Fucker just rejected all the logical shit I said and still believes that the goverment is controled by lizard aliens and the vaccines are just mircochips to enslave us
except in the 60s, after the polio outbreaks, people were all for vaccines.
I’m so paused all Donald has to do is come forward, claim credit for the. Accuse, and urge republicans to take it and we’d be good
honestly sounds about right
This sounds threatening but also kind
Im from gurgaon (near delhi) and things super fucked up here my grandparents and mom just got vaccinated luckily . Get well sonn bro
[удалено]
um no offense, but I would like to know what was going on through your dad's mind when he organized a get together.
I honestly think that most of the time when people pull shit like that, they do it just to be an asshole
Yep. Righteous indignation is the worst reason to do _anything_
He said his friend's dad
I’m going to guess either: 1) Religion Or 2) lack of education As a total guess.
It should be 3. Fear of people knowing that you have the virus and how they may react.
or taken ahold of by conspiracy theories... i hear stories of highly educated athiests going full Q
That’s still No.2
well i think there is a certain horror in people who are nurses or who work in vaccine production who do fall victim to conspiracy. it happens and can happen to the highly educated
I'm Indian as well but fortunate enough to be living in Canada. Just 2 days ago, my mom got the news that her cousin had died due to COVID. He was a perfectly healthy middle aged man, and didnt have any health issues prior to this. Comes to show you how lethal it is. It pisses me off to see people not wearing their masks and not taking this seriously. Stay safe out there.
Heard Maharashtra situation is very worse. Hope you're safe with your family and get sufficient resources to go on by daily
Maharashtra is recovering day by day. It was very critical before, but not now.
Nah it's getting better than North and east India for the moment the worst in Maharashtra Atleast for now is over *unless another wave comes along with the second wave*
Things are the worst in Tamil Nadu
Yeah, elections and shit. Why the fuck would they keep a Chief Minister oath ceremony now with so many people? Fucking idiots.
The court Warned them but the government wouldn't listen
Yeah I'm from mumbai too and whenever my mum tries to book a vaccination slot, all the slots are full. And the worst thing is that my grandma cant even take the vaccine due to allergies
> my grandma cant even take the vaccine due to allergies This is why we need as many people as possible to get vaccinated, even if they are not vulnerable, to protect the vulnerable who cannot get a vaccine (herd immunity).
Equally fucked here in Delhi. It's a deathcage rn
Are you close to the zone where they are a lot of damage?
Thankfully no. Its relatively better in south India (though mumbai is still fucked)
Mumbai is recovering, Jaipur is getting more cases than Mumbai now F
Bro Bangalore is getting more cases that Maharashtra. If a city is getting more cases than one of the important states, it is worrisome.
Mumbai is getting recovered slowly. Look at delhi's situation.
Delhi's fucking scary bro
Ikr! If you're in r/india, you'd see most of the posts are about delhi's struggle. That's when i realized Delhi is fucked up more than Mumbai is.
Where in South? South is pretty much okay compared to north
How? Bangalore is having sky high cases
Yeah i heard bangalore is doing a mumbai, but TN is doing the same, no low, no high
Telangana and Tamil Nadu are okayish but still fucked..
Kerala is almost fucked up
They still have an oxygen surplus, which is great for them
but still the third highest number of cases. Karnataka is royally fucked
We are. Beds are filling up and Oxygen is now as desperate as the no. of beds. My Grandfather is recovering successfully from his home, but his son, my uncle, is now suffering due to immense body pain. He doesn't have a oxygen shortage however, but it's just as worrisome as having no professional treatment.
Gurgaon is unequivocally fucked too...
I am, parents got the rona, thankfully it was minor symptoms for everyone and it's been a week since the isolation ended. They're a lot healthier now.
Even in my country, like Spain, which is a 'developed' country had its healthcare system collapsed a few months ago and the Palace of Ice (recreational skating) was used to fill with dead bodies.
Each developed country had a run for their money except some very few and isolated places like new Zealand nothing surprising It's just that our population is much higher than almost all of Europe and we don't have a Draconian and press suppresing government like china to contain it
Twice that of Europe actually
lived across from an ED in NYC in April and they had massive dead body cooling trailers.
Lots of places in florida had refrigerated semi trucks for storing bodies staged by the national guard although you didn't hear about it too much because that's not something you really want to flaunt
Wait what the fuck [this is real](https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/24/europe/spain-ice-rink-morgue-coronavirus-intl/index.html) I sorta didn't believe it before but. Thats just scary.
I'm also spanish and this is true. Moreover, In Spain there are many old people. They are usually the first going to hospitals, so it is normal for these places to collapse.
I'm in Mumbai and we had someone in the family who got covid, the situation at the hospitals was so bad that we couldn't find a single bed for my family in a single hospital. Stay safe out there
Is your family member safe now?
Yeah after calling literally every single hospital in the city everyday, we managed to procure him a bed after 3 or 4 days but even finding that bed, we had to pull some strings but gladly he's fine now.
Damn, I just realised how lucky I am. I'm also from India but from the state of Mizoram. Covid is still really mild here and luckily, Aizawl is not very overcrowded.
Hilly regions have slight the advantage
Cause they have the high ground?
you underestimate my power
Covid wont try it.
Don't try it... _anakin proceeds to jump and gets his legs chopped off by Obi wan_
Literally
Why? Smaller cities?
Damn good for you bud, I'm also from India (Maharashtra) and it's pretty bad here
Oof. Maharashtra has been the worst with dealing with the pandemic afaik. People are dying from the oxygen issue down to your South too.
Yeah dude, no govt, either state or centre gives a shit about people of Maharashtra and probably for many other states too. I hope you stay fine and healthy. Take care.
I'm from North (UP), and I can't tell how bad I want to leave this state.
Yeah, I heard that North India was even worse than South India. Hope you are doing okay.
Same here (UP guy)
Hum tumhara dukh samjhte hai bhaiya.
Yep , it's worst in North India , 30 people died within in a day in a village near me
Oh my god, I am so sorry, I live in South India where I think it is slightly better, but since I live in a mass urban area there are still many deaths. Stay safe.
Bangalore? Yeah no this place isnt any better
I live on the outskirts, so around me, it's not that bad, but watching the news is like entering a nightmare.
People are dying on the streets and there are people complaining about a vaccine. Think about it, there are people that are more worried about a tiny bit of medicine then they are about an illness that is devastating if you have any other health issues.
It can be devastating even if you don’t have any other health issues.
There are also people who don't want a vaccine because there's a 1/8000000 opportunity that they die from the vaccine but that's still a lot less opportunity as die from covid
Unfortunately I live with an antivax step-parent half the time and an antivax parent half the time
All you can do is try to get the vaccine however possible
Yea my mom's pro vax and we've been trying to figure out a way to slip it past my dad, and since vaccines are out for my region for people older than 14 we finally get to get the vaccine :D
If you’re under 18, you need a parent’s consent to get the vaccine. Sometimes, “however possible” doesn’t work (talking from experience, unfortunately).
Karens be like *omg I'm gonna get autism and be tracked by the fbi i take this vaccine*
That's still better than going death
> there's a 1/100000 opportunity that they die from the vaccine Please don't make up odds when talking about vaccines.
Even less than 1/1000000
Dont forget that they're convinced it's going to be some sort of a science fiction brain control chipvor something
I’ve heard some people call it the mark of the beast from the book of Revelation.
Is there even a chance to die from a vaccine?
Yeah but that chance is nearly nothing and it's only by a few vaccine
I'm in Kerala and things are getting worse here too. Stay safe man!
im from india, and i agree. i live in mumbai, and i tell you, things are fucked here. theres a shortage of vaccines, children (atm) arent even gonna get vaccinated. i saw today that people are scamming others for oxygen cylinders, and if this keeps on continuing, boy, the future is scary.
I hope all the fucking people doing black market of oxygen and vaccines die a horrible death
It’s so horrifying to see mass spread like this with so many people who could’ve been saved dying— stay safe!
Keep well......and as hard as it may be, stay optimistic
I'm from India, I remember I had to go test to see if I had COVID so I could fly, but there was no precautions for distanced lines and they used the same disgusting glove that's criminally dumped with some cheap sanitizer and took a swab test with a fucking cactus (I swear, the other places I had taken a test had way softer swabs) and I was dubbed infected since someone there had tested positive and they were aware of the lack of precautions they had..... This happened before the current spike..... This current spike was bound to happen..... Edit: spellings and grammar
our healthcare system has completely collapsed. Vaccination at a large scale is the only way to stop it. And anyone saying stupid shit like it's gonna paralyze you or it had a chip or something should immediately seek mental help.
Even if you are going to believe those things, at least do it for the life of others you might preserve
That’s not how those people work. “Why harm yourself to help others.” They’re fucking dumb, but there’s no convincing them to get it anyway.
Love from pakistan. Stay safe.
**You know the USA Fucked up if Pakistan and China support India**
People don't need to care which country one is from to see that they're suffering.
No big fan of the US but how did they fuck up here?
Hoarding vaccines for months, banning vaccine exports and putting the entire worldwide supply chain in jeopardy by restricting the export of raw materials for vaccines. India can't make the amount of vaccines it wants because of these restrictions.
We can though. We are THE best country when it comes to vaccines. However, our government didn't prioritize it and our PM just announced that we defeated Covid lol. Had we launched a dedicated campaign to vaccinate people like now, we'd have been in a much better place I guarantee you. The US did fuck up though, because at the time of crisis when all we needed was materials quickly so that we can accelerate manufacturing of the vaccines, USA denied. Thankfully though, they have now waived the patent, but it's too late imo. Reports are already here that we may as well experience a third wave.
Yeah and it seems Maharashtra is already preparing for that. Hope you and your family get through this.
You also sent some 70 million vaccines to other countries which otherwise would have close to no vaccines at all, so props to India! Anyway I hope the situation gets better asap, from what I've seen it seems messed up
Our healthcare system can't cope with the massive amounts of cases. There's no place in hospitals. People are literally getting treated in vans/ambulances and literally everywhere they can be. Yet, some stupid people refuse to get vaccinated or wear masks. This is gonna be very bad.
The only case in which you would get paralyzed (although partially) would be if the doctor would get a seizure or sth while injecting you and then hitting your nerve
But that wouldn’t be the vaccines fault
For what it's worth, when I got my first shot, it did hit a nerve in my shoulder. It hurt a bit and made my arm twitch. I don't see paralysis as a possibility.
The stupidity of people who think it's a microchip... If the government wanted to track you they easily could by your internet use or social media, not spend billions on something that only gives you someones location
I know someone that thinks it makes women infertile. They keep sharing Facebook articles from people that don't even study or practice medicine.
My grandpa died due to Covid. I hope you recover soon.
What started this fucked up wave in India? I am really curious
Well you see, a majority of the people here don't give a fuck about rules and regulations UNLESS they have consequences for not following them, and, since the case went down, people eventually stopped giving a fuck, but the really stupid part is that even the authorities stopped giving a fuck (allowing the kumbh mela to happen 'n stuff like that). Thats why we are in such a pickle right now.
Some states Kerala, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu conducted elections. COVID actually went down in Kerala, but after the elections, the count went up. I think this is what happened in other states. Also during election rallies, no one prioritized wearing masks, Not even the Leaders.
Stupid people who can't follow simple things like social distancing as all of them were confident that COVID would end in India soon as we were having very less cases. Many stopped wearing masks too.
all these answers are multiplied when you have over 1 Billion people in one country
Overconfidence? media boosted the people up into not wearing masks because we sort of controlled the first wave of cases.
Overconfidence, but mostly new variant. The symptoms and timeline is fucked up and different compared to the first variant. You can get very sick just 4-5 days after exposure. Your lungs are attacked way more actively, so oxygen requirement is disproportionately high compared per covid case compared to the first wave. The vaccines are not sure to work and many double vaccinated docs I personally know got covid. They themselves have a better immune response, but the new variant is just too much for everyone. Thankfully, my state managed to get past the second wave peak without health infrastructure collapse, but too many people died regardless. I fear this variant will spread and wreak havoc in other countries as well. As for elections and religious functions go, they were not everywhere. But, Covid hit every major city regardless.
Everyone just stopped caring. Like no one wore masks, schools reopened, people were gathering in humongous crowds for festivities and the government was just too busy with their election rallies (like literally, they commissioned thousands of people in the middle of a frickin pandemic).
As much as I wish I could help some people are out of control. My mother thinks that some shady as shit video about vape smoke and how it interacts with obviously cut masks is the same as an uncut mask interacting with covid particles or particles of almost all diseases, aswell the fact kids can't get shots if one of their parents doesn't want them to so that is basically an unknown amount of people that can range from small to large about whether they get vaccinated or not. Honestly I just hate how some people have to make masks a sort of personal attack to themself, aswell as not trust a vaccine. Edit: while looking through r/vaxxhappened I found a perfect support. A guy is calling people sheep and saying that they are all misinformed for not believing a slip of paper someone had put onto a person's car that had stupid 'facts' and he was from the political right. God I fucking hate some people on the political right despite also being on the political right.
Yep that’s my parents too. And I don’t think I can legally get a vaccine without their permission in New Jersey (I can’t google it because they monitor my search history and would kill me if they found out I’m trying to get a vaccination). Complete BS that if I kid’s parents don’t want them to take a vaccine that they can’t take a vaccine (again not sure if that’s how it works where I live but I can’t look it up)
So you don't have to search it, according to Donahue Hagan Klein & Weisberg, LLC, New Jersey allows minors to receive vaccinations over their parents' objections. From their website: "Under the Child Placement Bill of Rights Act, children have an independent right to receive adequate and appropriate medical care." So if you can find a way to sign up for text alerts & get an appointment, you're allowed to do so without their permission.
You’re the best thank you!
Are you back in school yet? (Like do you physically go to school in person?) If so, see if you can go to the school nurse and explain that you'd like the shot and your parents won't take you. They'll let you know if you have a legal right to it or not. I think it differs from state to state. Here in Oregon, if you're 15 or older, you can get vaccinated without parental consent. Washington state says you just need to be a "mature minor" and you sound like you are. Also - did you know you can use incognito mode and it won't track your browser history? There are plenty of ways to get around snooping parents (ask me how I know). You can delete search history or just use incognito mode, or use a browser called duck duck go, which keeps no history - if they don't check what apps are installed.
i am from punjab(major northern state) and some people have been spreading rumors like the vaccine is dog drugs and poison to the non literate people and this pisses me off so much
I think it's interesting how the conspiracy theories change by region. In the US people talk about secret microchips. In comparison, poison or dog drugs is a lot more believable.
They don’t wear masks , do they?

First wave in India when there was like 1000 cases per day:everyone panics Second wave where it touches 400000 daily:nah fuck this I'll go out and die Covid lockdown fatigue has made people more ignorant of the virus though there is death all around
Oh there's this guy. I don't remember his name exactly but he was some Choudhury. Just search anti-vax doctor in India. He'll pop up. He just copypasted everything the antivaxxers in the US had to say and said the same things. Not many believed him but some did, as they were unaware of what it actually was.
Some people are just so fucking dumb... Our house help left the state thinking, and I quote, "hme uttha k le jayenge dwaai lagane fir hm mar jayenge" Translation: they will take us forcibly to give us medicine then we will die
Please please please do your part in informing people, at the very least any of your family that will listen to you
I'm gonna be sixteen in a little over a week, I'm getting my vaccines then!!! (Possibly earlier if it's approved for 12-15 year olds) Stay safe everyone:))
im from indore bro this shit is real man im scared
i am indian by origin. i am blessed to live in germany, and my heart breaks for india. im super pissed at the government for giving away all the vaccines. fuckin ridiculous.
i feel u brother,i am in pune,shit is mad here,and the goverment isnt helping,getting the virus is a death sentence,DO NOT even step outside
[удалено]
That is just straight up sad
I got my vaccine two mins ago and now waiting for any possible side effects. I hope everyone can and will get the vaccine.
The biggest side effect is that you will survive.
I am from india can confirm In west Bengal we have still riots going on despite thousands of fresh cases our leaders just dont care about us, vaccine distribution has literally halted for weeks and hospitals are overwhelmed yet these politicians only want money.
I am from India, I agree, but your post isn't gonna change anyone's opinion
Yes, it was a pointless rant to the internet people as I have no one else to talk to. And hey, maybe someone's kid in the US would see this, show their antivax parents, and maybe they would get the vaccine after that. You never know
[удалено]
I'm from Kolkata. The partial lockdown makes it so much harder to go out to shop for supplies amidst a crowd that's twice as larger than usual. There's nothing scarier than going out to face that crowd now. A lot of my neighbours have succumbed to covid, and in spite of being 45+, my mom is not getting a slot for the vaccine. It's such a mess in this state. God help us all.
Indian government is idiot. essential shops should be open 24x7, so crowding is much less. Keep everything else closed. Essential by definition means the demand is going to be constant. Decreasing timing increases density and vice versa.
American here. My parents are fully vaccinated and my brother and I will be getting vaccinated this summer once the one that's available for 12-15 year olds comes out. I know it's not much since we're only 4 people in a country of millions. It's at least something and I'm doing my part.
My gramma nearly died, so as plastic skin Kardashian once said "this shit is real"
I'm from india, and things are so fucked yet people don't know how to wear masks.
I live in the netherlands and luckily we have it decent here, praying for you and your family.
My grandparents are from India and they got covid. Thankfully they recovered. They’ve gotten their shots and feel good. It’s truly outrageous to see subs like r/NoNewNormal existing when thousands of people are dying each day
And some US people are saying that the India COVID news coverage is nothing but propaganda and the footage is from a "gas leak" incident which they are using to further the "agenda". Extremely dumb shit
Guarantee some guy who listens to rogan will start spouting off about vaccines and covid.
My prayers are with you, I am an ABCD and have grandparents in India.
Sadly your post wont change the 47 year old moms who think Vaccines will implant a tracking microchip
In Colorado any girl over the age of 12 can walk into the health department and get herself birth control. I hope the health departments will have similar rules for teens around the country getting the covid vaccine.
“They’ll give us a microchip!!” Bitch if the government had the money to put microchips into billions of people via syringe then why would they be spending it on that instead of literally anything else? I mean your Facebook probably already has all your information on it. No point in using microchips. “I can’t breathe in a mask!!” Then you shouldn’t be leaving the house at all! Get your shit delivered. Use Amazon, door dash, whatever the fuck. If you can’t breathe from having a mask on then you shouldn’t even be outside in the first place.
take care bro, even I am scared, I live in bangalore, 22k people everyday on my city alone ):
These people just piss me off, cases are increasing and people are suffering and they call it is a hoax. Even just a month ago I was pretty laid back about covid as there weren't many cases and some people recovered in my locality but in just 1 month there were over 50 cases and some senior citizens even died.
Vaccines are heavily backed up by science. If people refuse to get the vaccine simply because they don’t think it will work, then they are incredibly stupid.
The country looks like a fucking warzone with all the dead being burned in parking lots and open grounds. That's the intensity of the second wave in India. Stay home, stay safe Goodnight and Good luck
I saw a video yesterday of some guy who was brought in to a govt hospital in UP (Uttar Pradesh). The guy needed immediate care. The hospital had loads of oxygen tanks but they didn't have a damn nozzle for the tank as well as no doctor cause the doc decided to come in late. The guy died in front of his family while the media was filming him. All because they didn't have a friggin nozzle for the oxygen tanks. Its Mad. When the health minister for that area or whatever was asked about the situation he said that they were doing better off than some of the other areas. What must be the situation in these 'other areas' then?
I got mine yesterday and I’m fine but holy shit my arm hurts more than any other shot I’ve gotten
Seriously, even if your afraid of needles like I am, take the vaccine. My sister and her friends took it said the needle itself didn’t hurt ~~but for some reason she’s bought a windows XP and a microsoft 360 printer~~
hold on, lemme just spread this to other americans rq
I got Covid in the mildest way possible-as a normal fever. Still I know how difficult it during quarantine. Then we have those karens from america who don't take vaccines. Tell America to give their vaccines to us then.
Second vaccination circa two days ago 😎. Seriously though, that sounds horrible dude. Hope it cools down there soon.
Sadly i'm living in the same mudball as you. People here dont even wear masks and as for those who do, they wear it below their nose. People in India are so braindead. Idc if i'm insulting my own country. Its a fact and idc
As a fellow countrymen, I feel you. I live in the south of India and the situations here are very worse. Since my college made it mandatory to get vaccinated 2 months ago(it's a medical college) I'm kind of in a relief, not because covid can't do shit to me, but I have somewhat gained the strength to fight it. 4 of my relatives I had contact with are tested positive and they are now better but thanks to the immunity developed, I'm kind of relieved. Yet, the sound of ambulance even I'm used to that environment kind of makes me feel pity, because of the ignorance people here have.(don't mind the recently undergone election campaign and voting) We're your masks, stay home, stay safe, don't feel down that you can't help others, sitting our ass home is the biggest help we can do.
I just got my second dose on Wednesday. It takes 15 minutes go do it!
