#CoronaInDelhi. Delhi can't be left to the mercy of God; urgent intervention needed



Delhi can't be left to the mercy of God; urgent intervention is needed to save lives of millions of people.

Situation reaches alarming level in Delhi; Delhi now having second highest active cases(14456) after Maharashtra(39935) but much higher than other states like, Tamil Nadu(12135); Gujarat(4779).

Situation getting worrisome in Delhi everyday. Cases are on rise, number of active cases highest after Maharashtra despite very low testing rate(avg testing varying between 506 to maxm 2018 per million people in various districts of Delhi) but positivity  rate reaching 25.7%(per 100 people tested), official death figure reaches 650, despite several  allegations for several weeks that Delhi Govt is hiding death figure, due to corona. 


Despite the above, beds for corona patients are not available in Delhi Govt hospitals. Most of the patients have to quarantine at their homes. Even many serious patients due to lack of beds are not getting admission in hospitals and are losing their lives.

In a nutshell, situation in Delhi has reached alarming level and situation is getting worrisome with each passing day. However, instead of tackling the situation, Delhi CM still is more interested in his publicity and is interested in showing his face on national TV channels frequently  on one pretext or another. Instead of handling situation, Delhi Govt is trying to issue gag orders to Pvt labs so that there are lesser testing, so that lesser number of corona cases are reported. It may be noted that for last several weeks, there has been allegations that  Delhi Govt has been hiding actual death figures due to corona. In order to deflect attention from his failures, Delhi CM has again embarked on the path of  confrontation, sometimes sealing the borders, sometimes doubting data of RML Hospital on corona, sometimes asking for money from centre to pay salary to Delhi Govt staff etc.

To sum up, situation in Delhi has become very alarming and is likely to worsen further and as Delhi Govt is unable to tackle the situation, some intervention is immediately needed and lives of millions of people can't be left to the mercy of totally inept Delhi Govt.
