Health Workers Turn Cars Into Temporary ICUs For Patients As India Struggles With COVID-19 Spike
CARS TEMPORARY ICUs – India continues to struggle against its massive spike in COVID-19 cases.
Last week, India reported more than 2,200 daily deaths due to the virus. Furthermore, it reached an all-time-high recorded cases at 332k. This led to India’s health care systems becoming overwhelmed.
As such, patients are now left on the streets as hospitals are at max capacity. Instead of heading straight to the ICUs, health workers try desperately to treat patients inside their cars.
Here is a snippet of what’s transpiring in India at the moment posted on social media site, Reddit:

“COVID situation in India is getting worse, this video seems to have been taken in streets of Delhi where patients family members are giving them oxygen while they were in the vehicles, largely because virtually every hospital is out of bed and there is a lack of Oxygen, got this video from friends in India.“
“There is no room in hospitals. People are being treated with oxygen sitting in cars on the street. If you’re not sick enough to be near dead you’re forced to be treated on the street. Hospitals are over run.“
