Bed allocation for patients is done through the city's 24 war rooms.
I learnt-strict triaging (assigning degree of urgency/severity of condition) is only way to ensure those that need beds get them

Thank you
@madversity
for spotting it! Allow me a shameless promotional line: it's a story of the farmers, by the farmers. I am only a vessel. I'd like to imagine it's accessible, engaging for a general readership, on a subject we need to know more about.

This is so important. Routine immunization has suffered everywhere.
शाहीन का जन्म लॉकडाउन से ठीक पहले 12 मार्च को हुआ. शाहीन की मां अपनी बेटी को बुरी नजर से बचाने को माथे पर काला टीका तो लगाती हैं, लेकिन बीमारियों से बचाने वाला एक भी टीका 7 महीने की शाहीन को नहीं लगा है.

This thread just made my day.
At the Mumbai airport security check yesterday, a CRPF cop raised my flute case and said- ‘ye aapka hai? Kuch baat karni hai’
Considering my terrible history with airport security all over the world, my heart sank. I was like here we go again, i just hope I don’t miss my flight.

I picked up
@iyerkavi
's 'Landscapes of Loss: The Story of an Indian drought' because
@AparnaKarthi
described it as "Superb reporting. Terrific writing".
She was absolutely right. It is a brilliant book.
One I wish everyone would read.

A little less than special. A solitary woman.
After a sumptuous breakfast, leaders of eleven Opposition parties spoke briefly about the importance of unity in Parliament and on the ground in the struggle against the anti-people policies & undemocratic actions of the BJP government. We are witnessing something special here.
