India recorded 349,691 new cases on Sunday, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/india-coronavirus-cases-set-new-global-record-us-readies-help-2021-04-25/">smashing a global record for a fourth consecutive day</a>. Hospitals are being overrun and medical supplies are in short supply. Vaccinations have also been few and far between in the world's second-most populous country, with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/?sref=Hhue1scO">less than 2% of the population fully immunized</a>.India provides the most glaring example of the inequity in vaccine distribution, where rich nations have bought up the vast majority of supply. In the US, 53% of all adults have received at least one dose and 36% are fully vaccinated. The rate of infections and deaths have fallen by about 75% since January peaks, and much of the US has already started to reopen. Perhaps the sharpest contrast between the two countries is shown in the latest US vaccination figures. The seven-day average of number of shots being given daily in the US is down 17% from a recent peak of 3.35 million. Evercore ISI analysts attribute the decline to "softening demand," as experts anticipate the US campaign is now inflecting from a supply to a demand challenge.Public-health experts and doctors are now urging the US to do much more in assisting India. In particular, they are urging the Biden administration to relax restrictions on exporting raw materials needed for vaccines and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/astrazeneca-coronavirus-vaccine-has-murky-future-in-us-2021-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">to donate doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine</a>, which is not authorized in the US.The US government signed a deal with AstraZeneca last summer to eventually deliver 300 million doses of the shot. The US already has <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/us/politics/coronavirus-astrazeneca-united-states.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">at least 30 million of those doses on hand</a>, a supply which experts say would be best used by donating to other nations that need it."We need to get these doses donated to countries where supply is limited. Immediately. They do absolutely no good to anyone just sitting on a shelf," <a href="https://twitter.com/Craig_A_Spencer/status/1386168956768108547">said</a> Dr. Craig Spencer, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Columbia University's medical center. "Donating money isn't enough. Committing to future initiatives isn't either."In <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/24/indias-coronavirus-surge-could-collapse-its-health-system-us-can-help/">an opinion piece published Saturday in The Washington Post</a>, Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public <keyword id="6354750" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="health">Health</keyword>, called for the US to help India scale up testing, establish field hospitals, provide more medical supplies like oxygen, and donate vaccine doses. "The United States has strategic interests in helping India weather the pandemic; it is also the right thing to do," Jha wrote. "Only the United States has the capacity, resources and technical know-how to bend the curve of India's catastrophic second wave of disease. The faster we assist our ally, the more lives will be saved."<h2>Top US officials respond, vow to take action</h2>Under the increased pressure, top US officials have vowed to help India, but details have yet to be made public. "Our hearts go out to the Indian people in the midst of the horrific COVID-19 outbreak," Anthony Blinken, US Secretary of State, <a href="https://twitter.com/SecBlinken/status/1386148447179493380">wrote Saturday night on Twitter</a>. "We are working closely with our partners in the Indian government, and we will rapidly deploy additional support to the people of India and India's health care heroes."Part of the hesitation in donating vaccine doses has been uncertainty over the viral variants that are present in India, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious-disease expert and Biden's chief medical advisor.Certain variants can partially evade the protection given by vaccines. For instance, AstraZeneca's shot appeared to be particularly less protective against the B.1.351 variant first identified in South Africa, <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2102214">according to a 2,000-person clinical trial</a>. "They have a situation there where there are variants that have arisen," Fauci said Friday at a White House COVID-19 task force briefing. "We have not yet fully characterized the variants and the relationship between the ability of the vaccines to protect. But we're assuming, clearly, that they need vaccines."

Pressure is building on Biden to send vaccine doses to India, as the country breaks global records with COVID-19 outbreak

The announcement came after a call between President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Biden "pledged America's steadfast support for the people of India who have been impacted by the recent surge in COVID-19 cases," a White House readout of the call said. "The United States is providing a range of emergency assistance, including oxygen-related supplies, vaccine materials, and therapeutics," the readout added. "Prime Minister Modi expressed appreciation for the strong cooperation between both countries. The two leaders resolved that the United States and India will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the effort to protect our citizens and the health of our communities."After more than a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, India has emerged as the latest hotspot. India reported 352,991 new COVID-19 cases on Monday - a global record <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/covid-india-cases-rising-record-infections-coronavirus-2021-4">for the fifth straight day in a row</a>. It's recorded more than 17 million cases in total, and over 195,000 confirmed deaths from the virus, <a href="https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html">per Johns Hopkins</a>.

"India, the world's largest democracy, is now the epicenter of the pandemic and on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe ... The Biden administration must clear the path to sending our excess supply of vaccines to India and other countries in crisis," Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/24/indias-coronavirus-surge-could-collapse-its-health-system-us-can-help/">wrote in The Washington Post</a> on Saturday. "The United States has, according to some estimates, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/us/politics/coronavirus-astrazeneca-united-states.html">at least 30 million unused doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine </a>that the FDA has not yet authorized.

We should lend them to India now," Jha added.

US will send oxygen supplies, vaccine material, and therapeutics to India as its COVID-19 outbreak surges

Moscow, Apr 12 () All the major military contracts, including the deliveries of S-400 air defence missile systems, between Russia and India will be on schedule and the coronavirus pandemic will have no effect on their timeframe, according to India's top diplomat here."I don't think there will be any impact. There has been slight dislocation of a couple of weeks but all the major contracts will be on schedule, we don't anticipate any problem on that," Indian Ambassador to Russia Bala Venkatesh Varma was quoted as saying by the TASS news agency on Saturday.In October 2018, India had signed a USD 5 billion deal with Russia to buy five units of the S-400 air defence missile systems, notwithstanding warning from the Trump administration that going ahead with the contract may invite US sanctions.Last year, India made the first tranche of payment of around USD 800 million to Russia for the missile systems.In February, Deputy Director of the Russia's Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), Vladimir Drozhzhov, said that Moscow will begin the delivery of the S-400 surface-to-air missile systems to India by the end of 2021 and there will be no delay in execution of the project."We will fulfil our delivery commitments," Drozhzhov had said, adding that the defence cooperation between the two countries is very robust.The 'Triumf' interceptor-based missile system can destroy incoming hostile aircraft, missiles and even drones at ranges of up to 400 km.The S-400 is known as Russia's most advanced long-range surface-to-air missile defence system.Russia plans to complete the delivery of the fifth regimental set in the first half of 2025.The US had imposed sanctions on Russia under the stringent Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). The law also provides for punitive action against countries purchasing defence hardware from Russia. ZHZH

<ul><li><keyword id="43587" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="pandemic">Pandemic</keyword> originated from Greek word pandemos which in this case means a disease that affects ‘all people’. </li><li>Defining coronavirus as pandemic has nothing to do with how it spreads or its symptoms. </li><li>It is an indication of how quickly it is spreading across countries. </li></ul>On March 11, World Health Organisation said that the novel coronavirus has spread across more than 100 countries and called it a pandemic. As of March 12, there were currently 126,367 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus and 4,633 deaths. Out of the total confirmed cases, 80,796 are from China. India too has quarantined itself by suspending all existing visas from March 13 till April 15. Moreover, the government also imposed Epidemic Diseases Act 1897 — a British-era law used to control plague in late 1800s. Any person who denies to obey government advisory to contain the disease shall be punished. What is a pandemic? According to WHO, pandemic means the ‘worldwide spread of a new disease’. Pandemic originated from Greek word pandemos which means a disease that affects ‘all people’. In simple words, any new disease that has spread across a country, continent or around the world can be categorized as pandemic. Declaration of the novel coronavirus as pandemic has nothing to do with how it spreads or its symptoms. It is an indication of how quickly it is geographically spreading across countries. Pandemic is the highest level in global health emergencies that warns of a disease spreading at a mass level. At first, WHO has been avoiding calling it a pandemic as it might panic people across the world and classified it as a series of epidemics. Outbreak, on the other hand, means a sudden occurance of a disease in a particular time at a particular place. Diseases classified as an outbreak affects a small community. Whereas, epidemic refers to a disease that affects a local region but globally. However, once a disease is declared pandemic, it means it has spread across the world. All governments, health systems and businesses have to take preventive measures <div type="twitter" handle="WHO" handlename="World Health Organization (WHO)" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/875476478988886016/_l61qZdR_normal.jpg" favoritecount="2584" retweetcount="1784" status="&quot;I remind all countries that we are calling on you to (1): -activate &amp; scale up your emergency response mechanisms… https://t.co/PQjpVbpIta" createdat="1583944578000" id="1237779391771443205"></div>

 WHO believes pandemic has to be contained using extensive and aggressive steps. All the countries are urged to “detect, test, treat, isolate, trace and mobilise their people”. The last disease to be called pandemic was H1N1 flu, commonly known as Swine flu, that killed 575,000 people around the world in 2009.

The coronavirus pandemic isn’t the only battle the world faces “This is a reminder that COVID-19 is not he only health threat that people face,” said WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The world’s leading health agency expects more outbreaks of Ebola to emerge in the Republic of Congo in the coming months. It believes the existence of the virus in animal reservoirs of the country puts at risk. Even in India, with the upcoming monsoon, doctors believe that the country will have to battle annual disease like malaria, dengue and chikungunya along with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. “India has proven its dedication to ending malaria, reflected through the diverse involvement in malaria programs of political, government leadership, community leaders and civil society,” said <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/health/news/india-could-see-a-resurgence-of-malaria-as-health-systems-are-busy-containing-covid-19/articleshow/75370206.cms">Sanjeev Gaikwad</a>, India’s country director of Malaria No More. According to the WHO, India has the 5th fifth highest incidence of malaria cases in the world. It reported as many as 430,000 cases of the disease in 2018. However, this time around the country is busy battling the outbreak of coronavirus as numbers continue to rise and experts are uncertain is the requisite precautionary measures against malaria will get any attention. “If these effective programs could start immediately, and safely, after the lockdown is lifted and before the onset of the monsoon rains in early June, India’s progress against malaria can be maintained,” he Gaikwad.
