In the past 24 hours, more than 844,000 corona infections have been reported worldwide, with another 13,700 deaths.

India added 414,000 infected people, of which 3900 died. In Brazil, 72,000 people were infected and about 2500 died.

The WHO report on May 5 stated that in the past week, India's reported new crown cases accounted for 46% of the world's new cases, and the death toll accounted for 25% of the world. If it continues to grow at this rate, the total number of cases in India will soon surpass the United States to become the "world's number one."

There were 8,970 new infections in Nepal, exceeding 8,000 in two consecutive cases. The positive rate was 44%, and 54 people died.

The World Health Organization said that this number may rise further.

In the recent period, although the Nepalese government has taken many measures to prevent and control the epidemic, due to insufficient attention and lack of financial resources, medical conditions and medical equipment are outdated, emergency rescue and rescue cannot keep up, oxygen cylinders, intensive care and beds. Unable to meet needs, leading to increased mortality。

In fact, during the first lockdown period, some people suggested that the Nepalese government could follow the Chinese approach and build no temporary "Fangcang Hospital" in Kathmandu, but no one paid any attention.

After the second major outbreak of the epidemic in India, Nepalese discerning people had long expected that the Indian epidemic would cause great harm and impact to Nepal. The border between Nepal and India is more than 1,800 kilometers, and Nepal has nearly 5 million workers in India. The epidemic in India Under the pressure of the government, once these staff return, it will bring disaster to Nepal. However, the government does not see the danger and remains indifferent.

Under pressure from the society and the public, Nepal took the second measures to close down the country. During the suspension of international flights, the decision to suspend the suspension of flights to India was left. I don't know what the Nepalese government is thinking about?

The day before yesterday, according to this website, "Nepal’s new corona deaths and infections are at a record high. The government has introduced multiple measures to control the rapid spread of the epidemic." There was a text in the article saying: Prime Minister Oli instructed the establishment of temporary hospitals in various provinces and the Kathmandu Valley. Total build 1000 beds. The project is expected to be completed in about one and a half months. Some netizens commented that life is a matter of life and saving people is like fighting fire. It takes one and a half months to build 1,000 beds in Nepal, which is incredible.

The Nepalese media criticized the government for misplaced focus, which led to the pandemic being out of control. Government Officials did not pay attention to basic principles such as increased contact tracking and testing because they believed that lock-in was the only option.

The total number of beds in the Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital in Kathmandu has increased from 60 to 90 beds. All rooms, corridors and emergency rooms in the hospital have been occupied by infected beds.

The director of the hospital, Dr. Sagar Raja Bandari, told the media: “We cannot expand further.” We have neither human resources nor room to expand the number of beds.

Reports across the country have raised similar situations. Bank patients in one of the hardest-hit areas were turned away due to insufficient beds and oxygen.

Doctors have always believed that many medical staff are infected with the virus and that if the authorities do not take drastic measures immediately, the crisis will become difficult to control.

Dr. Chakra Raj Pandei, Director of Grand International Hospital, said, “Virus prevention has been out of control. As the hospital and medical team are overwhelmed, the despair of patients and the public is the most serious, and the fight against the coronavirus has become very difficult. "

However, the authorities have failed to figure out what steps they can take to control the spread.

An official of the Ministry of Health, who asked not to be named, said: "Since we have no other choice, extending the ban is our only option at the moment."

The cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Ollie decided on April 19 to resume contact tracing, increase testing, and establish isolation, isolation and detention centers. However, even after 17 days, contact tracking was not restored, and no isolation center and storage center were established.

"If the Cabinet's own decisions are not implemented, what else can be implemented?" said the official, who asked not to be named. Author: Boya
