Countries are pulling through as India sees a catastrophic rise of COVID cases

The average new cases per 10 day period tallies at 321,623.

The New York Times reports today, ‘countries, companies and powerful members of the diaspora have all pledged to pitch in, but it likely won’t be enough to stop the unfolding catastrophe.’ 

Along with the UAE, Saudi is also pulling through to supply India with Oxygen generators in their time of need, while the US is sending the raw materials for COVID vaccines. India produces the Astra Zeneca vaccine, so countries waiting on doses can expect to see a backlog in shipments.
