On April 20, Gurugram resident Abhijeet Dutta was rushing his Covid-positive elderly neighbour from one hospital to another in search of a bed. But they got none. Instead, they were met with horrific scenes of patients gasping for breath and plugged into oxygen cylinders, sitting in parking lots waiting to be admitted. “The hospitals had no beds, either in emergency or ICU,” says the 45-year-old. “Fortunately, my neighbour, whose son lives abroad, survived. But I realised how Covid has invaded our homes and rendered everyone—patients, doctors, hospitals—helpless.”
