you're watching. Reality CHEQUE On a day when booster shots opened up for the elderly and medical workers, the virus is surging. We'll have a round table of health ministers on whether India is ready to battle the third way because look at the numbers right now. Rise in the grave Daily Corbett Cases in the top states in India Average daily cases India Located week to week previous week to this week, it's up in a big way almost 510% up across the country. Let's look at the top states. Maharashtra, starting with its up for 100 20% West Bengal again has jumped from 2000 cases to 15,100 cases is up by 470% Deli from 1500 cases of week ago to almost 14,000 cases. Almost 800% of Tamil Nadu showing almost a 600% jump in covet cases. Karnataka. 750% increase in the Cove IT cases. Let's look at the rise in daily covet Dept. Visa again. Average deaths comparing the previous week to the current week from 2 72 to 90 8% of nationally so slight increase, Maharashtra has actually seen a dip unusual 11% down from 16 down to 14. West Bengal, though, has seen a big jump, almost double from nine deaths to 17. That's 85% of deli from one death to seven deaths. Percentage Joyce huge almost over 1000%. Tamil Nadu, 8 to 9 deaths. Slight increase. Karnataka has seen a drop from five deaths. Average 23 death, so it's actually 30% down. Police raided worryingly, the pole bound states because the Election Commission said they didn't find too much to worry about in the poll bound states. And that's why they went ahead with the elections were look at Uttar Pradesh. It's in a big jump from about 200 cases the previous week. Two, almost 3600 cases average almost 1500% of hand again from 100 to almost 800. 700% jump. Punjab 1 82 almost 2311. 50% of Manipur 14 to 5230% of and last but no least, Goa has seen a 450% jump, and the cases are rising faster in pole bound States. If you look at what has called the reproduction rate or the our rate, which shows you how cases are rising, so just look at that. It's a 4.2 rising by 4.2 in Uttarakhand, 3.6 in up 2.8 in Punjab and two point for in Goa, much more compared to states like Delhi and Maharashtra, which are supposedly hot spot states where the reproduction rate is just too, just over two, or on a big exclusive panel tonight of health ministers from across the country. J. Pratap Singh, health minister of Uttar Pradesh, is on the show tonight. Satinder Jain, health minister of Delhi, is on the short tonight Sing Vo Health Minister Chhattisgarh is on the shore tonight I just come to Jane Saab and Mr Do and second. But let me start with J. Pratap Singh, Health Minister up who I spoke to earlier. And I began by course thanking him for joining us. And the big question is that you are heading into elections. You are already seeing a 1500% jump in cases. Your reproduction rate is 3.6. This is a big one e for us at noticed as poll season kicks off are serious challenges, of course, very much over there because beep on through 20 gone to down 21 and seeing a different variety of this variant, which is being highly transmissible and infecting just about everywhere, it seems to be infecting everyone. Yes, not being very a highly thought over hostile way or hospitalisation does not need to be taken. And yet you have to keep in mind that the election coming up election has to be also dealt with at the same time, so are the government has started putting in a lot of measures in all two districts which have already crossed over 2000, and to ensure to the district administration that covered appropriate protocols of markets are closed under silvery picture of Ryan's. And things will be totally made to ensure a big meetings and small nuclear some margin or will not take place. And every person was have a past. Whether the person who can pay sing in small groups as well as the people in the villages must have must. I mean, for the time being this is what we are planning and going okay, But you know that the fact is now, of course, the Election Commission has made everything digital. But even before that, there were many political events being held, including by the BJP, where no protocols are observed. There was no social distancing and nobody was wearing masks. Not even the Chief Minister. I think the Chief Minister was very a much quite that maybe in some meetings, he must have not one of us for the wages. Pretty okay, That was an all over where he also made the mask. But yes, that is true. What you're saying is a pre the election decision. They were not a big police and all because your programmes which had which had to be inaugurated of which had to foundation Ling stone by the Prime Minister or by the Chief Minister and different places. So this will just when the case is started going up and then will be found as the number of cases going up very high. We decided to call off all the meetings and all that just before the Election Commission decided on the dates use material. But with these meetings and events, I mean, did they contribute to the surge. No, I think when you are, Katherine, contribute to that. Any use gassing? You have somebody who the positive patient will because being highly transmissible this various, cutting across every way and trying to infect that much of people. But also what I would like to support in one word is that in 2 22 21 what I saw was in the villages, there wasn't so much of a number of cases were coming out of much less in villages. What? It came out of the six cities. This is what I have noticed this time. Also, this highly transparent thing. We are looking at all the numbers in all the big cities. And when I come down to all the smallest districts and you get there, the numbers are isolated and not in very large numbers and which are easily manageable also. So maybe, I mean, they may be a herd inability immunity or something that the US because you have dealt a variant as well as you have grown, both are probably having the same 26. Okay, the same characteristics. But, you know, the other worry, of course, is that with these crowds and all of that in Uttar Pradesh, the vaccination rates are quite low. Only 34% of the total population of the target population. For the total population, only 34% vaccinated. I don't think those speakers, I think a little behind I today. I I am told I think position my my mobile itself. I think it's almost 50 of 51% now. Total number of does which are given two doors which are given 47% 47 point something percent is what the two doses which we have already given the stand this We've increased the numbers over the last, but about 17 lakhs. 18, right? Sorry. Just to interrupt for a second. You're saying 47% but that might be 47% eligible population of the overall population. I believe the figure is just 34%. The whole population. I want to give the whole population I got in my this mobile right now. Okay, Mean I'm not being too excessive immediately, but I know it is a port 47 point. Some person. Okay, I can give the figures. You later will will cheque the figures again But even that is still not a very high number. Is it u K But then you also must see that we are 20 for populated state in the country. The Vico percentage wise, the same percentage might increase at the numbers might increase in the state where they will show something like 90% to 95% to 80% because of a population and a huge population. If you go phase wise, I mean not only failed by the by the age wise keeping in mind the health and health workers, the frontline workers 18 to 45 60 plus and you will now 15 to 17, which we are doing in a very fast way and way, if you see individually, will make out that the numbers are quite high. And last question, though, because how prepared are you in terms of oxygen and hospital beds? Because last time there was a severe shortage of oxygen. A lot of people were struggling. Uttar Pradesh government maintained that there was no shortage. There were no oxygen related deaths. Number one view concede that there was an oxygen crisis last time. And number two are you prepared better this time there was a shortage of accident. It was all over the country. It was all over the world. The prime minister took, um evidence of it immediately when they shorted, came up with the type of variant infected our lungs at that time. So the entire production of oxygen in the country were taken over by the central government. Right. And each state was given a certain amount of oxygen, the quantity to be lifted from different areas of different places in the country, which everybody did. We did the same thing. Whatever oxygen we got from outside the state and we financially helps a lot of obsidian refill er within the state were closed down earlier. Whatever reason got them restarted and fight. If you stay in districts and ensure that accident is work was easily available. At least all the government of the medical colleges, district hospitals and to the hospital which were connected to the medical colleges like private medical colleges and private big hospital, were also given enough oxygen to take care of the requirements. So okay, there was a shortfall in between of oxygen all over the country also had its share, but We worked on it as a preparatory work and we ensure that came by and honk and express train which we started. I plane by road. Whatever possible will be put in every effort in the whole country was putting it suffered at in the prime Minister will ensuring, apart from I think importing also from outside. Okay, will that least an honest answer, Minister, that you can see that there was a shortage And you're trying her best to headed off this time by Thank you very much indeed. For joining us Let me go straight across to our other health ministers. Patiently waiting. Apologies for that. Let me start with you. Satinder Jane Jane Sob Deli Again, Cases are going up in almost 800% of week on week. What are you What are you seeing in the numbers? Which worries you and what are you seeing? Which offers a glimmer of hope The here, the leak and urge. Okay. See, Harvey can delay for several reason. Can get delayed flights. India Miata Absalon Dilemma Three flights Tommy Kron Vigil Poor addition Air flights Step Dilemma. I do says dilemma number, schematics, district and Joel additional a bit of a dilemma in 13 thousands of these are cases are 19,000 bizarre cases on a cable you bitch of hospitalisation and that is very low.

Hey, Scully Abducted to admit connected task Two coffees are impatient as in Yuki Corona Key budget statement name with FIFA assuring numbers data that work like in severity Come, just come back to you in one second. Scindia sob Chhattisgarh. Of course, we locate the numbers week to week. It's jumped from 1 62 about 2000 cases, 1200% of its A course, the whole state. So that's not very much. But are you? Are you worried that you know, because you've not peaked yet That it may cross. The numbers may cross the, you know, the second wave. Even if it's milder, the numbers will be Hi. Are you ready for this or macron? Good evening, Srinivas. And careening to all the other panellists and the views. It is simply a cause of worry to the extent that it is a commonly projected that the numbers are going to be at least twice as much. Mr Dr Paul, from 90 of last name when we have the video conferencing with the Prime Minister mentioned the figure of five lakh possible cases per day for the country. This time he has mentioned 14 like per day for the country. To that projection itself is about three times first come shivers. We are participating. If we had one light cases in a day, we will have at least two like places. Active cases in a way that is the cause of numbers are certainly going to be higher. I've open from hope. I'm projecting, rambling, but this case is are going to be higher than they were during the second way. But like everybody is seeing throughout the world, everybody seen that the civility of the cases is going like, the health minister from Delhi said. We two are experiencing the similar things that people coming in for other procedures are coming in and testing positive as the occupying, icy or even ventilator belts as they are coming with other ailments. So you are. So you're I see what is the status of your own ice use and coveted issues in Covent Ventilators. How much? What at the moment are 59 occupancy. Normal bags, 2.5 occupancy in Obsession Mints, 1.98% Obsidian Occupancy S duplex, 2.68 Talks. Occupancy issue beds and 2.15 occupancy in our 20 later two point percentage is out of 19,710 bells that we have, including this about 6000 bench, which are normal non offseason based occupancies for 46 which works out to 2.26. So, basically your your bed occupancy. Both I see you and otherwise is somewhere in the 2% range, which is, you know, at the moment low touch wood fingers crossed it. It doesn't go beyond that. But certain regions of Jakarta Kiska, Sawalha, Key Deli, Major shop carrying cases Barbara Hike Worry had a severity like in a Aetna Helicke in cases to Bahrain Op register, See weekend picker Fuckir s Kaka Tortes Peck.

Massa Carla Del Attack Mars Lagana down a cab Do Barra is a weekend Abtahi Week and and Agar Cases Tank A lotta is Mick Mailer. Definitely ask about Communion Start. You can take it. You're saying deli may peak this week? Maybe made a mere expectation is after me give me the list of targets of the less of infected A failure is not necessarily the best thing when I see what you mean. They were the flight. I was joking, but single sob We have just seen new guidelines being brought in by I cm are about testing are important condition They're removed as people who have come in contact with confirmed cases of cove It don't have to be tested anymore unless they're high risk. Is that wise? Is that sensible? I think you should test. You should presume that the person that there is a cynicism Srinivas e which seems to be their bit knowledge. One aspect is people are healthy doctors, et cetera. Experts are very much more aware of the violence at its implications. There are much more confident this time. So they're feeling is one that it is likely to reach almost going to reach a very large number of people will be far more was are symptomatic cases. The security is less bed occupancy like harassing me. We have 13,000 active cases today, right? If it gets the times, our occupancy would be a letter C 45% lif. It gets 30 times we get three life, 60,000 cases are better off people's. He would be about 65%. So that is water and everybody is banking upon. If these figures board wrong, this percentages won't hold. And the bed occupancies doubles with the doubling or tripling the saying You're saying you'd still be comfortable if people who have come in contact are tested? You're right about that. You think that it's perhaps wise to do that and not make this assumption that everyone is going to get infected? So why bother Jane Sob? What is your view on this? Yea, Jonah condition I Do you agree? A plug Rocky and the are definitely this. Is this a vice division medical? Definitely. Bill, Dakota K K number Sana, delete me a very bizarre case. Our atomic lock testing. Currently Dola testing Karenga status Talaja docile care package of testing a limit. Pakistan's economy, our communities and our the cans are if immunologic basics cater Community community spirit is a get their community may fail. Yah dah bah bah Petani kiss Tesco source case was Connie Tom Ecology Marlena Communities, head of Amara Stops are gone is Barton and do me symptomatic ages Focus on a TV last government job Tomorrow Joe Contacts Major Joe who? People who come in contact with positive Manco test how you be able to detect and control photo It's just everywhere a the UK Yeah, population though Corky population protesting the a positive test night tha okay, it's community spread. Okay, that there is There is that argument Also seeing those are, as you said, that that's the sort of view the policy makers are taken. Government is still officially not accepting community spreaders attended and Subsys perhaps they should now and these changed ICM. Our guidelines seem to reflect that they are acknowledging it, that there is not no point even testing people who have come in contact with positives because it it's everywhere. I believe the UK has taken a sort of decision. So if you are of the opinion that particularly in urban areas where the spread is much more rapid and it reaches very many more people, all of it is also very high urban areas that would hold for us to take a policy decision in the state like 75% of the area is rural, right? So do we have a lock down everywhere? We don't have any lock down. Just let things go as there radio. One thing that is very wise today. Okay, the first take to going exactly what the situation is so that more informed decision right treat, treat those who have symptoms and those who are sick and who are who are requiring care, like hospital care that that's the key. But anyway, interestingly poised, the virus is at an inflexion point. Let's see how it plays out. But thank you both. So much for joining me on reality cheque. Thank you so much for watching, Where? Out of times
