The over\u00adcrowded hospi\u00adtals have no room for all the breath\u00adless Covid-19 patients, and even with the best effort find it diffi\u00adcult to keep those alive who are lucky enough to find a bed. Social media and What\u00adsApp groups are full of desperate pleas for oxygen cylin\u00adders. Many people that have fallen ill with the Corona virus are dying while waiting for help.
