Description

India is facing the world's worst coronavirus wave to date, with more than 330,000 new cases daily. Hospitals are swamped, morgues and crematoriums overwhelmed, and a shortage of oxygen has left COVID patients dying in ICUs. More than 15,000 Indians died from COVID last week, and experts concede the real toll is much higher. So in a place that had so many early successes, how did it all unravel? Today on The Signal, how India got here, and what comes next. Featured: James Oaten, ABC South Asia correspondent Dr Harjit Singh Bhatti, Manipal Hospital Dwarka, Delhi Dr Deepak Baid, Association of Medical Consultants, Mumbai Barkha Dutt, Independent Indian journalist
