Five million coronavirus infections in India

 The number of confirmed coronaviruses in India has exceeded five million, officials say, second only to the US in the world.




  The virus seems to be spreading faster in India than in any other country, with more than 90,000 being transmitted daily for five days by Tuesday.


  More than 1,000,000 people have died amid reports of intensive care beds and shortages of oxygen.


  But the mortality rate is lower than in countries with high cases.


  The infection has risen since the government continued to lift sanctions across the country in March to boost the economy, which lost millions of jobs to the virus.


  The gym is the latest to reopen, while schools, colleges and cinema halls remain closed.  But most workplaces and markets have returned to normal, and many cities are allowing restaurants and bars to continue serving alcohol, which is likely to increase congestion.

  Are the fewer tests of the South Asian outbreak hidden?


  How did India get here?


  In the early stages of Covid-1 of, India did quite well, imposing strict lockdowns, but then the virus hit megacities like Mumbai and the capital, Delhi, before moving to smaller cities and rural areas.


  Despite the increase, the government has relaxed restrictions to recover from the effects of the initial lockdown between March and June - which has hit the economy hard.

As India opens up and people return to work, the number of Covid-19 cases has skyrocketed.  Some 600,000 cases were added last week.

  After adding 90,123 cases in the last 24 hours, India's case load is at 5,020,359.

  Despite the virus spreading to every corner of the country, including remote tribes in India's Andaman Islands, the burden of the case is coming from most of the five states.

  How many Covid-19 deaths are missing in India?

  Why won't India accept how Kovid-19 is spreading?

  Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state in India, also account for more than 60% of active cases.

  But the increase in the number of cases is also partly a reflection of the increased testing - India conducts more than one million tests a day.

  What about reports of oxygen shortages?

  As the number of cases has increased, so has the demand for oxygen.

  

Oxygen producers say demand for industrial oxygen has also increased as more factories reopen.

  "This is a question of livelihood that India is now grappling with," BBC India correspondent Sautik Vishwas said in a report.  Our correspondent adds that India will now need to increase capacity to ensure that both industries and patients do not get in trouble.

  Most oxygen plants are built near cities and large cities.  Therefore, Covid-1 patients have to be sent by special lorries carrying cryogenic tanks to the areas where patients are filling hospitals - there are about 1,100 such vehicles in India.

  For example, many areas - the capital, Delhi - do not have a single oxygen producer, and all supplies come from neighboring regions.

Domino's pizza Update for you .

Domino's Pizza has dropped a promotion offering free pizza to a woman named Karen after receiving a response.   In recent years, the name "Karen" has been used as an insult to white middle-aged women who are considered abusive or racist.   The New Zealand arm of the pizza franchise initially said it wanted to take a break from the negativity of "nice carnations".   But some said he is tone-deaf, ignoring more important issues and "gaining privileges."   What was the offer?   The pizza chain's Australian, Australian and New Zealand pages were titled "King Ling All (Karens)".   It asked people named Karen to tell Domino’s in 250 words how they are one of the “nice people”.   "The name 'Karen' has become synonymous with anyone who is entitled, selfish and chooses to complain," said Lon Collins, Domino's chief marketing officer in the field.   “It was a light-hearted souvenir, it really became an insu...

Google New details

Google's new plan released in UK, US and Spain   The tech giant says it is incorporating new technology into the cable, which they claim is a significant upgrade to the old existing line.   The project is completed by 2022.   Google estimates that underwater data cables are important for global communications, which contain about 98% of the world's information.   Cables are usually made by telecommunications companies - usually a group of them pulling sources - which are then charged to use other companies.  The latest cable, called "Grace Ha Ce Par", after the American computer scientist and Admiral behind the Navy, will hit the UK at Bude in Cornwall.  It is Google's fourth privately owned undersea cable  But Google needs "increasing amounts of transatlantic bandwidth," said John Delaney, a telecommus analyst at IDC.   “Creating its own cables helps them choose the best cable route,” he said, and is close to d...
