Every new day, more heartbreaking than the last one. All of this is so deeply unsettling, so depressing, so scary 🙁 https://t.co/JQSVD0Pz5q

There is nothing more heartbreaking than a medical professional on the verge of a breakdown telling someone they cannot help because their means are at an end. Except perhaps being on the other end of that call. #CovidIndia #COVIDEmergency2021 #coviddelhi

These tweets just get more and more overwhelming and you can spend your day endlessly scrolling, looking for that one ray of sunshine.
I feel you, so many people dying not being able to find beds/injections. It’s heartbreaking

Shocking that while COVID ravages India, from being a vaccine exporter, it has been compelled to become a vaccine importer undoing 70 years of govt effort.@narendramodi : the pilot who had his photo plastered on boarding passes only to press the eject button during an emergency

India has reported over 3.14 lakh new Covid-19 cases, highest-ever in the world today. As people are pitching in to help those in need, we can only hope that things get better soon, and stay safe.
