Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic In India -- News Updates April 30, 2021

Daily Mail: Bodies of 22 coronavirus victims are stuffed into an overloaded ambulance in India - as experts raise the terrifying prospect of 30,000 deaths a day with warning that real infections are TEN TIMES higher than official count 

 * Police snatched the phones out of people's hands as they tried to photograph the ambulance in city of Beed 

* It is seen sagging under the weight of 22 corpses piled on top of each other before heading to crematorium 

 * Another 386,452 infections and 3,498 deaths were recorded on Friday - but medics have warned the true figures could be up to ten times higher - meaning there are 3 million infections and 30,000 deaths every day 

* The country of 1.4 billion is in the eye of the world's Covid storm, with funeral pyres burning around the clock in Delhi and Mumbai and hospitals under armed guard to protect oxygen supplies 

 * Despite emergency gear arriving from Britain and the United States, including a USAF cargo jet with 400 oxygen cylinders on Friday, there remains an acute shortage of oxygen, medicines and beds across India 

* Black market is flourishing to profit from desperation of those seeking oxygen and anti-virals for loved ones 

India's spiraling coronavirus crisis was today laid bare as images circulated on social media of the bodies of 22 coronavirus stuffed into an overloaded ambulance to be taken to the crematorium. 

Another 386,452 infections and 3,498 deaths were officially recorded on Friday - but medics have warned the true figures could be ten times greater, putting daily infections at 3 million. 

At that rate the country could see more than 30,000 deaths from coronavirus a day within a few weeks, but the country's poor record keeping means the true toll may never be known. 

An ambulance overburdened with Covid victims in Maharashtra state is the latest grim evidence of the carnage unfolding throughout the country of 1.4 billion as the virus rips through the population.
