Trump's policy on Covid-19 is now clear - Brutal Herd immunity. With total chaos in America under Trump's rule & country busy in elections, people did not had the time to grasp the significance of this. America, a modern industrial & technological super power has capitulated and surrendered against public health crisis. A crisis which could have been easily managed, controlled & resolved with proper Government policy & planning. Think for a minute, America is a country with grass roots of industrial revolution, a country which was instrumental in defeating Hitler & Fascism, a country which put man on the moon, a country which put land rover on Mars surface, a country which has the strongest military in the world, a country which is highly advanced in field of Medicine, Biotechnology, semi conductors, Artificial Intelligence & all the rest of scientific fields.

Here i just like the highlight the case of Bara Hindu Rao Hospital. Its the biggest Municipal Hospital in North Delhi & has been at forefront of fight against Covid-19 pandemic along with other Government Hospitals in Delhi. But now the Hospital has stopped treatment of Covid-19 patients as Doctors, Nurses & other hospital staff have gone on Strike. Reason - Non payment of salary since last 4 months.

The protest against delay & non payment of salaries of Doctors have been going on since many months.     (Photo - IANS) The non payment of salaries of doctors is the fault of Central Government. Local & State governments have lost most of their revenue in this pandemic induced economic depression. Local & State Gov...
