If you're watching the COVID-19 disaster unfold in India and are wondering what you can do to help. Here are some ways. (Thread)
Donate to COVID-19 relief. This thread has multiple places that need financial support to feed people, pay off medical bills etc, please be generous during this time of need. https://twitter.com/gaachburi/status/1385139275109343236
Write to your elected representative about your concern about the growing number of COVID-19 deaths in India and the government's apathy and please put pressure on them to take action. (there's very little hope that this will work but we can try) https://twitter.com/dnaseemullah/status/1385225377602326534
If you're a doctor and have the time and space, please open up for teleconsultations for mild-moderate covid-19 cases for Indians. Help with home management of these cases remotely because the doctors here are overburdened and the healthcare system is at breaking point.
If you're a journalist/editor based anywhere, please please write about what the mismanagement of COVID-19 in India means for the world. If you don't care about us at least think about the larger picture and how this slows down the economy and all that.
If you have the time to volunteer to collate and verify crucial information, you can do that. Will add more such opportunities when I see them. https://twitter.com/Nameet/status/1385228628275785733

If you're a mental health professional who has the space and can afford to offer free/sliding scale rates, please do so, Indian frontline workers are in dire need and depression/suicide rates are also on the uptick. Will update with a Sheet of therapists when I find it.
Requesting therapists and mental health workers to please offer their services here, mental health is on a rapid decline with death at our doorstep. https://twitter.com/vanditamorarka/status/1384825123337773060?s=19
If you're at a university right now, get in touch with your Indian student association to see if they have any ongoing efforts to support COVID relief. You can also write to your administrators to ask them for donations on behalf of the university.
