This is a plea to the US government to help India. What you can do:

-Help with Oxygen & Oxygen generators
-Release Astra Zeneca vaccine supplies
-Lift the export ban & send them raw materials for vaccines

As bad as this looks. It's 10 times worse. The Indian people need you.

This is not only the right thing to do. It is also wise. If this absolutely stunning and dramatic spike is due to a bad COVID variant, then it is going to affect us.

It will be self defeating to crush COVID only to let a bad COVID variant get us again.

Please act urgently.

It is not everyday that a request like this goes out. On April 16 new cases were 180,000 per day.

It is a week since this request. It is now 300,000 new cases per day. Urgent will be an understatement. @adarpoonawalla https://twitter.com/adarpoonawalla/status/1382978713302683653
