How can one help as the second wave of the Covid pandemic is worsening?

1. Arranging resources for the affected people like oxygen, plasma, medicines, etc. This can be done individually too by calling the leads, and verifying or you can do it in group.. https://twitter.com/apoorva1gupta/status/1385656422772269062

@awwwnchal @apoorva1gupta @SoodFoundation @an_napurna @palakzat @swatic12 & so many others are working with their teams, verifying leads, helping on-ground with medicines, hospitals, plasma arrangement, etc. You can DM them and join their groups, & focus on helping one at a time

2. Help by donating money to Ongoing fundraisers - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eiobgyrl8iz-R1Dz7c4R5pzzzkuZLBj99vaC7T_UeVo or donate directly to https://indiafightscorona.giveindia.org .

5. Help by staying indoors , take care of your near ones. Spread awareness among people about Covid vaccination, provide N95 masks among people in your locality, maids, support staff, bear vaccination costs for people in need & take the vaccination shot.

6. DONATE BLOOD

If you're a Covid survivor, please consider donating plasma and save lives.

Also, there might be a shortage of Blood as starting May 1, the vaccination drive is opening so please donate blood before the vaccination. https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/call-for-youth-to-donate-blood-before-vaccination/article34405776.ece

*Take care of yourself*

If you're helping as a volunteer, doctor, or contributing by any means, it's tough as the situation is worsening so take care of your mental well-being. Take the necessary break!

If you're not able to help, just stay indoors and it's okay!

Together, let's fight against this pandemic and help as many people as possible.

Kudos to so many awesome people working day & night and saving so many lives .

*Share this with your friends/family if they feel, they're not able to help or doing enough*
