'There’s no words, it’s just insane what is happening'
With a deadly second wave of ทดลองเล่นslotxo Covid infections happening in India, BBC Radio 5 Live Drive has been hearing from people whose family and friends have been affected.
Harsimrat Kaur lives in London with her husband Jagjit Singh and has relatives in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. Her aunt and cousin have both died of Covid-19 in the last couple of weeks.
Harsimrat said: "It hit home really hard… two people from the same family, they’ve got young kids as well… I don’t have any words, it’s just insane what is happening.”
Harsimrat explained that her cousin managed to get a hospital bed "after fighting for days with the doctors" but still couldn’t get oxygen or treatment there. Her aunt never got into hospital and had been "struggling for oxygen" too.
Following the recent birth of their baby boy, both Harsimrat and her husband feel jumping on a plane to be with their family on compassionate grounds, would be “too much of a risk” for their son’s health.
She added that her and her husband also “just can’t afford” to travel to India and then spend two weeks in hotel quarantine.
They have applied for a visa to allow some members of their family to come to the UK, when international travel opens up again. |
