In India, the third wave of Covid-19 now appears to be out of control.
In the last 24 hours, 352,991 new cases and 2,812 deaths have been recorded.
In front of hospitals saturated to the point of no longer being able to receive new patients, the queues are getting longer.
The health system is reaching its limits with a shortage of oxygen, ventilators, beds and components for vaccines.
Analysis of the situation with Dr. Eric D'Ortenzio, epidemiologist at Inserm and ANRS - emerging infectious diseases.
