“I still listen to those voices, they are not looking at Daddy. I said that pump him … something has happened in his heart… pump it. Push it, push it hard … do something to Daddy. (SIC.) “

When you lose a loved one, it becomes almost impossible to remove the trauma caused by harm. There is a case of Amarpreet that lost his father, Lakhjit Singh from Kovid -19. He died outside the Gate of LNJP Hospital in Delhi on the morning of 4 June 2020.
More than one million Indians have died of Kovid -19, but no data, daily bulletin or number can ever reducing the grief and pain of losing a father, son, mother, wife, friend for infectious virus.
On 12 March 2020, India reported its first Kovid -19 death in Karnataka. About seven months later, on 2 October, the disease killed 1 lakh Indians. We have reached a situation where numbers have numbered us because we place a tab on them without much care.
During Independence Day week, Delhi Police Inspector Sanjay Sharma fell ill. Since Delhi was on high alert, he was working from home despite being on a sick leave. After listening to PM Modi’s speech on television, he can finally be hospitalized only on August 15. However, by then, his condition had deteriorated.
“The doctor or nurse, whoever was there, told us that the matter was out of their hands; It is too late. When X-rays were taken, 60 percent of the lungs were foggy, infected. Nevertheless, they agreed to work with 40 percent. He used injections and oxygen cylinders to stabilize his position. However, his Kovid Test was still not done. When he reached a serious position, his covid test was conducted, and it turned out to be positive. By then everything was over. ,

On 18 October, doctors at the Spinal Research Institute declared Delhi dead. He died of Kovid -19 within 11 days of the virus infected.

On the morning of June 4, Lakhjit Singh died outside the LNJP hospital gate. Amarpreet alleged that if the hospital accepted his sick father on time, he could have been saved.
“As soon as my brother went inside, the doctor examined the papers and said that he is a patient of Gangaram Hospital. Please take him to Gangaram … Please do not bring him here, we will not be able to accept it. I could listen to my brother, crying, pushing Daddy, and it took him 20 minutes to give him an oxygen cylinder. They just gave him oxygen and they left. He did not investigate anything, and he announced that your patient is not much. You should have taken him to Gangaram, he is not our patient. ,

Lakhjeet Singh died within 10 days of infected. LNJP issued a press release on the same day, clarifying that Lakhjeet Singh was brought to the hospital and the hospital never denied admission.
How many people have died in India from Kovid -19? The official Covid -19 is tracking the Bulletin numbers released every day, but many people feel that the actual death toll may be very high, as many deaths are unabated.
Silker’s late Narayan Mitra died on 16 July at Silker Medical College and Hospital. His funerals were performed according to the Covid-19 protocol. The hospital quoted Kovid -19 as the cause of his death, but his name was never included in the official list of deaths due to illness in Assam.
“I came to know about my father’s death through the media when the Guwahati Death Audit Board said it happened due to Myasthania and not Kovid -19. A few days ago, I came to know through the media from Silker Medical College and Hospital that my father had tested the positive virus. What he has written in the death certificate is still unknown for us. The Silchar Medical Hospital says that my father’s death was due to Corona, but the Guwahati Death Audit Board says it was caused by MyStenea. Now what is wrong and what is right is still unknown. ,

Six members of Narayan Mitra’s family conducted a positive test a day after his death.
‘It’s not easy to compete with trauma’
The Quint Talked to six families across India, who lost their loved ones in the virus. Almost every family had a regret – they were not able to give a proper farewell to the late. It was lacking that he was finding it difficult to face.
“He is a single child, and so it is his right to argue his father. But my husband was sealed in a bag. We could not even see his face for the last time. It could have been a transparent bag. My son sometimes asks how we also know if it was his father’s body. ,
Aruna Pathak Sharma, widow of late Sanjay Sharma
“When his body was cremated from the hospital from Morchery and Morchari, he was included in that poly bag. We could not even give him a blanket. It was very painful. ,
Amarpreet Kaur, daughter of late Lakhjit Singh
It is pain that most families will remain forever. Try to have a face for those who are dead, think of your families; What would happen, if it was someone close to you. Perhaps then we will start looking beyond the figures and accept the loss of human life.
