India’s coronavirus deaths crossed a quarter million on Wednesday in the deadliest 24 hours since the pandemic began, as the disease rampaged through the countryside, overloading a fragile rural healthcare system.<\/p>\n

Boosted by\u00a0highly infectious variants, the second wave erupted in February to inundate hospitals and medical staff, as well as crematoriums and mortuaries. Experts are still unable to say with certainty when the figures will peak.<\/p>\n

\"India-Covid-19-deaths-cross-quarter-million-as-virus-ravages-countryside-rapidnews\"<\/p>\n

Deaths swelled by a record 4,205 while infections rose 348,421 in the 24 hours to Wednesday, carrying the tally past 23 million, health ministry data showed. Experts believe the actual numbers could be five to 10 times higher, however.<\/p>\n

Funeral pyres have blazed in city parking lots, and scores of bodies have\u00a0washed up on the banks\u00a0of the holy river Ganges, having been immersed by relatives whose villages were stripped bare of the wood needed for cremations.<\/p>\n

Lacking beds, drugs and medical oxygen, hospitals have been forced to turn away droves of sufferers, while tales of desperate relatives searching for someone to treat dying loved ones have become sickeningly commonplace.<\/p>\n

Many victims die without a doctor on hand to issue a death certificate, and even when a doctor is available, Covid-19 is not specified as the cause of death unless the deceased was tested for the disease, which few have been.<\/p>\n

Although the infection curve may be showing early signs of flattening, new cases are likely to fall off slowly, said top virologist Shahid Jameel.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe seem to be plateauing around 400,000 cases a day,\u201d the\u00a0Indian Express<\/em>\u00a0newspaper\u00a0quoted him as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is still too early to say whether we have reached the peak.\u201d<\/p>\n

India, with a population of 1.4 billion, accounts for half of the cases and 30 per cent of deaths worldwide, the World Health Organisation said in its latest weekly report.<\/p>\n

The full impact of the B.1.617 variant found in India, which the agency has designated as being of global concern, is not yet clear, it added.<\/p>\n

Rural spread<\/h2>\n

Daily infections are shooting up in the countryside in comparison to big towns, where they have slowed after last month’s surge, experts say.<\/p>\n

More than half the cases this week in the western state of Maharashtra were in rural areas, up from a third a month ago. That share is nearly two-thirds in the most populous, and mainly rural, state of Uttar Pradesh, government data showed.<\/p>\n

Television showed images of people weeping over the bodies of loved ones in ramshackle rural hospitals while others camped in wards tending to the sick.<\/p>\n

A pregnant woman was taking care of her husband who had breathing difficulties in a hospital in Bhagalpur in the eastern state of Bihar that is seeing a surge its health system could barely have handled at the best of times.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doctor here, she sleeps the whole night here, taking care of her husband,\u201d her brother told\u00a0India Today<\/em>\u00a0television.<\/p>\n

In a corridor outside, two sons were wailing over the body of their father, saying repeatedly that he could have been saved if only he had been given a bed in an intensive care unit.<\/p>\n

At the general hospital in Bijnor, a town in northern Uttar Pradesh, a woman lay in a cot next to a garbage can and medical waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can someone get treated if the situation is like this?\u201d asked her son, Sudesh Tyagi. \u201cIt is a hell out here.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
