#COVID19 treatment for Delhiites only OR open for all ?

We are just talking about the #covid19 treatment in Delhi, which is a #pandemic while the city is already facing a huge lot of patients every day.

The city with over 2 cr population has quite insufficient health facilities. The general impression is that beds & ventilators are not available even for the Delhiites and we get so many messages in this regard. 

In such a case if #covid19 treatment is opened for all in Delhi hospitals, the already insufficient health facilities will worsen further. 

Now the option is ours to first try to save our local residents from #coronavirus or let our neighborhood friends also join the queue at our cost. 

Very typical issue. Being the National capital, it must remain open for all. But the crux of the discussion is that it should not be allowed at the cost of the lives of residents of Delhi & they must get at least some priority over others.

However, the newly launched Delhi Corona App showed yesterday that many beds & ventilators were still available, and in case this data is genuine, a part of these health facilities can be offered to the outsider critical patients also so that no precious life is lost anywhere. 

Though the App is showing very shocking results today. It says that GTB hospital with 1500 Beds has only 10 Ventilators and 8 already occupied. Similarly, LN 47/64, RGSSH 40/45, SJH 67/69, Apollo 18/18, MDCT 10/10, Batra 11/11, Max 6/8, Fortis 3/3, Manipal 2/2, Moolchand 2/2 & NHI 3/3 are already occupied, which clearly means, inadequate health facilities in the National Capital.
