Demand for compensation for corona deaths.

how far close are we (India) to something like this https://www.wsj.com/articles/derek-chauvin-conv... happening here on a regular basis?

everything from ‘routine enquiry’ abductions > to > the security forces perpetrating human rights violations and extrajudicial killings have the direct involvement OR SILENCE of the state.

now imagine, if all those
who are genuinely wronged by the state or one of the wings of the state
if they ALL line-up and demand ex-gratia or court mandated compensation.

what kind of complications and added stress on the fractured legal system we will witness?

on paper, the pandemics can very well be disowned by the state, as not being a direct cause.

in blunders like the recent Nashik deaths, the head of the state government did announce something.
but if it is made into a policy, then (and this is a personal view only) there would be far more deserving candidates lining up.

also, in a broken democracy like ours, where people too have short term memories, indifference
unlike your first post, where you said not a political post…applies to all parties and all state governments as well. it would mostly be reduced to 🦍 chest thumping and nothing more!

This seems ❓❔❓❔❓
OK so by your theory, if a patient (or his/her family) pays whatever amount Hospitals are demanding for ★treatment of any disease(not just CoViD) and the patient cannot survive, then, the patient’s has a right to get compensation as it is hospital’s responsibility for everything that happens there?

best would have been to do vaccination in few months to achieve herd immunity. other pharmas should have been provided licensing to manufacture in parallel with sii n bharatbiotech.

this, coming as it does from a paramedic like you, is especially sad, scary (or funny: depends on perspectives).

convert bedrooms to ICU rooms? or from now on BHK+ICURoom?

that! is entirely YOUR fault!
nobody stopped you from being born into a Tata, Birla, Ambani household.
or if still you wanted, you could have worked your way out of ‘middle class’.
Lakshmi Niwas Mittal, William Henry Gates III (Bill Gates), Narayan Prasad Subedi, DH Ambani, Ramkrishna Yadav, ND Modi, GS Adani were all born into or grew up in the quintessential “middle class”.

but did they remain stuck there?

i feel that
in modern era remaining ‘middle class’ should be made a criminal offence.

Woh bhai sadiyon se chalta aa raha. Bahat garib bhukhe pyase hain. Wo bass God ke bharose ji rahe. Ham kuch khushnaseeb yaa fir badnaseeb ek bubble ke bich me rahke, keise ignore maarna hai logon ko, jo majority hain, sikh liye hain. Kya cyclone ni hoti thi, kya accidents se poor log ki casualties ni ati thi, kya bin oxygen se log problem face ni karte the. Issbar pandemic ne rich n poor ko ek hi tarah kuchal raha hai toh log awaz utha rahe hain. Jaab hath nai chalta, tabhi paramatma ki yaad ati hai.
Isse log kuch sikhe.
1) govt hospital should be maintained
2) govt hospital ke employees should get well compensated so that they don’t have to open clinics. Basic facilities should be made available in hospitals, so that doctors, who work at remote areas don’t have to put political pressure to get into city.
3) if someone opens a clinic, at least one pharmacy n patholab become affiliated to that clinic. Strict actions should be taken against them.
4) technicians should be employed so that equipment worth crores don’t have to rot in store room. If they open patholabs, which they do, they should be fired asap.
5) People should be made aware of stupid LIC plans.
6) Health insurance should be made mandatory and at nominal price
7) generic medicines should be promoted

I know my points would not be applied. Because it would hurt doctor-pharmacy-patholab-scanning center-pharma company nexus/cartel. But it is High time that govt must crack down upon them.
