Hi,
The U.S. is sending about 50 or 60 million doses of the vaccine, an unspecified amount of oxygen, and personal protective gear to India. I didn't catch all of what they said on the news. On one of my military newsfeeds I saw that Mexico is sending materials to help India with the covid, too. The cavalry is mounting up.
My best wishes and prayers for everybody over there.

Got my second Covid shot last week.
News in the US says that Biden is sending our stock of AstraZeneca vaccine
to India.? Not sure when though.
Please be careful.? We are waiting for that SDR rig.

thanks all, i wish there was a hack that could fix it. some of us
here even tried. i worked with a few really fabulous? hams to
develop an open source ventilator project that got jammed in some
red-tape. the ventilators are moot right now. what we needed was
to have everyone vaccinated well in time. we wasted it on petty
politicking and haggling away. the vaccine manufacturers were give
a very raw deal and they had to wind down their capacity at a time
like this. anyway, this is not a forum for this discussion.
The interesting part is the science of it. Very very few of those
vaccinated caught the second wave. those that did, (like over
ex-prime minister Man Mohan Singh who is 88 years old and has had
a heart infarct a few months ago), survived with very mild
disease. so look at the data coming out in the Nature, the Lancet,
etc. and decide for yourselves. Much like we read the datasheets
of our devices. it is not different at all. It is even fun!

The situation has been very depressing. It could have been
handled much much better. The second wave has hit some of the
cities very badly. They are out of beds, oxygen, drugs and
vaccines.
We lost many hams as well. Bhogi, who was probably a quiet
member of this forum, died last week as did slokapriya, who
also ran radiojitter.com <>.
People seem to have given up on distancing and keeping
indoors. It is a bizzare situation.
HF signals is working skeletally. I am fully locked up along
with my family at home. We are a large house with 9 people. We
play board games, carroms, bridge, read to each other and i am
working on the SDR.
My partner and the man dude of HF Signals, Ehsan, is just
recovering from a mild bout of Covid. Others are doing good.
Thanks for your concerns and we hope to see you all in the
other side of this nightmare soon.
Keep the solder burning, stay safe. Use science to fight this.

As the article suggests, the US could choose to better
