I saw a little while ago that equipment to produce medical O2 is also being sent.? That will make a big difference, and I'm tickled at the doses being sent.
Ventilators, on the other hand, were being dumped - in Miami.? I hope that stops and they're redistributed to the other countries that need them.? The image I saw suggests that they should be salvageable (still in boxes/cases and on pallets) - and they too save lives.
It looks like we're pulling together - and that makes me relieved. Those that need help should get it.
Ashar, tell everyone you can that we're pulling for you all!

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.
