No one is there to care when a corona warrior falls : Corona Chronicle #063

He had fever for a couple of days and the family doctor suggested to get a blood test done.

The report was positive for typhoid.

After 2 days, he started feeling breathless.

He was then advised to get a Covid-19 test.

The results for the test come after 48 hours but he was not in the condition to wait till then.

He was laying on the floor where his sister was taking care of him.

He was taken to several hospitals which refused to admit him because of the coronavirus symptoms.

The other hospitals that were ready to take him asked for a deposit in the ballpark of Rupees 80,000 to Rupees 1 lakh.

His financial stability was not very strong and thus they came back again.

His sister was terrified and worried to see his condition get worse with every minute.

It was so heartbreaking to see him lose his life slowly right in front of her eyes.

His sister sat by his side all the time and made a video.

In the video, she pleaded and begged for someone to save her brother.

In a small period of time the video went viral.

Two senior officers of Mumbai police came home and saw his condition deteriorating.

They felt ashamed that their colleague was facing this tremendous misery.

They took him to Kasturba Hospital.

He was being treated in the hospital well now.

He was a police officer in Ghatkopar.

A Corona warrior who was standing strong for his country for over 2 months had to beg for treatment.

No one is there to care when a corona warrior falls.
