As it is now the fall polluting season, a think smog has fallen upon New Delhi. This could make the city’s Covid problem even worse. Because Covid attacks the lungs, it makes it much harder to breathe. With the air worsened, doctors say those with Covid may be more likely to become sicker or even have a higher chance of death. Cases in the country are on the rise, at 7.3 million, India is only second to the U.S (7.9) for the highest number of cases in the world. India is already know to have some of the worst living conditions in the world. In the fall, all of the bad chemicals condenses in the air. These chemicals can even lead to brain damage and other respiratory problems, which isn’t good for those who have Covid. The Government is setting up a war room to establish a plan to deal with the deadly combination of Covid and the Chemical Smog. Even though the citizens are wearing masks to take precautions, many of those masks are not advanced enough to stop the smog from damaging their lungs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found this article to be terrifying. How much harder can it get for the people in India? Not only are they climbing fast in the number of Covid cases they have, but now they also must deal with a double edged sword and fight off this Smog problem. Its as if there was a soldier in close combat, but he took his armor off during the battle. I think that the Indian government will be greatly tested in their ability to take action and make change. They may even need to ask for help from stronger countries so that they are able to save a large amount of their population. I think that it is just such bad luck. The only defense against Covid 19 was having a healthy, well functioning body. But now, many people will not have that due to the smog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In class, we talk about the different types of governments\/ systems that are the best. Communism, capitalism, dictatorship, democracy. There is a ton of debate on which one is the greatest. I think it will be interesting to watch and see how the mostly western molded government of India functions and acts in relation to the great challenge that is presented in front of them. Will the western government have the greatest capability to function? Or will they be limited by rules and regulations established? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
