India’s COVID-19 emergency has reached critical levels.
Hospitals are out of beds and oxygen, while crematoriums do not have space for the dead.
India has recorded more than 300,000 new infections every day for a week, and the numbers are rising fast.
The United States, European Union, Russia and China are among nations sending oxygen and medical supplies.

So what is the fallout for the rest of the world if the crisis is not contained?
