Footage of families burning the bodies of COVID-19 victims infected in India's second wave has been likened to scenes out of a "horror movie", according to Daily Telegraph health reporter Angira Bharadwaj. Indian families reportedly don't have enough time in the day to burn bodies of COVID-19 victims as the country struggles to deal with the escalating crisis. Approximately 300,000 new cases were recorded in India today making global records for a sixth consecutive day in a row and the death count is rapidly approaching 200,000. Ms Bharadwaj described the situation as a “humanitarian and healthcare crisis” which most health care systems would have difficulty managing. She told Sky News about the experience of her own family currently living in India and said the “worst part” was the potential to lose family members in “really heartbreaking” circumstances. “There’s not a lot of dignity in dying right now in India … families aren’t able to say goodbye to their loved ones in the way they would normally in other circumstances”.
