Underreporting of Covid19 cases
Ordeal of Mr. Nithyaganesh and his father in Mumbai
My Covid Experience
My father had body pain and tiredness for 2 days . I consulted local physician who tested his temperature and informed that it is normal and need not worry. My father's health seemed not to improve ,upon doctor's advice I took his blood sample tested
His blood test came out to be triple typhoid . I immediately consulted other MBBS doctor to started his typhoid treatment . He gave him 2 bottle saline (IV). I asked doctor whether I should go for Covid test for which he said he doesn't see any such symptoms
Father's condition worsened further . He started developing breathing problems post which I directly took him for Covid test . Thyrocare person tested him and charged me 5000 which he asked me to Gpay him directly
By the time I could get the test result , my father's condition detoriated . I rushed him to the nearby Nursing Home (Nagree Nursing Home).Who declined to admit him stating they need Covid Negative Certificate for admission . I tried Hinduja , Lilavati , Nanavati , Raheja
Fortis , Reliance health care etc but in vain none of them got him admitted stating they have overflowing with Covid patient . Finally I took him to Sion hospital where he was tested and remarked as death on arrival . They gave me death note as NATURAL DEATH
My Father's last rights were performed and the very next day the result came to POSITIVE. We lost the Covid Fight.
So so sad and a teller of how understated our covid-19 count is. Hospitals and district admins and municipalities are basically finding ways to declare other reasons for death than covid 19. more

Sincere Condolence to Mdm. Seema, particularly for the fact that she had kept no stone unturned for her father-in-law, but all her efforts and apprehensions fell into mute and insensitive neuro systems. However, this case also illustrates the inadequacy of our health-care systems. more

I agree with Mr.Uday Thevar. Ultimately who should shoulder the responsibility for the loss of a life. The authorities concerned must take severe action against the culprits. more
