79: India's COVID Crisis
Episode description
This episode is the first of a two-part discussion about the erupting COVID crisis in India. Be sure to catch episode 80 as well, which deals with the status of press freedom in India and how it relates to reporting on the pandemic.
Those following the world news headlines for the past few days will be aware that that Mumbai and its surrounding state of Maharashtra are at the epicenter of a massive spike in COVID cases, with India far and away leading the world, and with an infection rate that shows no signs of slowing down during its second wave.
Our guest is Amitabh Sinha, an editor with the Indian Express, based in Pune, about 150 kilometers from Mumbai.
