Help for India can’t come fast enough

May 02, 2021

For proof that Covid-19 is still a global threat, just look to India. While infections in the U.S. have finally slowed, the number of daily cases in India has crossed the 400,000 mark; oxygen shortages have made a desperate situation even worse for the country's overwhelmed health-care system. U.S. President Joe Biden announced plans to send vaccines to India, but he didn't provide a timeline — and the clock is ticking. How soon the crisis comes to an end will depend at least in part on when the world decides to answer.
