second wave of virus

Why the second wave of Covid is taking more lives?

Our country is facing the second wave of covid virus, probably not the 19 version. We almost get out of the Covid 19 virus and most of the hospitals reported zero cases. Now on the second wave each and every hospital flooded with patients. Health workers who received both dozes of vaccination are not spared this time. I heard the new variant of virus can super spread; patients may not show any symptoms like fever, body pain, cold etc. They might feel breathing problem then second day or third day declaring as dead. In our place, weekend curfews enforced from last week. No idea whether this will help any way. Now massive tests are also going on. Many states are conducting elections, so this may be another reason for the super spread. Schools started online like last year as it reopened for the new academic session. Have to wait and watch how things will go?

I heard about it too but I will not stop hoping that it will get better. I know there will be a way of surviving with this 2nd type of virus they are saying is existing now too.

@anil02 Yes I heard about black fungus and it reported in many states. Probably this will come as an after effect of Covid.

The second wave is probably of a different variant where vaccines are not effective and this is my thinking Also people are not following protocol in the manner they should specially poiticians,. They do not lead by example.

It is already reported different variants and dangerous than the earlier one. India is facing a tough time at present. I am at home due to lock down. Hence delayed reply as I have not signed in here for some weeks.

Take care of yourself. Now the virus is spreading through air too. So the risk is high.

It is still COVID-19, but the one that runs now is the mutated virus, that is a lot more contagious.

Yes, many kind of variants are reported and they are more dangerous too. Spread is also in a super fast mode.
