    1. You have to shut the entire world for 60 days, not leave your house.

    2. Yes. If we want to be free of it, we need to help everyone get vaccinated, world wide. It’s rendering aid, from which WE benefit. If variations mutate, into new, uncontrollable strains, we’re back to square one, or possible worse? Something even more deadly?

  1. if covid continues to ravage india unchecked, more variants emerging will increase exponentially.

    1. Or it’s all bs. You can let them control your life or you can learn the truth. It’s up to you.

      Now go.

    2. @Donald Ducko its called evolutionary biology, the more reproduction takes place the increased rate of mutation happens.

      Jeez even grade 9 science students know this…oh wait, was that beyond your education level??

  2. There was no verifiable information in this news segment. What the heck?? It’s just one woman’s wild guess.

    1. By sounding so ignorant, you show us you’re a trump troll, and something of a Karen. You might be too thick to understand news and analysis, but speaking it out loud only shows others how dumb you are . . . 🤦‍♂️🙄

    2. You are absolutely correct.
      I can all the “experts” have chimed in with such verifiable scientific evidence as well.

    3. Thats because they need more money in th e form of AID. SO they just bring all these NRI and their anti-American kids who refuse to leave but love to stay and hate on AMerica to speak about how, it is the world and especially Americas JOB to take care of indians. While their own govt fails to care or take care of them. And their own billionaires and millionaires beeline it to anywhere outta there.
      greatest culture indeed

    4. @Ash Roskell If you are so smart, name ONE verifiable piece of information from this useless news segment. Then support it with verification.

      You can’t.

    1. No worry.

      Viruses have no landed place to call “home”.

      Soon it will “ebola in Belize” or the such……..

    2. @Arch Stanton : Bit like Donny, huh, Karen? Pretty soon, he’ll have no place to call home, unless he turns himself in? It’ll be Moscow or Rikers Island 😉

  3. India’s Goa state, a hugely popular tourist destination on the western coast, has the highest rate of COVID-19 infections in the country, with up to one in every two people testing positive in recent weeks,

    1. Agenda or not Biden and the democrats have done better than trump and the Republicans during this pandemic !

    2. It does, a virus spreading around India gives it more chances to both mutate and spread elsewhere. It’s science.

    1. Run business? WhT do they even offer other than cheap laborers.
      For the past 2 decades their jobs, wealth and prosperity was literally handed to them by America. Before than students graduating were literally jobless. Their country created zero jobs for their own people. Without the creation of IT, software job they’d have nothing. American companies fired their own to hire cheaper laborer. You think America did not and does not have ppl who need and can work those jobs? That’s just a marketing gimmick to get in cheap labor. You can thank obama for that. Falling in the hands of the tech giants and giving these people the ability to abuse the h1 visa system in the name of essential workers. They are not.
      Most ran away first chance they got. All these scummy nri and their anti American offsprings. Why do you think they are here. Pretending like they are some dogs gift to mankind.

  4. Trump is responsible for this make no mistake and dont let an unintellectual GOP pinhead tell you otherwise he should have shut Indias borders earlier.

  5. India’s top government officials let their Egos make decisions, now the entire nation is suffering 😱

    1. Of course COVID is a thing. It’s just not the thing you think it is.
      BTW, India has the third highest number of people fully vaccinated, behind USA and England. What does the “surge” say about those “vaccines”????

    2. @Lp78Ch You do realize India’s population is way larger than ours? So you can’t go by the raw number of shots. You have to normalize it by shots per 100 people for an accurate comparison.

    3. @Lp78Ch This type of “Math” is what happens when you’re a high school dropout and get your ‘stats’ from Facebook Echo Chambers.

      Have to take vaccine to population ratios moron

  6. Look up Dr. Rajendra kapila. Infectious disease doctor that died in India. He had two doses onboard of Pfizer. Our vaccines have no affect on the variants ravaging India. Working with INdian nationals whose doctors are telling them to not bother getting vaccinated as they are ineffective.

  7. “…India’s Covid Surge…” motivates us, the people of America, to redouble our efforts to rapidly find out at any given moment, including even while On-Line, who among us are unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic) in order to “Convince It Forward” for them to call their doctor and to self-quarantine per CDC guidelines in hopes of stopping this pandemic instead of having more “Mourning In America.” Thus, we’re hoping for the best while preparing for the worse-case scenario of the “UK variant” strain(s) mutations and others like the South African, Brazilian, Californian, Texan (BV-1) & “Cluster 5 Mink” mutations rendering current vaccines no longer effective.

  8. This is all due to Modi’s fault, Modi will definitely lose this next coming election. He needs to be VOTED OUT NOW!
