In my view, this comment is a terrifying mix of ignorance and\/or cynicism. In the meanwhile, 120 respirators were promised to India which, however, does not look very generous. More should be donated by Sweden. What about oxygen generators and other stuff?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, too many decisions-makers outside India still do not understand the gigantic dimensions of India. Sure, each aircraft landing in India with badly needed equipment is a good deed. A good deed is also that the EU commences now putting together a common strategy and common action. Hopefully, much more is to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summary \u2013 understand the size of India!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am still missing more convincing and wholehearted efforts from the international arena. Sure, we have to welcome that the Indian tragedy has been recognized more globally. However, the following three important matters of fact should be paid attention to more clearly:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a4\u00a0 India is an incredible giant country with enormous further domestic contagion risks;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a4\u00a0 enormous domestic contagion risks also mean enormous <em>global<\/em> contagion risks;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a4\u00a0 reflecting on the two risks mentioned above means obviously \u2013 together with the current dramatic situation \u2013 that India needs much more equipment from abroad for fighting against B 1.617 than currently on the cards.
