It is clear that unqualified people are taking decisions in medical fields. With regards to the current pandemic, the local Govt  is promoting Ivermectin as a preventive medication. This has been advised against by WHO and other medical organisations.

The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay HC has quoted scientists  as saying that convalescent plasma therapy  is possibly leading to new variant strains and might be fuelling  the pandemic.

In GMC, things  like when to change oxygen cylinders are left in the hands of the bottom rungs! We do not know if quality checks are done.

If Singapore can restrict Covid deaths to just 31 for the entire pandemic, despite a population of 55 lakhs, then we must get the help of doctors from there. Goa, with a population of just 18 lakhs, has reached 70 deaths in a single day, totalling more than 800! Inexcusable.

Regarding the many political parties in Goa: none of them had the guts to go to court. Today, it is amply clear: people who think they can become politicians, including those in power, are unfit to run any government.
