 CNBC: India reports over 412,000 new Covid cases as court demands plan to tackle oxygen shortage in Delhi 

* Health ministry data showed there were 412,262 new reported cases of infections over a 24-hour period, pushing the total tally to over 21 million — days after crossing the 20 million mark on Tuesday. 

* India’s Supreme Court ordered the central government to present a comprehensive plan by Thursday outlining steps it will take to meet medical oxygen requirements for hospitals in Delhi. 

* India has sufficient oxygen available, but the main issue lies around logistics, according to Siddharth Jain, director of Inox Air Products. 

India once again reported a record number of cases and fatalities on Thursday as it faces a devastating second wave of Covid-19 infections that has pushed its health-care system to the brink of collapse.

We are always talking about absolute numbers, that said, India is 1.4 billion people. The number by 100.000 is not that much.
