20021At 8: 00 on April 25th, 34,969/KLOC-0 cases were newly confirmed in the past 24 hours, setting a new record for new cases in a single day since the outbreak of the epidemic in India for four consecutive days, and also setting a new record for new cases in a single country in the world. This news quickly went on the hot search, which aroused widespread concern of netizens and also triggered a hot discussion among netizens. The epidemic situation in COVID-19 is completely out of control, which has also spawned many new black market products.

Novel coronavirus is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by novel coronavirus infection 20 19. In order to cope with this disease, medicine and oxygen are essential. Now the epidemic situation in India has deteriorated sharply, and all hospitals are overwhelmed. Most hospitals are overcrowded and oxygen is running out. Some patients died of lack of oxygen after being sent to the hospital. According to statistics, one person dies of coronary pneumonia every 4 minutes. Due to lack of oxygen, almost every oxygen bottle has become the object of competition. Although all localities try their best to ensure the local oxygen supply, it is still a drop in the bucket. The local government can't guarantee the supply of oxygen, which brings great panic and confusion to the people and breeds the sale of oxygen on the black market.

In order to save their families, many people have to buy oxygen cylinders on the informal black market. Before the outbreak of COVID-19, it was only 6,000 rupees (about 5,265,438 yuan +0 yuan RMB) to buy an oxygen bottle on the black market. However, with the outbreak of COVID-19 out of control in India, the price of an oxygen bottle has soared to 50,000 rupees (about 4,340 yuan), which is equivalent to the salary of an ordinary Indian worker for five months. And a bottle of oxygen of 50,000 rupees can only be regarded as the starting price on the black market. In other places, a bottle of oxygen even costs 65,438+10,000 rupees, which is almost close to the annual salary of ordinary people.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in India not only gave birth to the sale of black market oxygen bottles, but also gave birth to the sale of the antiviral drug Remdesivir. Remdesivir has been proved to be successful against COVID-19 in clinical trials in many countries around the world, so this drug has become the best choice for treating COVID-19 at present. Although Remdesivir has been approved for clinical trials in India, it is difficult for Indians to obtain the drug through formal channels due to insufficient production, so more and more Indians choose to buy Remdesivir on the black market, and the price of Remdesivir on the black market has been fried to seven times that of the formal channels. ?
