Many who repatriate are lured by a vibrant startup scene in India that is drawing unprecedented capital from venture and private equity firms and is buoyed by an effervescent market for stocks. But they are also disenchanted with what they perceive as America’s bleak and hopeless immigration landscape, where the wait times for green cards are tortuously long, and the limits on launching startups for newcomers are highly restrictive.

Something doesn’t add up, isn’t quarantined facilities or isolation wards are mostly run by the govt. run hospitals? Why would someone end up in a private hospital? Just curious to know
D1: govt allowed private hospitals to treat corona patients. To increase bed capacity in each town, city. I think that’s still a good move. That way, at least rich & super rich don’t hold beds in public hospitals that can be used for poor.

Imagine falling sick here OP, that’s worse.
Yes I am actually not worried about me or someone in particular. Our country in general. There is only 1 bed for every 1000 patients in India (including public & private hospitals). And, if avg corona treatment in private hospital is around 5-7 lakhs (let’s say) then most of our people cannot afford private medication and public hospitals will give up very soon.
I am just worried that how we as a nation survive this in coming months.

Yeah it’s not great. I’m hoping we have elevated levels of immunity in India that will help. Not sure if that’s scientific reasoning or not.

States are building isolation ward staffed with govt and some private docs. Center is doing its part as well - for example railways has converted dozens of its coaches already into isolation wards and more coaches are being converted. Can't force private sector to do anything.. Altho SC today has passed a judgement that private testing for corona has to be free of cost. Wrong judgement. SC shouldn't interfere like this with Executive. Wrong precedent
