The Supreme Court of the country has labelled it a <em>tsunami and not a wave.<\/em><br \/>The number of cases are increasing by the minute surpassing all previous records and India is leading the world in the number of positive cases being reported.<br \/>Everyone is feeling the heat. Hospitals are literally overflowing with COVID-19 positive patients. Supply of essential medicines and\u00a0 oxygen has fallen short. Medical facilities are fast running out of beds, doctors, and healthy healthcare workers.<br \/>Fortunately the system has not totally collapsed as yet. Though it sure seems like it&#8217;s on the brink of it.<br \/>Let us take a holistic view of the situation and try to formulate an action plan that could help us dig our way out of this
