Gut-wrenching visuals from India – the Covid crisis is deepening. Sending prayers that the nation comes out of this.
Please, everyone, mask up. Don’t let the idea that we’re vaccinated (or going to be soon) allow you to let your guard down.
Observe all SOPs. Save lives.— Osman Khalid Butt (@aClockworkObi) April 23, 2021
