Elderly COVID-19 survivors with no home find warmth at Hyderabad hospital

There are many older people who don't really have family connections in the world. It's interesting to see cases of people who were living in adult care facilities and contracted Covid. They end up in the hospital to be treated but then there is nowhere to send them after. It's interesting to see stories like this and I wonder how it will end for Ms. Nagendramma.

Hyderabad Smog Clears During Lockdown

The pictures are two from late February that show the level of smog and haze in the sky and another from 1.5 months later where the sky is blue. I have NEVER seen a blue sky in Hyderabad - it’s always a constant haze and it shows the stark contrast and effect we have on the environment. The picture from the Hyderabad golf club was taken about 10AM in the morning without a cloud in the sky.

Empty flights

My mom took this photo on their flight from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad to Kotoka International Airport in Ghana, Africa. It looks like people had reduced travelling even before Ghana announced a lockdown. The flight was deserted, and so was the airport. Although the virus hadn’t spread to Ghana at the time, the airport authorities checked the temperature of every disembarked passenger before letting them go.
