Brickbat: He Can't Breathe

Police in Uttar Pradesh, India, have charged Shashank Yadav with spreading misleading information after he tweeted an appeal for oxygen for his dying grandfather.

Yadav did not reveal what his grandfather was suffering from. Officials said the grandfather died of a heart attack.

Police in Uttar Pradesh, India, have charged Shashank Yadav with spreading misleading information...
Here in the US, the left just got a boner.
Well then, they won’t like it when the charges get dismissed and the judge criticizes the prosecution for bringing the charge in the first place. You might even call it... Shashank’s Redemption.
Anyone originally accused is still a Freeman.

Covid fear porn. This is like Penthouse letters for the two mask crowd.
Charged with a crime for "spreading misleading information." That's bound to make a lot of politicians here very jealous.
And Twitter is helping to enforce it.
"Officials insist there is no oxygen shortage in hospitals in Uttar Pradesh"

Do they not have portable oxygen concentrators in India?
They have one third the medical capacity as the US with quintuple the population. Half their population still doesn’t have toilets or hand washing. The country is so backwards and unprepared for covid that a deadly pandemic will improve life for the survivors, by freeing up resources.
Thanos must have been inspired by India in hoping to eradicate 50% of life, to save the remainder a miserable existence.
Thats good article.
