A container for all my views with excerpts from technology, travel, films, books, kannada, friends and other interests. I am Thejesh GN, friends call me Thej.
I am sorry for being late. 2021 has not been an easy year, personally. With so many things going around me, I couldn’t give mind-space or time to work on it. Since this is close to my heart, I couldn’t decide without spending time on it. That said, we have the results now.
We (Volunteers from DataMeet and Road Scholarz) are recording deaths due to the lack of Oxygen, shortage of Oxygen, or denial of Oxygen in hospitals during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in India. The deaths recorded are based on reports from newspapers and news media in English and regional languages, social media, and networks of volunteers working on the ground. We have been tracking these sources, verifying details, checking for duplication, and extracting the necessary information from these reports.
My family has recovered. They are doing well now. But It took a lot of time, mind-space, and energy. My productivity went down drastically. Also, my close friends are positive now. It takes quite a bit of energy to focus on when something of this sort is going around, which I have not been able to do.
I sent an email to the announcement group on April 14th but didn’t blog about it here. I should have, especially because many are not on the announcement list. You can join the NMG announcement list by sending an email to nmg-announce+subscribe@thejeshgn.com; say hello.
There are many ways to subscribe to this blog. Email is probably the best.
