Doctors in India are being attacked by relatives of Covid victims as anger mounts over the country's collapsing healthcare system which has been crippled by a brutal second wave of Covid. It has 13 mutations that separate it from the original Covid virus that emerged in China — but the two main ones are named E484Q and L452R. It has increased beds for virus patients, but hasn't hired any additional doctors, quadrupling the workload, Tara said.

Having to focus so heavily on the pandemic has left many medical students anxious about their future.
