WITH AT least 18 deaths in the past 10 days, Titoli village in Rohtak district of Haryana is on the edge. While six of these deaths, confirm health officials, are related to Covid, villagers claim the count is much more. According to them, around 40 people have died of a ?mystery fever? in the past two weeks.
The deaths have prompted the district administration to begin setting up a Covid centre in the village, around 60 km from Delhi, the first such centre in rural Haryana.
?Last week, I prepared a list of 32 persons who died recently. After that, the village has been witnessing an average of two deaths a day due to high temperature,?? says Suresh Kumar, who was speaking on behalf of his sister-in-law Pramila, the village sarpanch. ??People from all age groups have fallen victim to this fever. As many as six persons who died after a bout with fever were below the age of 35.?

Okieman Comment: Sounds like Covid is definitely in the mix. But setting up a containment zone? When much of India is in the middle of a terrible wave of Covid? It is "not what they say, but what they do" that is important in times like these. I will post this in the India Covid thread as well. The local folks definitely think something different than Covid is going on.
