A concert at Gurgaon near Delhi by the heavy metal band Metallica was cancelled yesterday at the last minute because organisers were unable to replace a security barricade near the stage that broke due to crowd pressure. Naturally people reacted with rage and some $200,000 worth of equipment was destroyed. Meanwhile in Bengal 12 babies aged between 3hours and 10 months died within a period of 24 hours. Two days earlier 11 babies had died at BC Roy Hospital in Kolkata in one day. Freeloading journalists go hysterical at this " neglect " of children of poor people because it is only the poor who go to government hospitals. Babies less than 2 years of age are extremely fragile and vulnerable. Infection in one will infect others within a period of hours. An infected baby needs to be isolated, needs barrier nursing, incubator and expensive antibiotics none of which can be afforded by a government hospital. All these hospitals were built 50 years ago and no one foresaw the population explosion that has ruined this country. With 3 babies to each cot there is no way any hospital can prevent spread of infection. The doubling time of E coli is around 20 minutes so starting with one bacillus and doubling every 20 minutes you would have billions within 12 hours. Little babies, malnourished and underweight to start with, stand no chance. In other news, Income Tax fellows are now targeting Kejriwal's wife while other Gestapo agencies of the government are after Kiran Bedi. The Feral Dog continues to spew venom against civil society members while the Wide Receiver increases taxes to cover for the Commonwealth Games loot. Incredible India.
