Peru Has The World's Highest Death Rate As Oxygen Supplies Run Out
![Eminem - Houdini [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/22tVWwmTie8/mqdefault.jpg)
Having to buy oxygen was one of those dystopian stories people used to tell 20 years ago.
i mean, technically in those stories it's a bit more different, and if you go on oxygen in hospitals, you still have to pay for it (if your insurance doesnt cover it)
a few years before the pandemic (actually probably 6 years ago) i went on oxygen (with medication mist or whatever) for around an hour because i had a pretty serious cough or something. luckly my insurance paid for it (i live in canada)
It literally is.
The comparison doesn't work out that well because breathing is still free everywhere.
It may be more correct to see this as a shortage of life-saving medicine since that's basically how the oxygen is used for the more severe covid cases. Healthy people and those with only light symptoms don't need it.
You think people didn’t buy oxygen 20 years ago?
to be true..
It's really sad to see people dying just because of oxygen shortage.
If you feel so strongly about it buy them some.
so in richier countries where no problems with oxigen people not dies from covid?
Bruh just breath 🙄
Its a joke
@@gemuelarquiza7293 shutup omg so racist
@@00pingvin00 they have higher chance of survival. Since the Covid-19 causing virus attack the cells in the lungs, they produce fluid and reduce the lung ability to create differential pressure, so the patient unable to breath air, ie oxygen properly. Hence this oxygen tank couple with a machine can deliver and force lung to inflate receive the oxygen need to survive. Poorer country has either less access or not able to buy as much as it is expensive. Need to roll dice to decide who lives
and even after all they've sacrificed and lost, they still dance for their dead with smiles on their faces
Without masks on or on properly.

Dear Peru friends,
In India we also faced same situation few days back. Please take care of people who have diabetes. Don't start steroid unless day 6-7. And make sure that cylinder you are using is properly sterilize, otherwise patient will have fungus even after recovery from Covid, which is more fatal.
Takecare brother and sisters.
I'm not from Peru, but I thank you just as much for this comment. Have a great day!
Here’s the translation
“Queridos amigos de Peru,
En la India también nos enfrentamos a la misma situación hace unos días. Cuide a las personas que tienen diabetes. No empiece a tomar esteroides a menos que los días 6-7 . Y asegúrese de que el cilindro que está utilizando esté esterilizado correctamente, de lo contrario, el paciente tendrá hongos incluso después de la recuperación de Covid, que es más fatal.

If you still believe that then you are, with all due respect, stupid. I am sorry your hatred for Trump and/or Conservatives have blinded your thinking. Did Trump make mistakes? OF COURSE...but nothing that happened was his fault or the fault of any world leader other than the leaders of China.

@@cdorothy444 why tree wood is so expensive| so expensive
SAD
That's capitalism.
well as india proceeded to do all ceremonial stuff for example ganges river and shiat and no one was wearing mask or keeping distance --- no wonder
Imagine what people in other countries must think of all the Americans complaining about mask mandates and refusing to take the COVID vaccine even to this very day.
It’s sad what people do, they complain about wearing masking yet dont realize how difficult it is for some people to even get masks and in this case people are waiting for days for just oxygen.
I agree it doesnt make sense for people to throw a tantrum for having to wear a mask, but I agree with those who have an issue with getting the vaccine.
The vaccines were approved for emergancy use which bypasses the FDA's extensive 6 month - and sometimes longer - review period. Usually a Biologics Liscense Application or BLA is submitted and queued for trials by the FDA. But all of our covid vaccines have been issued EUA's or Emergency Use Authorizations. Essentially, instead of clinical trials, the FDA goes off of the findings of the company producing the vaccine to determine if it's good enough. Sure, the vaccines were good enough for most, but some people died from it and some of those people were healthy and not at risk. And it's not just this time, but with past EAU's such as the recent convalescent plasma and Plaquenil.
I encourage people to argue with some supporting facts, not something you heard on CNN, Fox, Facebook, or any other corporation. I'm genuinely interested in the other parties argument.
For me, you don't know much, and I study epidemiology. We were to have a short lockdown, so we would get our infrastructure ready to prevent what Peru was going through. We were to move supplies gear up production to support the sick, create new beds find treatments, and develop tests. so we can give supportive treatment. Not cure the disease, but to prevent deaths. THe point was not to get rid of Covid, but to make sure the symptoms are suppress. People don't die just from having Covid, but from what it creates. Like Cytokine storms. We have some idea what to do, and if you look we gave them Hydroxychloroquine to reduce the immune response that creates the cytokine storms, and steroids to reduce the inflammation from it, and Z pak to prevent infections that might come afterwards. We gave Oxygen as for supportive cure. It was shear idiocy to wait for one year till we get a vacation. And now it's two years, and we are talking three.
Do you want to know why. The virus mutates. THe people you trust lied. We knew it mutates, because the Italian variant that swept through New York. The vaccine manufacture did not make the vaccine to stop the virus. It was only made using the spikes. THe spikes are the area most likely to mutate. Notice what part of the virus mutate to create the Delta virus? The Vaccine is made more like the FLu, and next year, we have to deal with a new strain. It's actually worse than the flu vaccine. If you understand immunity, it's better to immunize using the whole virus rather than a part. You get better longer lasting immunity that would actually give you partial immunity to all the variants. The reason I think the spikes were used, is it gives early immunity. But if we have immunity to other parts it might not be early enough to stop getting sick, but gives us a head start fighting it.
People in my country who do not want to take the vaccine do not say that the vaccine is not effective against the virus, but because it has not been studied enough for the reaction it can cause in the body, I have an acquaintance who will not take it because she has one drug allergy history
But it surprises me that people refuse to wear masks
@@yeyosilver7067 I worked in a place that I need a mask The regular surgical mask is only good for an hour or two. The problem is that after that, it gets moist, and won't filter, and we begin to touch our face . If you listen to half the medical professional, the mask is more likely to cause the person to get Covid, because it causes people to touch their face. But I am also in favor of a different route of treating this disease. I want to protect the vulnerable, but let the rest get the disease naturally. This would of gotten us to herd immunity faster. It is now doubtful , vaccine would ever get us herd immunity, and now the Icelandic chief epidemiologist has come out and stated that.
And people up here in the States whine about wearing masks at the store or work.
Yep idiots... not wishing anything bad to happen to anyone but maybe this in a way is what we needed to open everyone's eyes... but who am i kidding we would all be dead due to all the idiots in this country who are too selfish and rather risk exposing everyone before not going to work or outside.

When you say that medical oxygen supply from hospitals is like taking water from a tap and people are buying bottles, you have to understand that buying a cylinder is the only option a person has who didn't get a hospital bed. When hospitals get overwhelmed you get people dying on the gates and in parking lots of the hospitals just waiting for a bed. Also for people isolating at home, which are a lot, oxygen concentrators or cylinders are the only options and both of them are easy to black market.

chilean here. i remember when the first infected person came into the country. contact tracers tried to find people who could have been infected by him. some slipped through, and now we got 1.7 million confirmed cases in cases. good thing is that we managed to treat them well and only 37 thousand people have died so far
I see comments about having to pay for oxygen being unfair or dystopian... You are wrong, that's AIR not OXYGEN. if you understood what it takes to get oxygen, you'd understand why it has a price attached to it.
You need a pressure vessel to contain it. It needs to be specific metal and highly inspected before it can be approved of use, because compressed gas tank failure is pretty traumatic. Because of costs to make it, most tanks are re-used until they fail, especially so in countries with few to little inspection requirements. I've seen a tank that was used in world war 2 still in use at the shop I work at.
You need to run a cryogenic pump for HOURS to filter enough out of the air to fill a tank, and if you want it to go faster, that requires a specifically engineered custom designed cryogenic system to increase production.
You need to use regulated high pressure parts to assemble the machine. You need people who know what they're doing to assemble that machine. You need dedicated personnel to run that machine, it can never be automatic, because auto-pressure/temp systems and switches fail regularly.
This, and more, are reasons somebody needs to pay for it.
I visited here in the summer before the pandemic hit. Sad to know that many of the people I saw are probably gone now
@ॐ What a stupid comment. How could they meet me if they never noticed me 😂???
I guess Lay's chips aren't completely worthless after all...
My heart goes out to everyone in those countries.
So basically where fighting love. When we find love, it all ends. That’s love for everyone not just yourself and family
I hope this channel gives money to the people that they interview
Realistically we know the answer
NAAAAAAH
Probably not, maybe only on the iniciative of the journalists (payed with the journalists' salaries)
We saw him desperate to buy oxygen for him mom before she died... its heart breaking... 😞
Prayers for Peru.Stay safe .Love from 🇮🇳
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Feel grateful to be at home with your loved ones and enjoy moments of peace moments of union with lots of love
Greetings from Perú
You mean Inca 😂😂😂
@@astrophotos8368 You're not funny, grow up
So heartbreaking seeing these tragedies happening. While so many of us live privileged sheltered lives in societies of abundance, literally they are running out of the most basic of needs, oxygen. In the rich world, people are so selfish and ignorant, that they are willing to throw away life saving vaccines.
Horrible.
My heart just keeps breaking watching these innocent people suffer.
This is heartbreaking. Potable water and oxygen are 2 fundamental things that countless people die without...but many of us unintentionally take for granted every single day. 🥺❤️
Seeing this just made my day worse knowing this is going on.
You know, I thought that oxygen was expensive enough when you buy a packet of chips, but turns out I was wrong
That’s nitrogen
@@modman4842 you're missing the point of the comment
Speaking from oxygen experience from a welding perspective, one thing not covered is the safety requirements for compressed oxygen and especially liquid (LOX). Pure oxygen is both life-giving and also extremely dangerous all in one. Also, medical-grade oxygen has a lot more stringent requirements than "industrial" use oxygen, hence the higher price.
In Ecuador the prices are at $1200 per cylinder, the average monthly salary is $400.
Thanks is heartbreaking to watch 😢
So Peru is suffering the same problem as India now.
Peru was always like this, they just underreported cases
The Indian problem is now solved as of June 1 2021.
@@ramkumarsuresh how can it be solved lol
@@mirabletest cases in India have dropped significantly , 500 new oxygen plants are opening, almost all beds are available , no more shortage of drugs, just afraid that there might be a third wave on the way

MY FATHER SUFFERED 14 DAYS HE DIED 18 MAY ,FOR SOME REASON SRILANKA IS NOT SHORT OF OXYGEN ,HE DIES IN MY ARMS I KNOW HOW ITS FEELING WHEN SOME ONE U LOVE FIGHTING JUST TO BREATH ,TODAY IM WITH TEARS NOT FOR MY FATHER BUT FOR THESE PPL ,HOW THE HELL THEY CAN WATCH THR LOVED ONES DIE 😔😔😔
There are a lot of ways to have oxygen, instead of using the typical cylinders, they can use the built in oxygen, portable ones that are easily transportable and won't explode nor ran out afterwards. Types of oxygen for different needs wherein they are exported and imported eitherways by countries that manufactures the said needs. SME General Practices,Practitioners all fields of studies are orderly and efficient.
Never got covid, nor hospitalized, but when my cousin's uncle got covid, he needs prayers and med.oxygen. Unfortunately he died.
You can't be sure, mb you did get it, but it was in a very light form/asymptomatic. May your uncle rest in peace.
I am very sorry that happened, sorry for your loss; may he rest in peace.
That's so sad
Nothing can replace collective and self discipline. You can't afford to let the virus spread wildly.
Alright true but maybe blame the source, instead of an unprepared 3rd world country.
Wouldn’t you expect more collective and self discipline from a lab of scientists where this all started?
@@MikeGlasses conspiracy theory. There' s no proof that it started in a lab. It's merely a hypothesis.
@⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻ "Clues" are for conspiracy theorists. Proofs are for rationalists. As of now, it's merely a hypothesis.
My heart goes out to peru. In zimbabwe here we are currently facing an up surge of confirmed cases. Localised lockdowns have already been made and now with the continued surge in numbers we are coming into a national lockdown. Cultural influences have been much to blaim with many not taking covid 19 seriously thinking its an american, asian or european thing worse still that only rich people are the only ones affected. I pray that my people take this seriously and take appropriete measures ro protect themselves🙏🙏
2year back just before the pandemic we used to buy 350 per cylinder.... And it became 500 and after first wave 750 now it is 2500...
Can't believe that animated movie that sells expensive air, that people say will happen in the future is actually happening
Lorax
Yeah and it scares me
You do know that people have been using bottled oxygen for life extension for many decades, right? This isn't new.
@@MrTheclevercat it's not new... Obviously, but being in demand and crisis is a different story. Idk the thing went over your head.
@@jeffmeme6163 Your comment was hysterical. "oh my gawd I can't believe we live in the future where air is expensive I thought that was impossible and made no sense reeeee!!!"
i rlly hope my grandma and aunt in the philippines won’t have to buy oxygen to survive since they got covid
Dont worry, the Philippines dont have oxygen shortage even just incase your relatives needed an oxygen.
Dont worry ph is in a great condition when it comes to oxygen
I feel Lenin’s pain, both my grandma and aunt gout COVID near the same time and when my aunt passed away my family spent nearly as much as him buying oxygen,medicine, and a private doctor or some but she also passed.
My family is from Peru and my uncle passed away due to the lack of oxygen tanks.
I thought the title said "Why oxegen is so explosive?"
We all would have died lol
I'm on oxygen post COVID-19. I empathize and my heart goes out to those who don't have insurance or even the funds to continue care. 💔😥🙏
don't cry , Strong warrior for God is there with you , Jesus is love , he loves everyone no matter what ever they have done
Jesus wept for John the Baptist and lazurs , he loves and cries for u , no matter how many times u failed he still loves you and will never give up on u ❤️. The greatest man in history is Jesus. He had no servant yet they called him master . He had no degree , yet they called him teacher . He had no medicines yet they called him healer . He had no army , yet kings feared him . He has not won military battles yet he conquered the world . He committed no crime yet he was crucified . He was bruised tomb . Yet he lives today
Spread the Love of our Lord ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜. Hope you are having a great day
@@jjj4189 This is not a religions video yet you still want to promote your gar bage God here? Why? There are 2 other major religions, why is your God better than them? Did he su ck you off?
@@0deepak there is only one God 🙏 and i am it offended you . I just wanted to share this message to encourage and save her
@@jjj4189 Yeah, that is what people from other religions say as well. Also God ain't gonna save anyone, science will. Why didn't he save all the other people who died from covid then? So yeah please keep God in a place where sun does not sh ine.
@@0deepak Jesus said he is the way truth and life , no one come to gather except through me . Other religions like Buddha was still Searching for the truth .
No one has faith or trust in God , God has given free will to everyone , if u ask him to protect u he will , i had faith in God . I am still healthy jesut because of God
I'm from Bolivia and the situation is pretty similar here. It is so frustrating that our healthcare system does not count with liquid oxygen conected directly to hospitals.
Same here in India 🙏
Looks like we developing countries need to seriously control population growth 🙏
So incredibly sad every single person living in a rich country should watch this video to see how lucky we are great video and RIP to all the people who died due to COVID.
Sounds about human to me. Is there anything on this planet doesn't come with a price tag? Not to my knowledge
In India DRDO is testing new medicine which is cutting down oxygen shortage in body within sometimes with a reasonable price and making it a easier option for using it by any one in a simpler way.
Prayers from India 🇮🇳❤️🇵🇪
