Britain rushed to increase aid for India's teetering health care system on Sunday, promising more ventilators and expert advice as doctors grapple with a surge in coronavirus infections that is killing thousands of people a day.
The U.K. government said it will send an additional 1,000 ventilators to India. In addition, England's National Health Service, which has battled one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in Europe, is creating an advisory group to share its expertise with Indian authorities.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson plans a video meeting with his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, on Tuesday to discuss further cooperation between the two countries, the U.K. government said in statement.

It's what normal nations do when there is a crisis in the world. Given Britain's relationship with India it would seem that they should be at the head of the pack in providing aid, but they had their own virus issues to deal with.

Good morning, ma'am. Glad that India will be getting help but also think that the country is ripe for epidemic disaster due to overcrowding and under developed hygienic conditions in the cities and rural areas.
