India has set yet another world record for coronavirus cases, recording 412,000 infections in just 24 hours. India reported nearly 4,000 deaths Thursday — the highest daily death toll for any nation during the pandemic except the United States. On Wednesday, India’s Supreme Court ordered the government to submit a plan to supply adequate oxygen to more than 40 Delhi hospitals amid dire shortages that have left COVID patients gasping for breath. India administered fewer than 2 million vaccine doses Thursday — about half the pace of inoculations reached in March — amid a severe shortage of doses for India’s 1.3 billion people. Just over 2% of India’s population is fully vaccinated.
