印度单日新增新冠确诊病例数近期连创新高。据印度《每日新闻与分析》24日报道，印度一边境部队的士兵采用吸入蒸汽的方式防治新冠。与此同时，一位中国姑娘近日实拍印度防疫情况，视频中的印度小伙直言自己不害怕新冠。
India is fighting a second, and more deadly, wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. With medical facilities, particularly supplies of oxygen, falling short in the country, people in India are turning towards alternative, instead of scientific methods, to control and prevent the epidemic.Social media is abuzz with wild virus-prevention claims. One such viral post says, "If you want to stay safe and kill the coronavirus, which could be hiding inside your nose, then you should start using steam, which will reach to your nose and kill the virus."

The post further reads, "COVID-19 can be killed by inhaling steam from the nose or mouth, eliminating the coronavirus. If all the people started a steam drive campaign for a week, the pandemic will soon end."According to Daily News and Analysis in India, the video of steam inhalation therapy has gone viral. Videos even show troops at India's border area resorting to this "innovative technique".
The worst outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't moved people to take necessary, science-based, action against the disease. Recently, a Chinese girl recorded a video of epidemic "prevention" in India.
It shows few protective measures except the curfew. Many people were doing business and walking dogs as usual. People even gathered together without masks, ignoring the severity of the coronavirus. A young man bluntly said that he is not afraid of COVID-19. Furthermore, he nonchalantly said: "No corona. Only football, cricket, sleeping." The Chinese girl who shot the video was shocked by the attitude towards the virus in India.As of April 25, India had registered 349,691 new novel coronavirus infections over the preceding 24 hours. This is the fourth day the daily figure was over 300,000. To date, more than 16 million people in India have been infected.
