Kumbha Mela Linked to Super spreader Event in India

 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/may/30/kumbh-mela-how-a-superspreader-festival-seeded-covid-across-india?

PADA: Oh oh. Some of the sadhus who said cow urine would protect them, died of the virus. Other attempts, such as spreading cow dung, also did not seem to slow down things. Now they are contact tracing cases back to Kumbha Mela, where the pilgrims returned to their homes, and spread this illness around in their home area.

My friend who lives in India now says -- where he lives -- he smells death almost all the time. There are burning dead bodies, and perhaps dead bodies that are just buried in shallow graves, tossed into a river etc. -- randomly here and there. He reported that -- everywhere -- smells bad. 

It just smells better or worse in some areas, but it is impossible to avoid the smell altogether, even when eating, trying to take rest and etc. He worries that the virus is getting spread around even more in the wind -- by blowing the smell around it might also be carrying particles of the virus too, maybe that is the case.  

I could say this has been mis-handled there, at the same time, containing any problem in India is like wrestling an alligator, or maybe a dozen alligators. It is no easy task to get any large project coordinated there. I feel bad for the citizens who have to suffer to much grief and evidently -- the smell of death. This is obviously some kind of advance of Kali Yuga and unfortunately, the more Kali progresses, the more people have to suffer. 

The only good news is that here in California we have less cases, at least for the present time. My hospital worker friends say that there are hardly any people coming in sick. The citizens here have used prevention measures, and they are evidently working. In any case, India is a mess and I can only pray that things won't get too bad for our devotee associates and friends there. ys pd
