This could very well become common one day in the Apocalypse:
One by one, the infants and children slipped away Thursday night, their parents watching helplessly as oxygen supplies at the government hospital ran dangerously low.
At least 30 children died Thursday and into Friday at a hospital in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh after its supply of liquid oxygen was disrupted over an unpaid bill, officials said. A Home Ministry spokesman told the Press Trust of India, citing police reports, that 21 of the deaths were directly linked to a shortage of oxygen.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. as medical practitioners and relatives — the tanks running dry — handed out manual resuscitator bags to families in a desperate attempt to save the young patients.
“We saw children dying around us,” said the father of one victim, who gave his name only as Vijay. “Obviously, it’s the hospital’s fault. So many children have died because of them. My son was fine until nighttime, then something wrong happened.”
Two more children died Saturday at the Baba Raghav Das Medical College hospital in Gorakhpur, an impoverished area in the eastern part of the state, as authorities scrambled to firm up supplementary supplies and investigate the tragedy. The government suspended the medical college principal Saturday.
The state’s health minister and hospital officials have denied charges that the deaths were caused by the oxygen bill dispute. An estimated 60 children have died at the hospital since Aug. 7 from a variety of causes, officials said.
In a news conference Saturday, the state’s chief minister, Yogi Adityanath, called the tragedy despicable and said the state had set up a committee to investigate the role of the oxygen vendor.
It is almost unimaginable to us that this could happen. But when resources grow short enough, and the money just isn’t there, this is what happens. The vender can’t get it unless he has the money, and he can’t get the money unless the buyer gives it to him. No money at the outset, no oxygen.
It is a measure of how r-selected our times are, that you really could not imagine this happening anywhere. People would always find the oxygen, no matter whether payment was forthcoming or not. When you think about it, you can see how that disconnect between having to have the money and the resources being provided, could degrade the part of the brain which is designed to link actions and consequences.
Spread r/K Theory, because the oxygen will not always be there

India will become an even more interesting place when the apocalypse hits than it already is now, especially with the always present factor of public defecation.
Normies look at preppers like they are mental. Lets see how mental it is to not die from starvation, violence or infection when the whole Western socialist system collapses on itself.
I wanted to leave this on the Charlottesville post, but comment were disabled there:

“We will most likely see these type events explode peaking out in real bloodshed by September 21/22nd, 2019 (2019.725). So expect to see this civil unrest continue to rise especially after 2017.”
Reminds me of the people who let their children play with the migrant children in public schools and daycare. Many of those migrant children are high spreading antibiotic resistant TB carriers. So get used to seeing the little coffins for children, which is just about the saddest thing ever, because there is a critical mass of stupid in the West. And no matter what happens, however bad it gets, just remember- it was all avoidable.
LOOKS LIKE NATURAL SELECTION’S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!
I was once peripherally involved with the very expensive care of a Burmese “American” child. I recall thinking to myself, “Mothers in Burma love their broken children too, but in Burma, there are not the resources to spend on them, so they die at home”.
I could see this happening in Detroit, especially if Detroit were left to sink or swim on its own.
