India is currently dealing with a devastating second Covid-19 wave that has swept through the nation, crushing the country's health infrastructure and overburdening frontline medical workers. The outbreak of the second wave of corona is being witnessed across the country. Although the number of new covid cases appears to be declining but threat till persists.

With more than two and a half lakh patients being registered every day, there is a strain on the health system. As a result, many do not receive timely treatment. A young man living in Panipat, Haryana, had a similar experience.

A young man infected with Covid was suffering from chest pains and difficulty breathing. The man identified as Pradeep Singh, a resident of Nangala village in Panipat made efforts to find oxygen cylinder. But as he could not get an oxygen cylinder, he went and sat in the field thinking what will happen now. He took refuge under a tree. Within three days, his body's oxygen levels returned to normal. In ten days he recovered from the disease. 

Over the last few days, almost all the states in the country have been facing shortage of oxygen. Pradip Singhwas also infected with corona and tried his best to get an oxygen cylinder. Seeing the state of the hospitals, he decided to stay at home in isolation. When the oxygen level dropped to 80, Pradip and his relatives called several people requesting for cylinder. But to no avail.

Pradip Singh went to the field as he could not get oxygen cylinder. For the next 10 days, he would sit under the trees for 8 to 10 hours every day. He also used to eat there. Within three days, his body's oxygen levels returned to normal. Gradually his chest pain also subsided. Pradeep began to feel confident as his breathing difficulties went away. On May 13, Pradeep's test report came back negative. In just 10 days, Pradeep recovered from covid by staying close to nature.
