Nikhil has been flooded with over 50 patients a day with fever and cough-like symptoms, much greater than usual. Whether we like it or not, patients will come to village doctors days or even weeks before they show up at a hospital. They are not our enemies -- they are fellow soldiers in the same noble fight against disease and misinformation. In this war, we will either fight together, or die together.
