As a person living in Kerala what I see in my local online interactions is so different from what I get to see from other parts of the country. The neighborhood WhatsApp group puts out cautionary advices and calls to apply for online vaccine registries but what is absent is frantic calls for looking up oxygen cylinders, beds, ICUs and other anti-epidemic supplies. It is disconcerting that it seems as if there are two parallel realities simultaneously. While Delhi and Rajasthan are running out of oxygen supply, IRCTC putting out Oxygen trains and the supreme court tackling cases, Kerala is busy exporting oxygen to the states of Goa, Tamilnadu and Karnataka.

A combination of factors have led to this peculiar positive development. In short we produce more than we use.

Firstly is Adequate manufacturing and storage capacity of the state.In a single day, Kerala’s oxygen plants can produce up to 199 metric tonne of medical oxygen.  An average of the past six days until April 18 shows that Kerala used 89.75 metric tonne of medical oxygen per day. Secondly is the redirection of all oxygen supplies away from industries towards medical use and proper resource allocation. Thirdly is the conversion of liquid oxygen to medical oxygen. When the pandemic started, the state re-routed gaseous industrial waste from the Kerala Metals and Minerals Ltd (KMML), and converted it to liquid medical oxygen to be used in hospitals. And fourthly is just having a government that priotizes infrastructure and health, the functioning of Public Sector Enterprises in the field and proper planning in forethought. All of these reasons have contributed to ensuring a steady supply of oxygen to ensure Kerala doesn't choke in times of acute health crises.
