Argentina surpassed 200,000 COVID-19 instances on Sunday and Colombia set a record when dark milestones collapsed in Latin America, bringing the world’s hardest-hit region to a total of five million instances.
The region, which exceeded 200,000 deaths on Saturday, has struggled to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, and infections are accelerating in many countries as governments seek to ease blockades and stimulate economic growth.
Latin America, which accounts for about 8% of the world’s population, accounts for approximately 30% of cases and deaths worldwide, and infections still spread and affect regional leaders such as Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil and Jeanine Anez of Bolivia.
Colombia recorded 300,000 cases and 10,000 deaths last week. Argentina, which has controlled temporarily to curb the spread of the virus, has recently experienced an increase in infections. Five Latin American countries are now in the 10 most sensitive cases in the world, according to a Reuters account.
Brazil, the region’s highest affected country and the worst time in the world, has more than 2.73 million instances and more than 94,000 deaths.
The South American giant, which set a record for new instances last week, recorded an overall decline of 2,500 instances on Sunday, giving the impression that it will likely prevent the region from crossing the five million mark until Monday.
Mexico recorded more than 9,000 new virus infections on Saturday and is now the country with the third number of deaths in the world.
Peru, which recently exceeded 400,000 cases, has experienced a damaging resurgence of infections after alleviating quarantine restrictions in an effort to revive a collapsed economy. 7,448 instances were registered last May.
In the region, already fragile fitness systems are being pushed or overloaded, while economic expansion is expected to sink to around 9%, increasing poverty and unemployment.
Centuries of colonialism and its fashionable appearance, imperialism, have created a continent without a forged social infrastructure and impoverished vast swaths of population that paint to enrich their ruling elites with the sweat of their fronts, thus offering the best “Petri dish” for viruses to flourish and thrive and, by the way, serve as a springboard to spread the virus to other parts of the world. Far-right leaders like Bolsonaro of Brazil seem to be following a trail of “collective immunity” that can become a plague trend towards a genocidal policy aimed at indigenous peoples, blacks and the poor.
The virus is spreading all over the world. It has nothing to do with colonialism or the oppression of blacks and Aboriginal peoples. Stop playing with me for your crazy Work of Antifa.
According to the nuts here, this is colonialism, and at least when the Europeans were there, they were more organized.
This is a challenge due to high corruption and lack of social protection.
Reamer said the challenge of high-level corruption and the lack of social coverage created through the beyond colonialism/imperialism Array… so you’re essentially saying the same thing.
The fundamental global source of revenue is just a solution. Working for 1% is not safe
I’ve been living in Latin America lately. There are many cases, but life is still here because other people have bigger problems. Everyone is happy, all businesses are open. There are precautions in the position and that’s it.
@Jbigs, very happy to hear that. It’s a continent I hope to see someday.
Latin America has the most corrupt governments in the world after Africa, Latin Americans lead very bad lives, most people are obese and have chronic diseases, and the fitness formula is a joke. Lived there for many years, no wonder.
global central source of revenue ??? hahahaha I can’t help laughing. you could well have said that unicorns and rainbows can solve the problem: D

I think through the 2 apparitions of the word “Latin”, your total sentence still makes a lot of sense. haha.
Millions of other poor people in Africa, Asia and the Americas living unsafe lives and without access to good physical care are vulnerable to the virus and are likely to suffer the maximum before the pandemic takes place in the next 1 to 2 years. Matrix And as long as these marginalized populations continue to harbor the virus, we, the other people of the evolved world, will not be able to sleep from the dream of the righteous. We all travel in combination on the same Earth spacecraft, as the Greek word “pandemic” means. We are all afraid, very afraid, especially now that we perceive how many of our government leaders have failed to flatten the curve because of greed, ignorance, lack of courage, and absolute incompetence.
we’re falling
Centuries of colonialism and its form, imperialism,
I have escaped your attention that socialist paradises are not immune to this virus (or any other).
we’re falling
The millions of deficient people in Africa, Asia and the Americas living precarious, malnourished lives and without good enough physical care are vulnerable to the virus.
“Millions of deficient people” as in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea? Oh seriously? One way or another, I don’t think they’re worse off than the millions of Americans with morbid obesity and their diabetes is due to junk food. There are concepts like way of life and choice, you know.
“Millions of deficient people” as in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea?
No, as in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Mongolia, China, Asia Central Array.. Not to mention that the virus has yet ended with Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, where its poorest may be waiting to suffer the weight of the pandemic and, as a consequence, the economic slowdown or the resulting collapse.
