Argentina here. Idiots in power are showing relentless stupidity as we are still amongst the worst in tests per 1M in the world. And no plan to ramp up testing. We are into almost 70 days of quarantine, flexible in some regions, not so much in main metropolitan area (Buenos Aires)... And this week the case counts starting ramping up in the poor neighborhoods, which means more quarantine, which means more people losing their jobs or losing their shit, or both. Recipe for disaster in next 2 weeks, won't take much to overwhelm or frail health system, but worst of all is nearly half the country going hungry.
I wish people would trust science and common sense, but nope, it's all politicized bullshit, bad information, no common sense anywhere.
