Beyond Trump's Wall: the Americans riding out coronavirus in Latin America

While thousands of Americans sought help from the government or private security firms to evacuate, others chose to stay, worried about what they see as a skyrocketing U.S. caseload made worse by laxer containment measures.

“I’m very happy I got to the lake,” she said. “I get to wake up and swim and not be in New York City, which seems pretty terrible right now.” An estimated 9 million Americans live overseas, according to an 2015 estimate from U.S. Department of State, but it is not clear how many are in Latin America as a whole.

“I think people who can actually grow some food are going to be better off than people who can’t,” she said. Since late November she has been in Mexico, a frequent travel destination, but has a flight booked back to Oregon on April 5, where she would have more outdoors access compared with the still-crowded sidewalks of her current neighborhood.

It’s the border asshole

Why? Fewer people traveling to and from Asia?

... neat?

The life of the privileged eh?

She is smart for not coming back to the epicenter of outbreak. Somebody raised her right. 👍

But what is she doing for money?!? shockhorror

And this is news because...?

This is news because?

Don’t give a 💩

Rich New Yorkers are spreading the virus worldwide, not just in Connecticut and New Jersey. Glad to know.

So what? That's not news. It has no value for the rest of the world. None. Go back to work!!!

doesn't sound bad at all

flat like a airport

How nice for her. 🥱

Hot

Lovely. I'm spending the pandemic working my arse off for my 100+ students, homeschooling my 6-year old and worrying about my friends and relatives all over the world. I occasionally crochet. Just a reality check, eh.

Smart move. 🤓

Whoop Di freaking do.

that kinda lowered my level of respect for reuters nothing more newsworthy seriously?

This is just half a story. For instance, what’s her source of income? - if she set off for Hawaii how come she’s in Guatemala?

Who gives a shit?

Another under 30 who thinks it’s all a big vacation?

So what ?

I almost went there, Lake Atitlan, for a yoga retreat but we canceled seeing how things were turning. Hopefully, things won't turn bad there, I rather have the resources of a first world country in a crisis like this.

Slow news day?

Good luck with that

Hmm, she is smart.

The Irish guy in Iraq is s riding out the COVIDー19 crisis by developing new training, offering to support the Kurdistan government, sourcing COVIDー19 response medical items and try not to worry about my kids back home... No guitar or strumming unfortunately.

White privilege

Yeah she's safe 'cause the virus is banned by government order from entering the country.

Must be nice not having to work.

So she’s fighting the virus by becoming a parasite?
