The country now has the highest per capita infection rate of any major country — 13,000 cases for every 1 million people.Chile looked as if it were well prepared to deal with the new coronavirus.
Like many well-to-do countries, Chile saw its first cases of COVID-19 among its elite — people who'd recently traveled to Europe and the United States. That was in April. The government quickly rolled out a plan to provide testing and treatment. Health officials quarantined hard-hit neighborhoods. Residents had to apply for a pass online before they could go out of their homes even to buy groceries. In late April, things were going so well that Chile was starting to talk about reopening.
And the high numbers are not just a reflection of an efficient testing infrastructure. Chile's per capita testing rate is lower than most European nations' and almost half the rate in the United States.Andrea Insunza, a journalist in Santiago, says the reason is something unrelated to the virus itself. That something is social inequity.
Insunza says part of the frustration is driven by the elite often not even seeming to recognize their privileged lifestyles.
Social and economic equality is a world issue of which simply becoming cognicent of its treachery will not be sufficient. Changes must be made to prolong our history.
For the most part the public system isn’t too bad. At least everyone has access to something. Right now the swankier private clinics have increased beds for Covid patients from the public system. It’s more complex than what’s been presented:
Do they drink vinegar ?
It is bad every where but they should handle better.
So as an aspiring American ex pat Chile seems pretty safe for me
According to the Left is because of Social Inequity, Social Justice and Savage Capitalism ... talking about a Virus coming from CHINA ! give me break guys... enough with the Communism man !
A robusto health care system that works ONLY for the rich. That's the answer...
Some experts find social inequalities or racism everywhere they look. It’s amazing.
The real reason is because it’s basically shaped like a funnel
Imaginary Bill Gates virus propaganda
Well it's nice to know it's not only 'white' majority countries that are racist. Seems like every non-communist country is riddled with systemic, institutional racism. Racism is everywhere and every single person is racist, except for the Chinese Russian and North Koreans
When in doubt...
