Minister Jaime Mañalich himself recognized it today, and apologized for it: the change in criteria established yesterday by the Ministry of Health regarding the separate reporting of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases of coronavirus caused confusion. That is why the Minsal had to correct its initial decision and keep everyone equally on the list of confirmed cases that is delivered daily at the press conference that has already become a ritual.
However, even if one decided not to incorporate change and only count cases with symptoms, today’s news was not encouraging. After the government highlighted stability in daily cases in recent days, even talking about a “plateau”, today the figure reached 888, the highest since the report exists, of which 780 are symptomatic cases – also the highest figure, with or without modification. In total, Chile exceeded 16,000 cases, exceeding 200 deaths.
In the world the realities are very variable. Brazil sees its situation worsen and, with it, the position of its president, Jair Bolsonaro. In Spain, the most critical hours seem to have passed, and permits are slowly growing. And from various parts, slowly, there are still encouraging news about vaccines and possible medicines, all moving at breakneck speed, all moving slower than you want.
