In Europe, it seems that the worst days of the corona virus are over, at least for now. In several of the worst affected countries, the curve has leveled off.
But in many parts of the world, the virus still functions as a powerful wave. Both in Africa and South America they fear high deaths.
Ecuador is seriously affected by the corona virus. On Friday morning, according to Johns Hopkins University, there were 30,300 cases of the virus and more than 1,500 deaths.
According to CNN, the health care system in the country’s largest city, Guayaquil, collapsed just weeks after the pandemic exploded in March. To the news channel, Arturo Ramos says that the authorities do not know what the body of his late father is like.
Last month, according to CNN, it was possible to see dead on the streets of the city with three million people, after funeral homes and funeral homes had exceeded their capacity. Families then had to leave the dead outdoors for fear of infections and odors.
Several doctors draw the same image.
“People were terrified,” says a doctor about when the wave hit Guayaquil at its worst.
– Really sick people came to the hospital, dying. You took care of one, you did what you could, and when he died, you had to move on. Also, he says.
Another says that the hospital had to put corpses in the hospital corridors, as they had no other place to place them.
In the midst of this chaos, several families should have missed the opportunity to say goodbye to sick relatives.
Al Jazeera reported earlier this week that several journalists also lost their lives after contracting the virus in an attempt to cover the pandemic.
They also write about large dark figures in Ecuador, as many are buried untested.
