Coverage
According to the BBC:
Meanwhile the virus appears to be stabilising or slowing down in hard-hit countries Brazil and Mexico. The latest figures from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control show that of the three, Argentina is currently the worst-hit according to its population size. Its 14-day cumulative number of cases was 332 per 100,000 people on Thursday.
By contrast Brazil's was 199 cases per 100,000 people, down from a peak of 304 in early August. Mexico's number was 55.
More than 12,000 people have died in Argentina of Covid-19 since March.
——
It goes without saying that the testing rate in Argentina is also significantly lower than other countries and the above stats are based only on reported cases. The overall death toll in the same period has not seen a decline with 344 more reported yesterday.
Let’s see what the President’s next announcement will be regarding the latest and greatest quarantine measures ever... in the meantime let’s not get complacent about the risk circulating out there.
