The voice of a nation, Toto La Momposina, the iconic Afro-Colombian singer and child of political prisoners who was black listed by Colombiaโs fascist government for the pride of Black resistance in her music, has passed. She was the soundtrack to my childhood, sheโs who I put on and dance for hours to when Iโve had a bad day, she is all of Latin America to me, her Bullerengues are a spiritual realm, and she herself is eternal. Rest in power, Reina de la Cumbia ๐๏ธ

Easily one of the best we'll see.
Cape Verde rejected them not out of fear, but because their hospitals, being a developing country, are not equipped for this, the woman wasnโt allowed to board KLM because not fit to fly. Get your facts straight, you fear mongerer
do you understand what "briefly" means here..
a woman dying of hantavirus boarded a commercial KLM flight in Johannesburg on April 25th.. the Andes strain.. the only hantavirus on earth that spreads person to person..
she died the next day..
her husband died on the cruise ship two weeks earlier.. the ship tried to dock in the Canary Islands.. rejected.. tried Cape Verde.. they can't handle it.. 147 passengers from 23 countries are still floating in the Atlantic right now because no country wants them on their soil..
three dead.. WHO tracing every passenger on that flight.. and the airline's official statement is she was on board "briefly"
the ocean isn't a quarantine ward.. and "briefly" isn't a health policy..
shit
