@BasuAshis @bbcworldservice I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your comment. Yes Chilean Spanish is very different, much faster with a lot of slang!

An excellent article in @TheEconomist about the state of Chile

[Paz Zárate @Paz_ZarateB]

.@TheEconomist
"La pandemia puede impulsar a Chile a volverse más socialdemócrata".
"El clamor de la izquierda por un estado más activo ahora encuentra eco en políticos de derecha... que apoyan ayudas sociales".

April 26. Chileans would have been voting in a plebiscite today on whether to draft a new constitution. Postponed until 25 October due to #covid. What a different kind of day it would have been.

A very interesting article

‘Fear of contagion — of infection- is one of our most atavistic fears’, interview on my evolutionary/complexity/ecological perspectives on the pandemic, done by Daniel Hopenhayn for La Tercera, and translated by Claudia Hopenhayn was just published here https://t.co/9jNBmcZ929

@Simmoa Thanks for the support

https://t.co/zmAGVwy71r thanks to @LPressly for all her help with this. An unfair education system in Chile is a huge part of the protests.

[Boris van der Spek @BorisvanderSpek]

Clear interview by Health Subsecretary @pdazan. The explanation on “dynamic” quarantines makes sense (the Chilean numbers don’t call for nationwide lockdown) as well as her reasoning that this virus will remain in our society for now.

#Chile reports 392 new #covid cases in 24 hours bringing total to 7,917. Deaths rise by 10 to 92.
