https://www.spiked-online.com/2021/07/23/the-coming-collapse-of-the-developing-world/ Moreover, since the pandemic started, the income of developing countries has fallen for the first time in 60 years. The United Nations predicts that the pandemic recession could plunge as many as 420million people into extreme poverty (which is defined as earning less than $2 a day). In Latin America, Covid fatality rates are now eight times the global average. The poverty rate had fallen by 45 to 30 per cent over the past two decades, but now the ranks of the impoverished have swelled by nearly 45million, according to the UN. In Mexico alone, Covid has caused at least 16million more people to fall into extreme poverty, according to a study by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In many countries, such as Colombia, the pandemic has also led to a rapid rise in murder rates, and an increase in general disorder. In the West, meanwhile, businesses tied to professional, financial and technical industries survived the pandemic, with many white-collar professionals keeping and even growing their incomes. The number of billionaires actually surged in the rich countries. Things are different in the developing world. Whereas upwards of 40 per cent of all work in high-income countries can be done remotely, in developing countries most work takes place in the informal economy, where ‘face to face’ contact is necessary. Indeed, only 10 per cent of jobs can be done remotely. In India, informal workers represent over 80 per cent of the working population; in Africa, they represent 66 per cent; and in Egypt, the most populous country in the Arab world, they represent over 60 per cent. So, as Westerners closeted themselves in their dwellings, many urban residents of the developing countries rode out the pandemic in the most crowded places on Earth – Manila, Baghdad, Mumbai, Dhaka, Port au Prince – with little in the way of sanitation or adequate healthcare. These cities, noted Laurie Garrett three decades ago in The Coming Plague, are ideal breeding grounds for infectious diseases. In the past few decades, the rise of ‘urban thirdworldisation’, including in China, has helped generate SARS, MERS, swine flu and now Covid-19. Anthony Fauci, a widely quoted medical adviser to the US president, has already identified potential new viruses incubating in China, and warns that more pandemics may arise in the near future. The ability of developing countries to respond to such assaults remains tragically limited. Covid and its variants can be contained with vaccinations, but most developing countries suffer from pathetically low vaccination rates. Despite the West’s global vaccination pledges, nine out of 10 African countries, according to the UN, are set to fall short of their vaccination targets. In South Africa, as of 2 June, only two people in every thousand had been fully vaccinated. Perhaps the most heart-breaking statistic is that 228,000 children were killed in South-East Asia – not because of the disease, but because of the effects of lockdowns, from unemployment to rising malnutrition. The longer the pandemic persists, the greater the separation will become between high-income and poor countries. Fear of infection has a chilling effect on investors, who fear visiting impacted countries. In some countries, the massive decline in tourism, as well as the impact of lockdowns, has proven catastrophic. The International Monetary Fund has predicted that in the Caribbean, where tourism accounts for between 50 and 90 per cent of income and employment, revenues will ‘return to pre-crisis levels only gradually over the next three years’. This decline will also be felt in larger developing countries, such as Mexico, Turkey, Thailand and the Philippines – as well as more traditional travel hubs, such as Spain and Italy. Then there is the impact of the loss of remittances – the money that migrant workers in the West send home to their families. With many migrant workers out of work, cut off from their jobs or unable to move to wealthier countries in search of work, developing nations’ economies have lost billions in income. Remittances sent home account for 10 per cent or more of the GDP of countries like Bermuda, Nepal, Somalia, the Philippines, Lesotho, El Salvador, Guatemala and the Palestinian West Bank. Most of these places have suffered significant levels of infection and had only limited success in curbing it. Western countries, and China, will continue to covet the raw materials of the developing world, but they remain indifferent to its people.
what are peoples thoughts on Colombian artists ignoring their own countries ddhh violations and supporting cuban protests
Hypocrites. But that's how a ton of famous people roll. I really don't have high expectations on any of them, so if some of them actually support the just causes, that's a benefit. On a related note, I just heard on the news today that there is a Colombian variant of the virus and that it is taking hold in Florida. That's catastrophic for both the Country and the state. https://www.local10.com/espanol/202...ios-combaten-la-pandemia-de-los-no-vacunados/ Durante la semana pasada en Florida, las hospitalizaciones por COVID-19 aumentaron un asombroso 65 por ciento. La mayoría de ellos son personas que no han sido vacunadas. Los expertos en salud denominan a este aumento como la “pandemia de los no vacunados”, ya que la duda sobre las vacunas sigue siendo fuerte en algunas poblaciones. “El cuarenta y nueve por ciento de nuestras variantes son variantes de Delta en el condado de Miami-Dade, hace solo dos meses era el dos por ciento”, dijo Migoya, y agregó que la variante colombiana ahora representa el 10 por ciento de los pacientes de Jackson Memorial Covid. Según el Departamento de Salud de Florida, la semana pasada se informaron 73 mil casos nuevos, siete veces más que hace un mes. El aumento está provocando conversaciones dentro de la Casa Blanca y los CDC sobre otra guía para el uso de cubrebocas, incluso para los vacunados.
