Diario de una pandemia, por Andrés Edery
More political cartoons in the familiar series, "Diary of a pandemic," by artist Andrés Edery. These are some of the most recent images drawn and added. I think my favorite is the image of the father trying to recreate the feeling of going to a stadium to watch a soccer match, there's definitely a theme of parenthood in several of the cartoons that are endearing and relatable. -

Quarentena sedentaria
Meme from Being Peruvian Instagram. It makes light of how inactivity leads to weight gain during the pandemic. Peru has some of the strictest lockdown orders, and it's a society that is accostomed to walking and traveling across the city daily. Loosing daily activity has slowly, but surely affected everyone's health. -

The Peruvian Experience
So I am down in Peru with three fellow students from Wesleyan University. We are just beginning our spring break, and had recently united in Lima before flying together to Cusco the next morning. Our plan was ambitious, chaotic, and irresponsible in hindsight; we had decided to hike the Salkantay Trek from Soraypampa to Aguas Calientes. The evening of our arrival, we were out to dinner when at 9 pm, my friend receives an alarming text from his mother stating that the Salkantay Trek was closed because of a historic mudslide that had decimated the entire trail below the highest pass. This slide sent at least 12 to their death (many remain missing today) while simultaneously displacing 430 families living in the valley. At the time, we were unaware of these disturbing statistics and decided to find a tourist agency that would perhaps guide us part of the way. At 10 pm that evening, we located a random tourist shop that was lightly populated by two employees in the backroom of a jumbled building of interior storefronts. They assured us that not only is the trek impassible at multiple points, but that the Peruvian government was preventing travelers from setting out on the trail. We offered to pay a guide to take us even part of the way, but they turned our proposal down. They did, however, secure us seats on a bus leaving at 5 am the next morning to Soraypampa where tourists engrossed themselves in a heavily assisted day-hike to Lake Humantay. We waiting in the darkness of the Plaza de Armas while bus after bus went to various other locations around Cusco. We dizzily wavered around due to the 11,000 feet of altitude gain that we had assumed less than 24 hours ago until a bus finally came to pick us up. From there, we dangerously (or so we thought at the time) drove through one-lane mountain roads in a loaded bus for nearly five hours. At last, we unloaded and grabbed our packs. We were the only backpackers in sight, and we planned on doing this trek without guidance both geographically and physically. As the rest of the hikers walked packless with sticks to the lake, we lagged behind, destroyed by the sudden difficulty of what was supposed to be an easy first day of trekking. Even with mouths full of coca leaves, two of us required sips of the small oxygen canister we picked up the day before. Our bodies pulsed with symptoms of altitude sickness, but we pressed on. No other view could have made me smile as widely as that of glacial Lake Humantay as we crested the final ascent. At 14,500 feet of altitude, we laughed at the fantastic beauty before us. We had arrived in the early afternoon, and found ourselves almost totally alone beside this pool in the Andes Mountains. Our descent was horrible. Pulsing again were headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelled joints. In our divergence from the path most traveled, we entered a trail of horse, cow, and llama (domesticated guanaco as we kept on) crap; an uncomfortable rain began to fall, and we found ourselves walking through a mountain feed mist. Within all of our heads was the terrible thought of setting up camp in the rain. Our level of exhaustion was overly evident to any onlooker (there was no one), but as the rain let up and our camp became established, moods lifted and excitement spiked. We were observing the most beautiful sunset display any of us had ever seen. The sun, setting at around 4:00 pm because of the extreme prominence of the surrounding mountains, swirled its orange and pink on the snow-covered top of Mount Salkantay almost as a kind of sorbet is presented at an ice-cream shop. Our wide smiles disappeared as a frigid wind whipped through the valley that we were so exposedly staying in. Dinner in the dark was followed by an unmatched view of eye-contracting stars as we retreated to the chilled interior of our tents. Altitude sickness plagued any chance of a good night's sleep, and we awoke frozen and in a misty cloud. It was this day that we would trek through the Salkantay Pass at 15,220 feet of altitude. Endless switchbacks defined the first half of the day. We toiled over each step, our packs dragging each attempt to press on. After a few hours of extreme exertion and chill, we passed through the highest point of the trek. Once the clouds parted, an incredible view of the mudslide's decimation shocked us into the reality of our unguided trek. The slide refigured the landscape with a melting expanse of boulders climbing both sides of the valley and completely filling in the previous location of the Salkantay Lake. Armed with a compass and an enthusiastic "we can't turn back now" mindset, our trek took us through a few miles of trailless movement into the valley ahead. The rest of this day wasn't by any means forgiving. Passing through a newly abandoned town, over a sea of boudlers and deep, wet sand, and into the jungle valley brought set after set of challenges. Towards hour 11 of the day's hiking, a thunderstorm burdened the final steps we had to take. The valley was steep, and beneath us crept a barren section of forest where the river washed away all vegetation in existence (it rose over 130 feet in some sections). Once we had almost made it to the supposed location of the next town, we hopped another small waterfall and rounded another unpromising corner to see only a gap. For about the length of a track, a secondary mudslide caused by the huge forest laceration made by the river's rise opened up to an impassible section of an unstable dirt cliff-face. We spent the next hour cautiously pressing up and around the empty gap in the forest in the ongoing rain. From there, we very quickly arrived in the next town, populated but in a state of emergency. Their supply of food had been entirely cut off, and reserves were running dangerously low. The following day, we were shown to a couple of provisional bridges that the locals had erected just two days before with some fallen logs and sticks. More treacherous than anything any of us had done, we inched along the sloped, wet logs that stretched over the intersection of two overflowing rivers. Later that day, a mile long mudslide had taken out another part of the trail, but this one was dry and had experienced some local foot traffic (there were no roads for the first four days of trekking). We got ahead that evening, and camped on a man's land high in the valley steeps who informed us that we had been the only group to travel the Salkantay Trek route for the entirety of the year 2020 (this was in March mind you). The next day of trekking was far longer than we had expected, but traveling alone through an ancient village to a phenomenal viewpoint of Machu Picchu made it worth it. We ended in with a beat arrival in Aguas Calientes, but that evening was full of celebration and restaurant food. Two of us woke up with food poisoning, and we decided to travel back to Cusco midday rather than in the evening. Upon arriving at our hostel, President Vizcarra came on the television to announce that Peru would close its airports in 24 hours. At the time of our departure in Soraypampa, the coronavirus had only spread widely in China and Italy, but when we got out, the internet flooded our phones with the reality of online classes, the spread of the virus into a pandemic, and the global closing of boarders. Panic-ridden, we awoke at 5 am to escape the claim that hostels and hotels would be locked from the outside by the police to force a 15-day quarantine period set by the Peruvian Government. We waited outside in the rain until the last flight to Lima departed with us onboard (our ticket had coincided with the last day of open airports by sheer luck). In Lima, we were locked in our friend's house, prevented from going outside by the fear of getting arrested by the endless number of police and military stationed on the streets of the city. Day after day passed, we played chess, meditated, and hoped for an email from the U.S. Embassy of Peru. Weeks passed, and the panic of my family was calmed by my less-bothered conscience. After daily reminders pointing towards the extension of our visit to Peru to months, the housing situation ended for two of us, and we ventured to a nearby hotel to wait out the rest of our stay in Lima. By some miracle, we were then put in touch with a DEA agent helping at the embassy (the DEA helped out because the chair of the embassy and many of his employees all fled back to the U.S. leaving thousands of citizens stranded for much longer). The person who aided us brought us to the embassy to get on a departing repatriation flight as standby passengers. In a rare moment of animation, my friend and I flew on an unfilled flight directly to Washington, D.C. Our trip had ended, but our quarantine in a very strange new world had just begun. I want to note that I skipped large swaths of experience to fit this shortened story into a mildly digestable piece. I also did not read through it yet so forgive any mistakes or sections lacking flow. -

Gobernador peruano dice que comer carne de llama cura el COVID-19

Carne de llama no se protege
El gobernador regional de Arequipa, Elmer Cáceres, volvió a hacer de las suyas. Cuando días atrás se mostraba favorable al uso del hidróxico de cloro para combatir al Covid-19, ahora afirma que el consumo de carne de alpaca y llama es efectivo para hacerle la contra a la enfermedad. «El consumo de alpaca y llama combate el coronavirus. Ojo. La llama, ¡hay que consumir carne de llama!, está comprobado científicamente que combate al Covid-19 que está matando a nuestra gente. Yo invito al pueblo de Arequipa y del Perú a consumir carne de llama, que es brillisimo», manifestó en una actividad pública. Cáceres Llica dictó esta exhortación a diversos ciudadanos de su región. Por otro lado, también dijo sostener comunicación directa con Rusia para importar, lo más pronto posible, la vacuna en este país desarrollada, a la región Arequipa. Todo lo que indica el gobernador es de su propio criterio si bases científicas luego dijieron que lo que dice de la carne es completamente falso. Fuerte : Orcopampa al día -

COVID forces 100,000 Venezuelans back home
Over the past five years, Venezuelan migration to Peru has really picked up. With an impoverished country, political corruption, and sometimes no food, Venezuelans have exited in mass. Now with COVID-19, people have found themselves in dire straits and wishing to reverse migrate. This tweet of a WSJ article captures the story of a father and mother who trekked for over 3 months from Peru to Venezuela with their infant son. -

Face shields on public transportation
There's so much that Peru is doing right in terms of public health measures. This campaign is one more example, "Primero mi salud," (First my health), which is encouraging people to wear a mask and face shield on public transportation. The Ministry of Health has done a great job of creating campaigns and promoting sound public health measures. A commentator says...and people should wear them in markets, and everywhere, which is true. Infection rates will go down if more people follow these protocols. -

Canvas from creative places
Here's an artist who got stuck in Peru due to COVID. He couldn't go out to buy paper or canvas, so he used the cardboard from toilet paper rolls. I'm even slightly surprised his toilet paper had cardboard rolls, because a lot of times that part is left out to save costs. Anyway, the digital art he created is pretty interesting, but it's hard to find out more about the artist because he's a self-described as: "@burst_ is an anonymous cryptoartist with an emphasis on post-neoexpressionism and digital art 🖼👾 he creates dystopian-hybrid-organic abstract artworks as well in a digital as physical form..." -

AZ governor's office assures residents its COVID infection rate lower than Brazil or Peru
It's odd that the U.S. response to COVID has been disjointed among national, state, and municipal efforts. Peru had a strong, concerted national effort, but there are so many factors that are contributing to the spiraling infection rate including a day-to-day economy, and the lack of economic support for families. But for officials in Arizona to point the finger and say- hey we're doing better than...seems shameful. Our infection rates could be under control if we followed a systematic public health program. Instead, most businesses are so desperate to reopen like bars and restaurants that they don't really protect customers or staff. The rate of infection among young people started to creep up after Arizona reopened in May, and last week Tempe had to close its bars again to get the situation under control. -

Lock down libraries in remote Peru
I saw this tweet about a rural library fund, and thought it was really interesting that there is a charity providing access to books for people in remote Andean communities in Peru. I watched some of the Zoom recording to learn about it, and it seems really encouraging that this type of charity work is continuing despite COVID-19. Providing physical books to students in remote areas is such a worthy cause, and one that can really fracture along class lines due to cost and accessibility. -

DOS REALIDADES DIFERENTES CON EL COVID-19
En el Perú las realidades sin diferentes, las cuales han vivido de manera diferente la cuarentena en este reportaje se muestra las dos caras de La moneda. Se muestra que las personas de recursos bajos no comen lo mismo que personas que probablemente tienen mayores recursos en este caso se ve que una mujer come arroz con huevo o ollas comunes mientras alguien pudiente como tallarines con salsa y pollo además que no lo preparan ellos sino lo hace otra persona que ellos pueden pagar incluso aún en estos tiempos. Se muestra también que en la actualidad las ollas comunes se han multiplicado a niveles no vistos desde la década de los 80's y 90's. De igual manera se puede observar también como las personas de bajos recursos no cuentan con trabajo, nadie los quiere contratar en sus empresas además había gente que incluso solo vendía papa con huevo en las calles y actualmente no lo pueden hacer por que aún no lo tienen permitido. En cambio las personas con recursos mayores trabajan desde casa (teletrabajo) , se muestra también que incluso no cuentan con agua ni alcohol para lavarse las manos a lo que la otra cara de la moneda siempre tuvo agua en sus casas y incluso llevan botellas de alcohol en gel para desinfectar sus manos en cualquier momento. En Perú y en este caso en Lima se muestra una población muy desigual que en estos tiempos indican ellos mismo "no podemos quedarnos en casa por que si lo hacemos nuestros hijos no comen". -

LA LUCHA CONTRA EL HAMBRE DE LOS VENDEDORES AMBULANTES FRENTE AL COVID-19
Muchos ambulantes estan sufriendo debido a la actual crisis sanitaria, ya que según el video varios tenían trabajos estables ya sea un negocio propio o trabajaban de meseros entre otros oficios, mencionan también que el virus ha cambiado su vida ya que muchos no comen en la calle por miedo a contagiarse por lo que están de 8a.m. a 6p.m. en la calle, para luego volver a casa con sus hijos, otro problema que los aqueja es que la municipalidad les quita mercadería por que algunas veces no respetan la distancia o se agrupan, lo que genera perdidas que en la actualidad para ellos es muy grave. Para finalizar estas personas reclaman que no accedieron a ninguna ayuda del estado en relación a sus negocios ya que el 71% de el plan para empresas del estado peruano "reactiva Perú " fue dado solo para grandes empresas. -

Ahora estas familias luchadoras piden el apoyo de las autoridades y población para continuar con esta práctica solidaria. Fuente / Frase Corta Fecha 6/26/20 -

DESFILE DE MODAS EN TIEMPOS DE COVID-19
En la ciudad de Trujillo se realizó un desfile de modas en plena crisis del Corona virus. El cual fue criticado por todo el pueblo peruano indicando que este acto era algo insensible y peligroso. El gerente regional de la Producción del Gobierno Regional de La Libertad, Roger Ruiz, aseguró que nunca se tuvo la intención de herir susceptibilidades de las personas, en estos momentos de emergencia sanitaria nacional, con un desfile de prendas de protección para el sector Salud e Industrial. En diálogo con RPP Noticias, el funcionario respondió tras la serie de críticas que originó un desfile de modas realizado en el patio de la Casa de la Identidad Regional en la que estuvo presente el gobernador regional de La Libertad, Manuel Llempén Coronel. Roger Ruiz dijo que el único objetivo de la presentación fue mostrar las indumentarias confeccionadas por los pequeños empresarios del calzado e industrial que están pasando una grave crisis económica por el cierre de sus negocios.

Fierce competition in the marketplace
A meme posted about the cutthroat labor system in Peru, it's true that there's a lot of competition in certain sectors. In some cases, vendors barely make a profit because everyone is trying to offer the lowest price just to make the sale. I often had this conversation with my mother in law who sold clothing on consignment, I understand that consignment is a normal practice, but if you have to take a bus/taxi to someone's house 3 or 4 times to collect installments, the minimal profits you were making are essentially erased. Now that Peru is allowing some vendors to start selling again, it's once again a volatile and competitive environment because so many people have been without work and the basic necessities. -

Medical supplies and social class
The image title reads, "Oxígeno para loncheras/oxygen for lunchboxes," and states "solo si tienes un montón de plata/only if you have a ton of money."

ambulantes
A political cartoon about new restrictions on ambulatory sales. Prior to the pandemic, Peru had an economy where lots of people could purchase and sell products like ambulatory salespeople, moving around buses and neighborhoods freely carrying their products. Now however, salespeople aren't allowed to walk around or sell on foot, they have to sell out of their car. It offers some relief to those who actually have access to a car, but for those who don't and aren't earning money, the economic challenge of survival is a greater threat than the virus. -

The self-medication approaches range from strange to devastating, as some have tried to create home spas or special chemical baths that proved fatal to users. -

I really love reading Somos, and I love this short historias piece reflecting on the best and worst of coronavirus from 100 Peruvians. It's reassuring to read what is helping people stay positive, and at the same time recognize that we're all struggling with a really difficult moment. There's a parent who laments she can't visit her daughter when she got into Stanford, another parent willing to watch the Wizard of Oz as many times as his daughter asks, and others who took the extra time at home to learn new skills like baking a carrot cake or reflecting on their lives and relationships. -

I'm wondering where these ventilators will go, or if they won't even make it out of Lima. The comments and replies seemed laudatory for the president, but nothing too significant, so I didn't screenshot them.

Virus Exposes Weak Links in Peru’s Success Story
Peru has become a hotspot for coronavirus, despite an intense lockdown and track & trace technology. The article highlights that COVID-19 cases have overwhelmed Peru's hospitals and healthcare capacity, what's understated is that Peru did take the right measures, they did react correctly and with national leadership. The problem is that they could not sustain an extended quarantine period. If it had been a true quarantine and the borders were closed, things might look differently, but the U.S. and Peru took weeks to negotiate repatriation of citizens, and groups of migrants began returning to the countryside or leaving Peru for their homeland, such as in the case of Venezuelans. With all of that movement, it is impossible to control the spread of an infectious disease. -

En 12 tiendas se decomisó más de 100 botellas de alcohol. Los químicos farmacéuticos del DIREMID hicieron uso del alcoholímetro para comprobar que el alcohol ofrecido a la población tenía el mismo grado que presentaba en la etiqueta. “La Policía inició una investigación por estafa por vender el alcohol con etiqueta de 96 grados cuando en realidad es de 60, los comerciantes están engañando. El de 60 es muy bajo, no sirve para la desinfección”, señaló el químico farmacéutico del área de Fiscalización del DIREMID, Anibal Díaz Robles. Estos productos ilegales llevan las marcas como: Alcohol Puro 96%, A & D – Aroma y color, entre otros. En tanto, el alcohol usado para la medicina y recomendado para el uso de la población en la desinfección de sus manos y superficies es de 70 grados ideal para matar bacterias, mientras que el alcohol comercial de venta por mayor es de 96 grados. -

I was working as a dancer on the Cruise Ship MS Zaandam when the Covid-19 Pandemic hit. Countries began to close their borders and passengers and crew began presenting with flu-like symptoms. The entire ship went into lockdown to prevent the spread of this illness which was later confirmed to be Covid-19. We were denied entry to Chile, Peru and the Panama Canal. At this time we had 4 deaths onboard. The MS Rotterdam came to our aid with medical staff, test kits and supplies. Eventually we were granted entry through the Panama Canal to disembark passengers and sick crew in Florida. The ship then left port and sailed to the Bahamas were all crew had to undergo a 14 day CDC ordered quarantine. Repatriation plans were made and I was transferred to the Nieuw Statendam and sailed across the Atlantic to disembark in Rotterdam on May 13th. This ended up being a total of 60 days stranded at sea. After flying home to Perth I faced another 14 days away from family in mandatory Hotel Isolation . We were delivered meals 3 times a day that came in paper bags and other biodegradable containers. I wanted to do something creative and a little bit quirky to pass the time. This packaging became my inspiration to create a range of outfits constructed from these recycled materials. I posted a video of these creations and it went viral on Facebook. I have kept these costumes as memorabilia.
