The View from Guatemala - Addressing Human Needs During a Pandemic - Nicolle Sanchez
While Guatemala has not seen a major outbreak of coronavirus, the country is still on edge. They know their healthcare system is not equipped to handle a widespread COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, Guatemala's long standing issues with poverty and inequity make many citizens particularly vulnerable to both the health and economic effects of the pandemic.
In this episode Brian Lucas interviews Nicolle Sanchez, a college student in Guatemala, about the privilege of social distancing, the fear of spreading the virus, and how the most vulnerable segments of the population are once again being hit the hardest as the country tries to stem the tide of the pandemic.
