80% of the community has Covid-19, a nurse in charge

 



The report by journalist Guillermo Galdos is in the middle of the Peruvian Amazon. The inhabitants of Shipibo have lived on the land for thousands of years, growing as healers, and have defended the land against their owner and threatened other foreign invaders. But they have a powerful new compassion that shows little compassion: Covid-19. In the remote town of Caibo Shipibo, 80% of the community has reported symptoms of coronavirus, according to local nurse Elias Magin. It is an eight-hour boat ride from the nearest hospital. When we arrived in late May, many people slept around a simple building, the Puesto de Salud, or health clinic, with a simple building indicating that it was Caimito. It was 10 in the morning and those who were walking had to wait patiently for medical attention. “We have been left without the medicine that the government has given us for the last three days,” Magin told us. “The only other medicine is for other conditions. I don’t even have paracetamol.” #Covid #GuillermoGaldos #CNN.
