Whether it’s reporting on conflicts abroad and political divisions at home, or covering the latest style trends and scientific developments, New York Times video journalists provide a revealing and unforgettable view of the world. It’s all the news that’s fit to watch.
Well..hold on. The Chinese government hid the problem for months…nobody knew what they had..other than bad flu.
If you want to protect yourself better. @
I know this maybe taken offensively to many people, so please accept my apologies. I don't understand why many cities, countries that are having the issue of storing or finding ground to bury lots of deceased people, don't just perform cremation. It's more sanitary and will prevent the spread of the virus. 💔
I can't even completely blame the people. They're scared and unsure of what to do. Similar incidents of attacks on health workers in India are also happening. Hope this all goes away soon
my mom works with people with covid she said that there are different strings of it and yeah and more Nurse stuff
Humanity's clay feet are showing
It is so hard to see .
I’m from peru .
And peru , the same way .
George bush did covid 19
I’m Ecuadorian and the majority of my family lives in Ecuador. They live in Guayaquil and Durán and other places. I hear about people dying almost everyday. It’s very upsetting and I’m very worried for my family bc they live where it all started and it’s spreading fast. Since I live in the US my family video calls and makes phone calls everyday. I recognize the streets and buildings that are show in the video 🙁
Anyone remember the song “I ain’t goin outside today”?
Ecuador was giving entrance to illegal immigrants from all over the world without any control, no visas were necessary to gain entrance to Ecuador which was the pathway through central America and Mexico to gain entry into the US, millions of people were allowed into Ecuador, Ecuador was charging them 200 DLS to get a permit to serve as a door and gateway to the US. Now they are suffering the consequences
I'm from Guayaquil, Ecuador. Sadly, everything mentioned here is true. However, I would like to point out that the video seems to blame this mostly on the goverment. It's obvious they deserve to be critized. But to this very day there are a lot of people who don't care a thing about the crisis and go outside as if it were a regular day. That cannot be stressed enough
And my state governor is over here opening up beaches and department stores again. We don’t have a handle on this thing but they want to pretend like we do. Smh.
after watching these i can just tell that the people didnt listen at first and that how it got worst, but thats normal looking at how ignorant people are in my case a im latin american and its normal , they are just ignorant about those things .
My parents are from Ecuador. COVID 19 is tearing the country apart. Que viva Ecuador!!,
