Latin America has seen an explosive spread of the coronavirus, with no end in sight.
According to CNN, roughly half of all new COVID-19 cases originate in Latin America as a whole.
However, individual Latin American countries are faring differently.
Uruguay has a strong public health system and coherent pandemic control policies.
But in Mexico, Colombia and Peru, workers' income has probably declined by 80% during the pandemic.
That's put even basic health care out of reach.
