Hospitals are overwhelmed and fatalities are soaring. The island is suffering from combined viruses that include dengue, chikungunya, Oropouche and other respiratory diseases
Healthcare is the only thing Cuba used to do well. How did they fuck it up so much?
Edit: Read the article. It’s an epidemic of a new disease (for Cuba). Any healthcare system would be overwhelmed. And the article is seriously overdramatic. I’m not making light of real people who are actually dying, but the article tone is jarringly melodramatic.
Was there two months ago, got chikungunya. I still have surges of it, after about 40 days. Many friends there reported they and their families contracted it as well. The main treatment is paracetamol, but apparently even that is hard to get by.
