THREAD: Coronavirus and Uruguay. A country teeters on the edge.
Until yesterday, what was the only country in the world with over 1000 daily cases per million of population? The one I live in.
A country which, last year, was being hailed for its record. Since when... 😐😟😡😩

It's early October 2020. Everyone had stopped talking about Covid; Uruguay had virtually no cases at all. The naivete was extraordinary.
I wandered outside and noticed that unlike me, no-one else was wearing a mask. Nor was there any social distancing in cafes, restaurants, bars

Instantly, I thought "uh oh". I'm preternaturally cautious by nature. If only everyone else had been.
Not at all to my surprise, cases began to rise. So later that month, up popped the President for a press conference: his first in ages.
There, the seeds of disaster were sown
