Brother Jim K. gave me a shout about this via Matt Bracken’s Facebook account. Ecuador and specially the city of Guayaquil is basically coming apart at the seams. As of today they only reported officially 191 deaths for the whole country.
No fucking way is so few.
Warning: the flames ain’t BBQ.

Wuhan Virus collects another victim
Mall del Sur, #Guayaquil un hombre cae al suelo y con ayuda del vendedor se arrima a la pared. Vuelve a desplomarse y el único que ayuda es el informal, al que toletean los municipales y humillan los militares. Ese que no tiene que dar de comer a sus hijos en el aislamiento. Ese. pic.twitter.com/PddUbKMsWL

Good night, God Bless.
Wow, terrible. Are those fires amateur cremations?
At what point in the collapse of civilization is funeral pyres in the middle of a street?
Man, the gift that China has given the world is really something. Icing on the cake is the American mainstream media and the Democrats taking China’s side. What a time to be alive!
But it’s all just a conspiracy to tank the economy and keep Trump from being reelected! All the models are fake! Fauci and Birx are deep-state operatives trying to panic the country! We’re all under unConstitutional house arrest!
— Shit I’ve seen supposedly intelligent conservatives say
In a documentary about the London Plague outbreak of 1665, one of the experts pointed out that burial is one of the essential services. It’s not so much that it prevents the spread of disease as it’s a reassurance to everyone that civilization still exists, they won’t be forgotten, etc.
WTF happened that’s left Ecuador incapable of providing such a basic function? WTF is the Church doing?
[…] I hope you were able to stomach the posts I made last night (Guayaquil, Ecuador #1 and Guayaquil, Ecuador #2) and you can clearly see that 191 deaths are obvious;y an under-count by […]
I hope those people were dead before being burned
At least 2 days. They died at home and relatives could not get anybody to pick the bodies up
