The government had boasted that chile was doing better than its neighbors ignoring earlier pleas from doctors and mayors like rudolph or carter to declare a total lockdown before infections got out of control. We have to say it very clearly without panicking that these next 2 weeks are going to be the hardest speaks in the history of chile since the 1973 cool were going to have dead people youre going to have hurt families. Police will be on the lookout not just for those who violate the quarantine but for traffickers who are using Delivery Services which are allowed to circulate as the perfect cover for distributing Illegal Drugs chilies antinarcotic squads have already made more than 200 arrests month. They misuse well known brands of Delivery Services to deliver drugs instead of food or medicine why because a policeman probably wont suspect a delivery man on a bicycle thats why were cyber patrolling the social networks to try and identify the traffickers on.

Castro aljazeera Silver Spring maryland. Professor of epidemiology and medicine at Columbia University and she has criticized the president s plan to fast track of axing this timeline is quite ambitious its quite a stretch actually i think even the the other. Estimations of a year or 18 months to the development of the vaccine were already quite ambitious so the great fear is that we dont want to cut any corners in the development of a vaccine its absolutely critical that a vaccine the xan to be safe and also be demonstrated to be effective there is no point in having a vaccine that is not safe and that does not work so i think most importantly is to stick to the science and do the studies that need to be done to get us to a safe and effective vaccine whats critical is 1st identify the candidate vaccines that meaning the molecules that look promising as a vaccine either in the laboratory or an Animal Studies then the next step is to take this product this candid vaccine and test it 1st in a limited number of people to demonstrate that at least is safe in humans if its proven to be safe in humans in a small number of individuals then we move to the 2nd reason the development of the vaccine and that is when its tested in a larger group of individuals and hopefully then to see again and see if and then to begin to see if there is any evidence that it actually works and this process takes several months.
