Chile and Uruguay are experiencing their worst moment of COVID-19 pandemic
Chile and Uruguay emerged as model cases last year for their handling of the COVID-19 crisis and are among the top five countries in the world with the most vaccine doses administered per 100 people daily. But both countries are now experiencing their worst moment of the pandemic with sustained peaks of daily COVID-19 infections.
The relaxation of self-care measures hand hygiene, masks and social distancing along with the political handling of the crisis, and the appearance of more infectious variants, may be some of the factors behind this situation, say experts.

Boogie Each generation has a defining high school basketball picture to call its own (
One on One, Love and Basketball, Above the Rim, etc.). The dialogue may coarsen, the off-court violence intensify, and the ethnicity of its lead may fluctuate over time, but the events outlined in the narrative basically remain the same, right down to the differing parents, compulsory teen love angle, and/or championship games that closes each picture. Not having seen the poster, at what point do we know this is a coming of age story? Just before Boogie’s (Taylor Takahashi) English teacher assigns
Catcher in the Rye, he informs his class that each student is currently inhabiting their own coming-of-age story. But as far as temperamental Boogie and his contemporaries can tell, Asians are second-class citizens living in a country steeped in resentment. He seconds the rancor of his parent’s generation: his people have earned their place in the kitchen or behind an accountant’s desk, but whe
