“I’m mad, I wanted so badly to eat a plastic bag,” read the caption of a meme I once saw, overlaid with a sea turtle cartoon that reminded me a little of the one from the “Finding Nemo” cartoon. Another symptom that online life has a frightening power to dehumanize us is that someone is willing to make fun of the internet when they know sea turtles are choking on the plastic floating in the oceans. Most importantly, the meme shows a downright pathological inability to understand the extent of the problem.

On eve of crisis election, Peru more than doubles its COVID-19 death count
Just days before a sharply polarized second-round presidential election, the Peruvian government acknowledged that the country’s death toll from the COVID-19 pandemic is at least 2.5 times higher than previously acknowledged.
Based on the advice of Peruvian and international health experts, the number of deaths was revised from nearly 70,000 to 180,000. This makes Peru, with a population of 33 million, the country with the highest fatality rate in the world and the fifth highest in terms of absolute numbers of deaths.
The change in the fatality count was based upon including not just those who died after having tested positive for the virus, but also those who died with symptoms corresponding to COVID-19 or who had “an epidemiological link to a confirmed case.”
