Together to celebrate the eve holiday. And out in the sunshine celebrating the views you know the locked up pub or looters are enjoying their new freedoms. Welcome to the program im aaron hilton the World Health Organization is warning that latin america has become a new flashpoint of covert 19 infections are rising sharply chile has more than 60000 cases thats the 3rd highest number in the region after brazil in peru in chile the growing frustration over the lock down and job losses is rekindling anger behind recent antigovernment protests. Fernanda is shopping not for herself but for those who have stopped going to the supermarket because of the threat of the coronavirus fernanda is an actress but lost work because of the pandemic she took this new job to help make ends meet i used. To write i feel you. Know like most of the dying but now i dont have money to pay for. Fernandez and her partner ignazio have a son ignazio a musician now gives lessons online but their Household Income doesnt suffice to pay all the bills like many chileans theyre worried about the future. Last year thousands in chile took to the streets to protest against injustice and poverty. Their anger has returned now that the pandemic has made the crisis even worse. When you leave the fear of seeing ones family members die or loved ones die the fear of ones own death this has given way to the fear of hunger and insecurity. The government is searching for Solutions PresidentSebastian Pinera has announced a comprehensive aid program the poorest 2 and a half 1000000 families will soon receive food but members of chiles middle class like fernand and of our own feel left out and the corona virus has not stopped spreading in chile. Now for more im joined by John Bartlett a correspondent in santiago chile john its good to have you on the program now as we heard there are food aid is being prepared for the hardest hit families but is it enough to stave off the economic fallout from the pandemic. Yes thank you for having me on i think its very difficult question to answer i think the very early days the party going to go in terms of the actual you know that the handing out of the food. It went to 32 districts i think today in santiago its going to be going to go around over the weekend in the capital and then over the next week were going to be going to see food given to people across the country i think its very difficult to know what the economic consequence of all this is going to be obviously were on the back of it just by the 7 months of social process and the tensions that both groups are very much oversold so its been very difficult and i think we saw some footage there at the protests so im. In santiago and over this. Now lets stay with the protests there just for a minute it weve seen these violent protests returned to chile in recent days is that likely to continue given how quickly the virus is spreading there. Think its a very dangerous precedent when anything i think weve seen that despite circumstances people willing to go out still have cause to go. And they should never really been the case i dont think people felt the need to going to the coast that is a columns the streets and risks that are in their own safety without enough without sufficient aid from the. Relatively quickly the government really really steps up the the 8 the aid program and Financial Aid which is fairly modest at the moment. And the food aid as well but i think the protest movement is weve seen over the last week its very much there were people taken the. Protest indoors for now theres been a lot of online conversation going on a lot of these kind of online meetings with people being kind of discussing the problems and what they want to see from the chile the protest movement is being isolated little bit and now that weve got the constitutional referendum coming up in 25th of october this year which was delayed for from last month originally so i think everythings going to ramp up again. To start. With all this and. You know just briefly if you could is the countrys medical system prepared to deal with an outbreak of this size. In a word no i think its very difficult to see how the Health System is going to be going to deal with this weve already got i think the latest i saw was 93 percent of the intensive care beds ventilates is nationwide to reduce at the moment already so that some see quite a quite troubling statistic to. Have to see if you know it works but not when all the peak of the of the. By any stretch i think would be the disparities between the capacity in the regions outside of the company in the countryside and also with the indigenous population in chile as well were seeing that the pandemic if anything is exacerbating and failing again with the inequalities that brought millions of people into the streets so i think its difficult to see this its difficult to see this. Going well over d the next couple of weeks as we reach the peak but i think were already starting to see a situation where the government transposing patients out of santiago whether they be 80 percent of the cases being treated in other cities but this capacity at least for now so thats the thats the water all right some sobering information John Bartlett covering the story from us for us right now rather in chile thank you for that.
