Coronavirus: Chile protesters clash with police over lockdown

Protesters and police have clashed on the outskirts of the Chilean capital Santiago amid tension over food shortages during lockdown.

Local television showed police using tear gas and water cannon to quell unrest on the streets of El Bosque, where poverty is high.

President Sebastián Piñera, in a televised address after the protests, pledged to get food to those in need.

Chile has more than 46,000 cases of Covid-19 so far, with 478 deaths.

A recent surge in cases prompted the national capital to go under a strict and total lockdown this weekend.

In a separate development on Monday, dozens of members of Chile's senate and two government ministers went into preventative isolation following recent contact with infected colleagues.

Why were there protests?

Groups of protesters were seen throwing stones and setting fires in parts of the El Bosque neighbourhood.

District mayor Sadi Melo told local radio it was facing a "very complex situation" because of "hunger and lack of work".

In a statement, local officials said they had distributed about 2,000 aid packages but warned the government they could not meet demand.

President Piñera later pledged his government would provide 2.5 million baskets of food and other essentials over the next week or so.

"We will prioritise the most vulnerable families," he said, describing the plan as "historic".

Following the announcement, the governor of the Santiago Metropolitan Region, Felipe Guevara, tweeted (in Spanish) to encourage residents to follow the rules and stay at home for their own safety.

"I understand the deep anguish of millions of Chileans, thousands are starving," he wrote, whilst also dismissing controversy over comments he made about the protests on television.

Unrest across Latin America

By Candace Piette, BBC World Service Latin America editor

The Santiago protest is part of a growing pattern of resistance to the lockdowns all over Latin America.

In Brazil, hundreds of people from Sao Paulo's largest favela marched to the state governor's palace demanding more support.

In Colombia people have been hanging red cloths outside their homes when they are hungry.

And in El Salvador, people have been banging pots to protest against the lockdown.

Latin American governments are struggling with how to keep their large poor populations in lockdown with few financial resources and weak social systems.

I think in all these arguments people forget the exponential nature of infection and death when this virus is not slowed down by distancing and all those other things every country has done when the virus started to get going. And that math was obvious and undeniable when the infections got going before any significant measures were being taken...or before they started to have an impact.

Infections, deaths...all those things were doubling every few days...anywhere from 4 to 10 or 12 days... and at that rate we would have had millions of deaths by now if nothing had been done. That was the curve that the whole world was looking at...and acted on.

So, yes, to one degree or another we flattened that curve. But nothing to stop us from going back there if we let it totally go again. We're not doing that...and the US is not doing that either, although parts might be closer to it, time will tell.

So if you want to compare it to a flu, compare it to the Kansas flu (also known as the Spanish flu) that killed around 50 million out of a world population of around 1.8 billion. This one might not be that bad if left totally unchecked (2.7% of world population), but it's hard to find credible numbers that translate to less than .8% on this one.

Anyway...what is it worth to save a few million lives in terms of economic pain? Every country in the world virtually has come to the same conclusion on that question. It's worth doing what we are trying to do.

Politics of snitching: Dems more likely than Republicans to report neighbors during pandemic

Democrats are far more likely than Republicans to say they'd report neighbors for holding a social gathering in violation of coronavirus stay-at-home orders, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.

"There is a huge partisan difference," Rasmussen said. "By a 44% to 31% margin, a plurality of Democrats would turn in their neighbors. By a 60% to 25% margin, Republicans would not. Independents are evenly divided. Other data I’ve released shows that a plurality of Republicans now believe the worst of the pandemic is behind us. Democrats strongly disagree."

Once again, the left-leaners display more common sense in taking the threat of non-compliance seriously.

shutting down the economy based on flawed data from imperial economy which is leading to rising suicides, drug use, domestic and child abuse, destroyed businesses is not commen sense. leftists support the lock downs because they need big govt to live on and survive on.

Keep cherry-picking , keep grasping at straws instead of being a man and proving us all wrong by licking a handrail at a Covid clinic. You're like that person at a restaurant looking at the food and not wanting to try it because in your mind it will taste horrible. Taste it then all can say, at least he tasted it and can speak from experience. The same goes with the virus, if you actually beat it, you can make the claims and some of us may change our mind and label you as the Covid19 expert instead of the _________, I'll be nice and leave that blank. LOL

Oh NO!!!

What will the Amigo's do if Dougy goes completely libtard LOL

Never been a Dougie fan but I have to give him a lot of credit, although he could have closed non essential business a few days earlier which I said all along, otherwise he's done an excellent job in the fight against the Coronavirus. Heck he'll even get my vote come next election if he keeps this up and puts the Covidiots on ice.

In the US, the national guard is being used to help distribute food for the long lines of folks in cars needing food. However our dear leader has ordered an end to the deployments after 89 days. So they will not get to 90 days where additional active duty benefits kick in!

The miles long lines of cars backed up for hours to get food is amazing similar to the Great Depression days , although I wasn't around! Back then we had leadership in a President (Roosevelt) unlike today where our dear leader spends is days making up nasty names for those that don't praise him. fires all the top people that follow facts and wants to start a new war with China. He thrives on chaos just like in all his failed businesses scams (Trump Univ and shame charity) and bankruptcies.

Yet was enjoying a fun day of golfing today while in the past he bitched Obama should not be golfing. I haven't seen the 89-day reports in the media, I'm surprised.

Don't bother. He's already said he has enough money put away to pay for his escort visits and is just bitching because he likes conspiracies.
