Brief update from Panama. June 25th 2020.

Hello World!! Hope that in your place things are getting better.

I wouldn’t hesitate to say that Panama is now getting much worse. There are three simple things that indicate it:

#1. The effective reproductive number climbed up to 1.63, reported on Tuesday 23rd June.

#2. The Minister of Health left the government and the Vice-Minister of Health became the Minister, announced on Wednesday 24th June.

#3. The number of confirmed positive cases of the last 24 hours reached 1007, exceeding a thousand for the first time in the nation, reported Today, Thursday 25th June.

* Total accumulated number is now 29,037. The population is 4.2 millions. It means roughly 1 of each 150 persons has gotten infected by Today in total.

** The number of active cases is 13,673. Approximately 1 of each 300 persons is currently infected now.

I honestly got surprised and shocked by #2. This made me feel sooooo anxious of this country.
