Looks like this little country of Ecuador has made some news, I have a Facebook friend who lives in Colombia and she asked if I was ok. We are indeed burning bodies in the streets down in Guayas province. A couple things, one it is not the actual cremation that is a problem, there are at least 4 crematoriums in the country but the pick up of the deceased is the problem. Also, people are trying to get their deceased loved ones to other provinces for burial, and the authorities are not allowing that, so they are burning them in the streets. No one seems to be sure about the contagion after death...
Here in Manabi, they are taking every precaution they can think of...even here washing the parking lot and outdoor area of the local hospital. 200,000 gallons of disinfectant if I remember correctly.
The numbers continue to climb, not by standards of other countries, but it is not over. All we can do is stay home, and pray.
Take care loved ones, stay tuned...the adventure continues.
Take care and God Bless you, that poor country does not have the equipment to fight this or the knowledge of how serious this is. Seen picks of the over full hospitals and people dying in the street. I am sure they do not have the tests they need to know how bad it is.
