Ugh, not doing well today. They renewed quarantine for my area. At the same time they announced that they are transitioning two very densely populated central areas of the capital, which have a high flow of people in and out, many markets and street vendors, etc., out of quarantine. Something seems fishy to me. The mayors of those two municipalities are always very vocal, always on TV discussing how hard quarantine is for its residents. Our mayor, by contrast, never gets airtime since we are a lower-population more rural area outside of Santiago. The general consensus from what I have read online seems to be that it's probably their media presence that helped, not that their numbers are so great. We are not being shown a lot of the data that the Health Ministry is using to make these decisions, unfortunately.
