I'm Ecuadorian and It's hard to see the situation of the country, but let's be a 100% real. Guayaquil situation is also due to the ignorance and misinformation of its citizens. I understand the situation of the people that live the day. If they don't go out to work, they don't eat or have money to support its families. On the other hand, many people (not all) didn’t care about the warnings, curfews, and lockdowns imposed by the government and went out to the streets when they didn't have to. Some people were playing volleyball, taking road trips etc... That is why Guayaquil has to many cases of Covid-19. I'm not defending the government because it clearly is its fault because of how they managed the situation, but it's also our responsibility to protect ourselves. Stay safe / Stay strong !Ecuador 🇪🇨
@Robd1 replies dang man, that is horrible. My condolences to your families.
I am also Ecuadorian luckily I don’t live in Guayaquil I Live in Cuenca were there is no much going on but I see people day to day walking around like it’s a normal day they don’t take any precusions they don’t wear mask , gloves , etc.. and i think that this is going to continue because people are ignorant and don’t respect orders I understand people have to work but what about those who are literally walking in the street, sitting in a park this can not keep happening if we want this outbreak to stop we need everyone’s support I have my mother which suffer from lupus is she gets infected she will die and all because people don’t follow order this is all an outrage I’m sorry to all the people that have lost loved ones my condolences to all of you
It's not just the citizens fault. We may have had problems to enforce curfews, but that is happening everywhere. May I need to remind you that our regional governors were the ones to not shut down massive public event like football matches and concerts ? The same ones who didn't impose strict handling on the issue of obligatory quarantined for everybody arriving to the country? Our leaders, or rather lack thereof have it lot of blame into this. Even our mayor had a poor management with the whole airplane situation. Also it hit us just before carnival, a season full of travels and family members visiting from abroad. Ours is the city with the largest population of migrants living abroad in Spain after the feriado bancario
Robd1 true, i’m also an ecuadorian born in new jersey with 99% of my family over there in ecuador all over the country. My family members send us videos of their neighbors burning bodies on the streets, because they have no choice with dead bodies laying in there house for days and even weeks due to this. My tia passed away a few days ago not due to the virus itself but she died from some sort of internal bleeding and hospitals wouldn’t take her in so she didn’t receive the medical attention she needed and was sent home due to lack of space in hospitals. So these are also factors we have to take in, not just the people who won’t stay home
@Slippschitts Hey or maybe china are the patsi
I'm Ecuadorian and it's just hard to see your people dying with no medication, nor ventilators and without food. Hope it ends soon. Stay safe everyone!
the sad part is the entire world its suffering for the same
@@lbpdluis Most people, like o.p. here, don't care about anyone but themselves. Until it hit their home country, there wasn't a problem. Now that it has, it's suddenly a concern. We will all be better off without people like this.
Lo lamento Ecuador. Les cuidan.
Ive heard many doctors now saying the ventilators are a death sentence and does the opposite effect since the problem is that the body is trying to fight a different thing and then the people like suffocate amd die. Italian doctors have even mentioned. Ive heard the main thing they need are huge boosts of vitamin C and melatonin...then treats with the likes of the Cloro n Arith.
But if you dont have that as well?!? But it would be nice if the likes of WHO worked like the web. Actual doctors talking and finding solutions...rather than a corrupt bunch of talking heads trying to push their agenda and possible sales with something they too eerily predicted...to a T?
@@bakerfresh A small percentage recover from the ventilators. Just a straight oxygen tank is better.
This is just immature to blame the aunt from the airport she didn't know
By Feb 17 everybody knew there was virus going around, she did too, and she jumped a flight anyway. Here's a tip: just because airlines are still taking money for flights doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. My sister-in-law kept going on recreational flights after knowing she could catch and spread disease too. Some people just find it more important to show off their ability to blow money on non-essential trips.
Cruise liners offered discounts "After" knowing Covid19 was spreading, and idiots went on cruises because it was a bargain. I doubt they bragged about catching the disease. People are stupid and stubborn and vain...and you can't trust them with your health when they won't even look out for their own.
The woman admitted to developing a fever during her flight back (with multiple people coughing may I add). Then she chose to visit multiple family members, killing 2 of them, and ultimately infecting 17 people. It isn't a matter of playing the "blame game." Unfortunately, because of her actions, along with the other passengers flying back to Ecuador during the pandemic, she has heavily contributed towards the startup of Ecuadors Covid 19 pandemic.
Probably other people who went home are infected as well not only her
Just last year they gave up Assange
I feel so bad for them, we should take this seriously, Prayers for all of them from Malaysia.
My family is from Ecuador but we live in the US. It hurts to see all these people dying. My prayers go to everyone there.

Furthermore, they ended the Cuban medics program that brought hundreds of skilled temporary workers into the country. Shame on the Ecuadorian government

That's what we did.
their whole govt and country are effed up. Hence, they all want to bring their problems up to the good 'ol USA. Not happening under Trump. We don't need to burn down first. The problem gets halted before the flame is lit.
Thank you for sharing this information. As usual, a huge chunk of the situation fails to be mentioned, in order to cause undue panic.
@@sjdss Surely you meant Trump. You know, that orange guy who disbanded the Pandemic Response Team in 2018. That same orange guy who sent 18 tons of the US's PPE to China in January which led to a dire shortage of it here in America. That same orange guy who called Covid-19 "the flu" said it would magically vanish, and retweeted that image of himself "fiddling" while the country suffered. And that same orange guy who now wants to open up the country again to get the economy going again since he knows a bad economy often leads to a failed presidential bid. So what if more people die? As long as he gets reelected, that's all the orange buffoon cares about. And it is now getting into late April, and Covid-19 is still here and still killing many Americans. As of today, it has killed over 45,000 Americans. Just today it killed over 2,800 Americans. In ONE DAY. On February 28th, Trump said we had it contained. And today TWENTY-EIGHT HUNDRED AMERICANS DIED FROM IT. I just can't believe the number of fools who have blinded themselves to the abject fraud of this presidency.

Mr. 123 80 It’s not a cure it’s only good for treating it’s symptoms. Meaning that unless we have a near infinite supply to give everyone to take every time they get sick, because they can get reinfected, it’s no good. Plus it’s not a miracle it simply makes the effect go faster. Unless there is new evidence it actually cures it this is what I found out so far.

PSYCHO SPARTAN300 especially when the rich should die off first
I think there is something 'else' going on to what we think. something common to th deaths, for sure...is the medication the dying people are using. The deaths tend to be the elderly/those with underlying issues. The most common issues are diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, cancer plus complications from smoking and alcohol. With these people, I really think they're perceived as 'expendable'. I wonder if something was used to wipe them out and for it just to be considered normal.

Nick C - Aiir travel makes all of us moe vulnerable to the spread of disease. This one is unusually infectious.
They weren’t told about vitamin D3/K2 to raise the immune system, hydroxycloriquione a medicine that is used for malaria, (using oxygen instead of ventilators,) IV vitamin C, high doses, magnesium to help the vitamin D3. They should have been told all of this! Also to use the antibiotic azithromycin. Listen to Dr Savani Ayyrudi on youtube as he wrote a letter to President Trump about this and gave all the protocols for treatment of the virus. Just goggle Dr Savani letter to President Trump and look at the letter. This would have saved those ill or in the early stages. The CDC wants to wait and isolate until our country fails apart. We can be vigilant and keep the elderly apart from healthy but the healthy can have the infection but showing no symptoms. Do wear masks and sanitizer on your hands. Please call the Americans to get to this information. Read on CZcams about Dr Savani. God be with all of you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I can tell you here in Pennsylvania they are over reporting death. If a person has a heart attack and tests positive for covid but were not experiencing symptoms the cause of death is listed as covid with contributing factor heart failure. The state gets more money from the federal government for higher covid deaths. Just yesterday the Governor announced they were removing 269 people from the covid death count.

It's undoubtedly we're living unprecedented times. I just really want to let the world knows what's going on in Nicaragua. Daniel Ortega's regimen has been denied any COVID-19 positive and encourages its citizens to promote gatherings at public places. On April 20th classes were retaken and kids were going back to school otherwise they would be expelled from them. This is way out of proportion.
Governments like those will cause humanity to become extinct...
Im from Nicaragua too and it worries me for whats gonna happen over there. The pinche sandinista health department says there has been 24 deaths from “pneumonia”. But its most likely coronavirus. There have already been many people randomly dropping dead just like how many coronavirus patients do. Its sad. Hay que orar🇳🇮
I am an American citizen who got stuck in my beautiful city of Guayaquil during this epidemic and let me tell you, the fear that you hear in these people’s voices is nowhere near the scary reality that they’re trying to depict. The reason why the previous minister of health resigned was because she outed the government the day before for not rightfully equipping medical attendants and coming to their defense. In effect, she was forced to resign. People over here are paying from $10-$100 just to get information on their loved ones in the hospital and whether they’re dead or not. Tragically, if they’re dead, authorities have gone so far to say they’ll dig up any body to families that want to claim their loved ones. Truly sad.
I am really sorry to all the people who had lost their loved once to covid19.. stay strong
Oh no my poor country I really hope things get better soon for everyone stay safe out there guys 💜
These are difficult times that we will have to overcome, amid many problems that the global pandemic has brought us.

Wait, how is this Trump's fault? You forgot to mention him.
Howard Buttlock this virus is not from Trump. It was flown all over the world from China. The people had it and Communist China Government knew it and didn’t tell anyone but the people who were exposed went on the New Year flights all over the world and spread it. The people didn’t know they were infected. Luckily the President knew something was happening in Wuhan China and shut all flights fro the country. That saved millions of Americans. Later we were told about the outbreak but was given wrong estimates. This was a bioengineered made virus that got out of their lab in Wuhan, China. We have learned more as we have gone through this. We do know the ventilators makes it worse but each dr uses their own methods. Use oxygen instead with the medicines. Praying for all of you!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

As Guatemalan, and with a very similar culture than Ecuadorians, I can see that this is probably going to happen to us in a couple of months too. People here is still not taking covid seriously and our healthcare is underfunded and lacks infrastructure. And to make matters worst, nowadays is impossible to get protective gear or ventilators since the US is hoarding it all.
This is so tragic. Ecuador seems to have a poor control of the covid outbreak.

These are really harsh times we all going through right now since world war 2. And there are two major things needs to be done once this get over. From bottom to top certain essential changes in WHO executives and its working system and to get answers of tough questions from China with transparent investigation related to the virus under the supervision of heads of United Nations .......
How will that help with the pandemic, it could have started anywhere, and from what is unfolding right now, china seem to have dealt with it quite well, coz despite the fact that the whole world had initial warnings, the situation wasn't being dealt with properly. There are also many other countries that were able to act quickly and efficiently like South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong, also japan. I think Covid 19 has exposed alot of problems around the world with health care and the people themselves.

I know this maybe taken offensively to many people, so please accept my apologies. I don't understand why many cities, countries that are having the issue of storing or finding ground to bury lots of deceased people, don't just perform cremation. It's more sanitary and will prevent the spread of the virus. 💔
In this particular case because it's expensive and the most affected people are the poor people but I don't think it's even phisically possible in the case of ecuador, guayaquil specifically because there aren't enough crematoriums.

Also the fact that people here don’t want their loved ones to be lay to rest with people they don’t know, that’s why some have been hiding their dead in food trucks to bury them elsewhere

Corona ravages Ecuador
New York City: Hold my beer
LuDimezofKush Wuhan: hold my bat soup
Prayers to Ecuador 😩
Very tough, very respectful and needed. "Press" on!
People went outside, to the beach, literally went everywhere even with the lockdown in place-posting everywhere. If it wasn’t for the literal one day a week permission to go out only for essentials with curfew, it would be apocalyptic. Nobody talked about how the most affluent of the people in Guayaquil had weddings, gatherings, and still went out. Ecuadorians did not infect each other, but Ecuadorian people who live outside the country brought it in and everyone else knowing this disobeyed.
The good Lord will surely protect his own. Heads up good people.
Where is W.H.O and the $100s of millions of dollars they receive annualy?
They are the ones behind this plandemic.
Wow this is so sad
So many lessons to learn from this experience. 🌍
Officially Ecuador claims 520 dead from covid19.
In many countries, the authorities are trying to minimize the toll, because they don't want to be blamed for their failure - as illustrated by Ecuadorian health minister in the video, who contends that the country was ready but that the people didn't respect the guidelines.
His job is also to make sure that the people will follow the guidelines - using lawful force if needs be.
In Dniepro, Ukraine, the mayor ordered his staff to dig hundreds of graves, even before the epidemic started. He filmed the result with a drone, and showed the gloomy video to his population: "This is for you if you don't respect the lockdown".
I think he did a good job. You need to scare people a little bit, otherwise they'll wait until it's too late to adapt their behavior.
This BBC article says that the Government is claiming 6700 deaths.....If they are trying to hide numbers why would they admit to 6700? www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-52324218
@@StarrWolf64 You misread the paper, which says: "The government said 6,700 people died in Guayas province in the first two weeks of April, far more than the usual 1,000 deaths there in the same period."
@nbre so their government will admit that more people than usual have died just not willing to admit from the virus?
@@StarrWolf64 I guess they didn't test the bodies, so the cause of the death has been left "unknown". But it's clear that a good number of these people died from covid19. The president of Ecuador himself declared a few days ago that the official figures - those they transmit to the WHO every day - are an understatement.
I understand people are scared and just want to get home, but know that there are consequences others must pay if your not self responsible.
Muchas fuerzas para nuestros hermanos Ecuatorianos desde Perú! Venceremos !
I live in Guayaquil it was horrible what we went through 2 weeks ago, every day we hadnews that relatives or friends had died all the government numbers 911, 171 were collapsed nobody answers the emergency phone calls, dead bodied cannot be found in hospitals, relatives have to go through the morge and the containers to found their family after 3, 5, 7 days without an explanation because until this day the dead bodies are gone fathers, sisters, mums go were creamed and not given to their relatives, the hospitals wouldn't accept more people there was no enough beds for everybody and pharmacys didn't have any meds for any decease not even coronavirus meds, labs couldn't test all the suspects of coronavirus and the Government keept lying and telling us that everything was under cotrol, more than 13.000.00 persons died in april, and that are the consequences of corruption, and the culture of the people that is doing what they want.
The streets of Ecuador are very similar to the streets of India. Will this be the scenario of India pretty soon? Scares me to death
according2paro
It won’t happen . India is taking all necessary measures to contain the virus. And till now , we have been successful
Sahil karir i hope you’re right, but I fear that it won’t be that way. We must prepare ourselves mentally for the worst case scenario
We can only hope. It's time to cull the herd.
according2paro we can only hope so with the over population in India.
#SOS ECUADOR 🙏🏼🇪🇨
In my aunts town in ecuador there is 0 cases i think i havent been updated
My brother, who is a doctor in Guayaquil, was seriously sick, many doctors were sent home, with no medicación at all.
It is known that in Ecuador doesn’t administrate the Tuberculosis vaccine to new borns, people are saying that this is one of the reason COVID-19 spread so easily. This is only what I heard it is not a fact
Ana Rojas
Yeah that’s not correct. Covid-19 would spread no matter the vaccine .
Oh this is why I can’t go outside! The world it’s sick!
did you find about about wuhan virus 3 hours ago? where have you been the last few weeks?
Él Capitán it’s technically not airborne but the particles could linger in the air up to several hours.
If you life in a shithole country like equator than yeah, but this is not the case for Sweden, or other curtness in Europe when u can go outside and do whatever u like.
@@sokol5805 i am in Mexico and I go bicycling every day. I keep my distance from others and wear a mask and use hand sanitizer too. At least we can go outside where I am and some restaurants are open with take out only.
Lupo 89 thousands of people died in Italy and it’s a rich country?
I had reservations for our health minister since 3rd wk of January 2020 for him not fighting the closure of inbound international flights. Watching what is happening in Ecuador, I may even have to thank him.
sending prayers for my country 😓
