  • #Repost @rioonwatch with @make_repost ・・・ The latest articles are up on RioonWatch.org to read in both English in Portuguese! Here’s a snippet from the eighth article: I live in Guaianases, a neighborhood that is 30km away from the city center, in the far east side of São Paulo. Though I’m in the same city, part of what is often referred to as the economic center of Latin America, the wealth doesn’t reach us out here. I learned of the first death from coronavirus at my front door, when a friend of my mom’s commented on “that disease that was a flu.” Without mentioning it by name, she said that “the disease” had reached the country but that, according to her, it wouldn’t reach Guaianases. In early March, still in the midst of mixed messaging and disinformation, I also heard it said a few times that if Covid-19 had reached our neighborhood, that would mean that the entire world had already been infected. This is because Guaianases, as my neighbors think of it, is far away from everything. In early April, despite the normal activity and transit in the neighborhood, the reality of the situation hit me when a friend went looking for a health post after suspecting he’d been infected. “Coronavirus has arrived in the favela,” he said, half nervous and half joking.
