| 520 | 3 | |a In Latin America,the Coronavirus emerged relatively late compared to other regions of the world,and this allowed for the governments to get prepared. Three of the fourcountries studied took advantage of this, but the Brazilian government did nottake the threat seriously and reacted late, when the country was already inserious trouble. Brazil was therefore badly affected not only compared to otherLatin American countries, but also compared to many countries in other regionsof the world. Official data show that the number of deaths due to COVID-19 per1 million population in Chile was slightly higher than in Brazil, but this couldpartially be explained by the exceptionally high number of tests carried out inChile, revealing significantly more cases of Coronavirus infection per 1million population, while in the other three countries, especially in Brazil, testinglagged far behind.In Latin America,COVID-19 posed the biggest threat to elderly people or people with poor health,and to the poor. For developing countries, the pandemic was especiallychallenging from an economic point of view, because they had to deal with toughfiscal and financial constraints. Also, early access to vaccines proveddifficult for many of these countries because richer countries developed vaccinenationalism, being able to afford the rapid buying and stockpiling of vaccines.Thereby, among other things, COVID-19 highlighted gaps in the world that needto be addressed without delay. There are substantial inequalities between theworld regions, but also within individual countries. These inequalitiesincrease the exposure and weaken the resilience to extreme situations such asCOVID-19. Internal disputes and outrages also revived; many people blamedgovernments for the inadequate management of the pandemic situation; however,objective evaluations are still missing.From the point of view of the economy, in LatinAmerica too, the tourism and catering sectors suffered the most from the restrictionassociated with the Coronavirus, and many of the small and medium-sizedenterprises went bankrupt. However, perhaps most importantly, sincerestrictions aimed at mitigating the risks to human health, digitization,automatization and robotization came to the fore. It became clear that underthese conditions, economies would have stopped almost completely withoutdigital services, and in the future, those countries which invest into theseinnovative solutions could gain a considerable competitive advantage. | |
