Quarentine is lifted

From march to may, chile was on volunteer quarentine. And in may the 15th, chile entered in total quarentine becaise of the great amount of people getting the virus and dying. This resulted in the whole country stopping for unlimited time. After two long months, chile was finally able to lift in many parts of the country the total quarentine. One of the main reasons was because the economy was going down and couldnt continue like that. Another reason was that the number of people with the virus went down in huge amounts. The lifting of total quarentine dosent mean that we are now allowed to go out like nothing is going to happen or that the virus is gone. So we still have to be careful and looking out for each other.

The mysterious death of hundreds of elephants

In early May, a routine plane flight by group o conservationists confronted a trail of death. In Botswana, one of the largest nature reserves in Africa, the experts sighted from the heights, more than a hundred dead elephants, most of them near wells or lagoons. A month after that first flight, investigations identified up to 350 bodies. The reason for these deaths is unknown. Haunting was discarded as a cause of death for these animals since all of them keep their tusks intact, but there are possible causes, such as dehydration or the presence of a virus in the water. The Botswana Government announced that in two weeks they'll have the results of the blood tests of the dead animals.

The People v.s Trump: International students and universities

President Trump announced not long ago a temporary ban on all international student visas as long as the classes imparted at their respective universities were taken at its totality through an online platform. This strategy was merely another attempt of the already fractured American government to impose its ideology over the private educational institutions; international students were threatened with deportation if they didn't comply with the policy. Once again, the excessive protectionism inherited by a poor democratic process is clashing with the American dream. President Trump lost the 2016 popular elections against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but as we know, this loss was only on paper, since the system of electors prevalent in the U.S saved the Republican and earned him the seat of the Oval Office. This means one thing and one thing only, most Americans didn't support Trump in the first place and it's more than likely that that support has done nothing but ...

the US elections

In the middle of this pandemic, the United States is having the presidential elections in a few months from now, and there is a lot of revelations of the candidates. The two most voted candidates are Donald Trump, actual president, and Joe Biden, vice-president on Obamas´ era. Them both are in the eye of the huracane because all the confidential files that are leaking in the internet. First of all, we all know that Trump is a very controversial person, with all the things he said while being a president, that get him to be known as a white supremacist and a racist. But Biden was not safe from the leaks, and have serial pedophile accusations. And now, with Kanye West being the new candidate, the discussion now is that if you vote for him you are not taking the elections seriously, and if you vote for him you are a Biden  supporter because you are taking votes that are for Trump.  I dont know much than this but, having the importance that have the US in the world, what would ...

Rupture in the Congress

A hard blow to the Government, an idea that unites opposition parliamentarians and some of the ruling party, and a broad rejection by economists from all sectors, are part of the effects of the intense debate that has taken place in recent days around to the constitutional reform project that seeks that members can exceptionally withdraw 10% of their pension funds. Against a large part of the forecasts, the quorum of 3/5 (93 votes) necessary for the idea of legislating the initiative to be approved and to continue advancing was fulfilled, after 13 pro-government deputies decided to give up on the idea, so that it can be discussed in particular in the Chamber, which will happen next Wednesday. What do you think? Should the project be accepted or not?
