I have never met an international school kid who isn’t a turbolib. Half your suggestions are about shielding the kid from the racial underclasses, not from wokeness which is the English speaking world’s current elite ideology. You cannot shield from it by coming closer to the educated elite.

Interesting. Peru in my experience is a much poorer country than its economic numbers suggest due to the nature of its mining wealth and extreme plutocratic capture. You do feel the difference clearly just being there vs being in other countries with supposedly similar gdp/ppp per capita.

I do remember that the lockdown started about the same days as in most of Europe and it was really harsh in theory. No travel between cities/provinces or abroad. Every store not selling food closed. Constant police harassment on the street. Double masking mandatory basically everywhere etc. But I was watching Peruvian TV at the time and I also remember convoys of thousands of desperate people walking 100s kms to go back to their home villages as they were destitute in the cities without work. And every other store reopened in a week and started selling some sort of foodstuff to be allowed to operate. Many locals were secretly still doing their professions. The amount of misery around was really palpable and sad. I believe a lot of lower middle class people survived because the government allowed dipping into your mandatory pension contributions, which of course will have consequences later on..

Also at the time I assumed the corona death numbers there had some relation to the general dirtiness/dustiness/dryness and high altitude of almost the entire country. Your lungs take a real beating just being outside for while, I cannot imagine living in a Peruvian city my entire life. My nose starts bleeding regularly everytime I spend some time on the street.

It is funny that you bring up Peru. I have (thorough a strange set of coincidences) spent the first big lockdown wave in Peru for many months and nothing I have experienced later on in Europe (definitely not trivial) even came close to the intensity of the Peruvian lockdown. How do you know about this if I may ask?
