Buenos Aires, August 14 (RHC)-- Latin America remains a major epicenter of COVID-19. Mexico’s death toll has topped 54,000 with nearly a half-million confirmed coronavirus cases.
Argentina’s death toll topped 5,000, and cases are continuing to surge to record levels.
Dr. Arnaldo Dubin of the Argentinean Intensive Care Society told reporters: “If we’ve had low death rates until now, it’s because the sick have been adequately cared for by the health system. When the system starts to fill up, the results turn poor, and mortality begins to increase.”
