Perhaps the most common of the strange skulls ever discovered by humans are the elongated skulls. Many of these skulls have been found in Peru, especially near the Nazca Road and the Paracas peninsula. New finds are still made on a regular basis by grave robbers, who offer them on the black market. These skulls are characterized by their flat, elongated shape, and in many of them the mummy’s hair and skin are still attached. These skulls can be found in other places such as private museums – the Paracas History Museum and the Ica regional museums. Similar skulls have also been found around the world, including in Bolivia, France, Norway, Malta, Egypt, northern Iraq, Ukraine, Siberia, and South Africa (aboriginal people say the skulls are skulls). belongs to the Boskops) and Vanuatu in Oceania. Current science suggests that such a deformed skull shape is due to an old custom of the Aboriginal people, who decapitated babies’ heads to the point that they were deformed. But why this phenomenon seems to happen around the world, in unrelated cultures, is still not explained. In fact, these discovered skulls are sometimes almost twice the size of the average human skull. Many of these skulls are also missing some of the grooves that the average person possesses, including the frontal ridge and the sagittal sulcus. However, they have an additional groove, running diagonally across the forehead. The bones of these skulls are usually much thicker and more solid than our own. Meanwhile, the custom of beheading children does indeed exist in some cultures, perhaps as a result of the admiration that people have for their religious deities, who have long head. They imitate the shape of the head in the hope of becoming like the gods. In Egypt, people find not only skulls but also decorations, wall carvings of people with long heads in a considerable number, many traces that they are from the ancient time. greatness of the pharaohs. Egyptologists consider these to be the stylistic descriptions of commoners for royal headdresses. But unusually long skulls have also been found in mummies, such as those of King Tutankhamun – which are unusually long compared to others. Replica of King Tutankhamun’s mummy at an exhibition in New York. Some of the long skulls of the Paracas peninsula have been tested for DNA, but the DNA found is unlike any existing life form on Earth. Preston Nichols, a technical engineer who worked on the extremely secretive Montauk Project near New York, thinks these are the people who were worshiped like gods in ancient Egypt, they all had longer heads and double heads. eyes bigger than ours. However, there are many conspiracy theories that these long skulls belong to aliens from the Sirius B system. Indigenous tribes in the mountains of China, Tibet and the Dogon tribe of Mali, Europe Phi, also tells of long-standing contacts with guests from the Sirius star system. The priests of the Dogon tribe told Western researchers about the existence of a third star in the Sirius star system – a small star named Sirius C, much earlier than mainstream science. discovered it in 1995. 25 skeletons were found in the village of Onavas (Northwest Mexico) in 2012. 13 of them have elongated skulls, 5 of which have strange teeth: pointed incisors and flat fangs. While much remains unclear about the tombs, the team suggests that the difference in skulls and teeth is “a result of the customs used by the wealthy during that time”. While in other simple tombs, people could not find abnormal signs in the skull. Anunnaki’s skull Besides the elongated skulls, these skulls are believed by many conspiracy theorists to belong to an anthropomorphic reptile from the constellation Orion and the planet Niburu – more than 200,000 years ago, extraterrestrials. This earth was responsible for creating our species, homo sapiens. They mixed the DNA of their own species with the DNA of the Bushmen of South Africa, who were originally from Lemuria. In this way, they created a new race. The Anunnaki needed gold dust to protect the waning atmosphere of the planet Nibiru from the harsh effects of the universe. After this event, the Anunnaki people still regularly visit humans. They have interfered with human development in negative ways, even until recently. Furthermore, researcher Bill Ryan from the Camelot Project, says that the Anunnaki have a remarkably large chin when compared to humans. This description is consistent with many of the skulls that have been discovered, which have a large, broad chin. In the photos below, this non-human jaw shape can be clearly seen and certain cranial grooves are missing. Above: a human skull. Below: Anunnaki skull found near the old site of Puma Punku, in Bolivia. The human skull has a narrow chin, while the Bolivian skull, probably belonging to the Anunnaki, has a wide chin. On the right, you can see that the Bolivian skull cannot be human: the sagittal groove, which runs from the center of the head to the back of the head, is not found. Starchild skull This skull was discovered by an American couple in a mine in Mexico City, Chihuahua. They then took the skull home and kept it as a souvenir in their garage in El Paso, Texas, for the rest of their lives. In 1998, the strange skull was owned by two other residents of El Paso – Ray and Melanie Young. However, Melanie is a nurse and believes that this skull is a human defect. so she gave it to author and researcher Lloyd Pye (then 18 years old), who had written a book about humans like Bigfoot in America and Yeti in the Himalayas, and about the influence of Anunnaki on the development of humans. human development. Pye was fascinated by the skull (of which only the upper part remained) and tested its DNA several times. This was repeated over and over again and showed that the skull was hundreds of years old and the mother of the “creature” must have been human, but the father’s DNA showed that it was not present anywhere. anywhere on Earth. Pye named the creature “Starchild” and proposed the skull to science. However, they were not concerned and assumed that it was part of the malformed skull of a child who was likely to die from congenital hydrocephalus. Later, a similar skull was found in Peru. Lloyd Pye (1946 – 2013) with the “Starchild” skull. Sealand Skull The Sealand skull was discovered in 2007 in Olstykke, Denmark by workers replacing sewer pipes. Because of its strange shape, most scientists assumed it was a joke and showed no interest in studying it. Only in 2010 this skull was first examined at the College of Veterinary Medicine in Denmark. The researchers concluded that it was real, but they did not know to which species on Earth it belonged. This skull is larger than that of Homo sapiens, so they initially suspected it might be some kind of horse. However, further examination revealed that it also did not belong to the horse species. The skull was then sent to the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Carbon dating revealed that it belonged to an organism that lived between 1200 and 1280 BC, but they were unable to provide further information about the skull’s origin. So far this is the only skull discovered and many digging around the area where this skull was discovered has not found any other bone fragments on the body. Andahuaylillas’ mummy In 2011, Renato Davila Riquelme of the Privado Ritos Andinos museum in Cuzco, Peru, made an amazing discovery – a mysterious mummy with an elongated skull was found in the city of Andahuaylillas, a southern province of Quispicanchi, Peru This mummy has a strangely shaped head with a length of 50cm, but the body is only as small as that of a newborn baby (the skull is almost as long as the body). This mummy’s teeth are fully grown, but have fewer molars than humans. The eye socket is also much larger than that of a human. Its fontanel is open – usually only in babies under the age of one. Davila Riquelme invited three anthropologists from Spain and Russia to examine. They examined this strange mummy and concluded that it could not be human. They wanted to do a DNA study on the rest of the eyeball in the right eye socket to identify genetic DNA and thereby help determine if this was a human. However, the results of that study have never been made public.

Boiling River. Boiling River Our understanding of the history of the Boiling River (as it relates to humans) comes from two primitive sources: local Amazonians and oil field documents from the early stages of oilfield development. Agua Caliente. Map of the boiling regions of the Boiling River, up to the range of the Boiling River merging with other rivers. Ancient history Traditionally, locals say that the Boiling River has existed since “before the days of the great-grandfathers and nuns”. The ancient name of the river was “Shanay-timpishka”, which means “Boiling in the heat of the sun”, although the heat source is likely geothermal. This is a pretty interesting name for a variety of reasons. First, the name speaks for itself as a hypothesis, illustrating how the ancients sought to explain the world around them. Second, the name is in the Amazonian-Quechua dialect which may not be archaic, likely only a few hundred years old. There is certainly a deeper history to explore, and more research will be done to truly understand what the Boiling River meant to the ancestors of the Amazons. According to Mr. Maestro Juan Flores, shaman of the Mayantuyacu region, Peru, the Boiling River has always been considered a place of great spiritual power. In the past, locals were still afraid to go into the forest of the Boiling River, especially the area of ​​Mayantuyacu, in the province of Puerto Inca, western Peru because the jungle is home to very powerful spirits, and There are even man-eating leopards. As a result, only the most powerful magicians (some of whom are ancestors of Mr. Maestro Juan) often visit the river to live with the spirits and learn the art of healing from the spirits. Westerners come to the river In the late 1920s, Peru was looking to expand its Amazon region and better connect with cities like Pucallpa and elsewhere in the country. In 1929, American geologist Robert B. Moran conducted an aerial survey from an airplane for a railway construction project and discovered a large oval mound jutting out of the forest. He immediately identified this as a potential oil reservoir, claiming it to be a salt dome. Below the River. Moran continued to organize field expeditions in 1930, 1931, and 1932. When Moran and his colleagues first encountered the Boiling River, they were concerned that the Agua Caliente Dome was a volcano and not a volcano. are sedimentary structures because geothermal systems can “cook off” oil reserves, rendering them worthless. Fortunately, they found layers of natural oil seeping into other parts of the area (not on the Boiling River) and determined that the river was not of volcanic origin. In their early maps, they referred to the river as “Shanaya” or “Shamaya,” a variation on the name “Shanay-timpishka.” In their accounts of the 1930s, Moran’s group said that “no more than 50 people lived in the area of ​​Agua Caliente”, and that the majority of them were “descendants of people who arrived in the region during the outbreak. rubber explosion”. The account also describes “there were a small number of Indians living in the main rivers, where they were rarely seen and their numbers were practically insignificant”. This is consistent with the shaman Maestro Juan’s description that only the most powerful of magicians go to the Boiling River, so few natives live there. Take a sample of 97oC boiling water. We can only guess what the natives had to think, as the oilmen entered this dangerous land of powerful spirits. Finally, Moran and his team confirmed the potential of the Agua Caliente oil field, obtained a concession to develop and exploit the oil field, and in 1938 they successfully drilled the first oil well in the area. Amazon, in Peru. Over the next 80 years or so, the ownership of Agua Caliente passed through different oil companies. Currently, Maple Energy Company is exploiting this oil field. Since the early 1990s, non-Amazon native visitors have come to the Boiling River region from all over the world, visiting Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin for traditional healing. Magus Maestro Santiago Enrique and his wife. Shaman centers on the Boiling River A young shaman has just finished his studies to become a traditional healer and he visits the forest. While walking, he accidentally stepped into a hunter’s trap and was shot in the leg. He was taken to the hospital and the doctors told him he would never walk again. A nurse named Sandra challenged: “If you’re such a powerful magician, why don’t you heal yourself?” Remembering the stories his grandfather used to tell him about the powerful healing spirits present on the Boiling River, the young mage picked up his crutches and walked into the woods. Maestro shaman Don Juan Flores. At the Boiling River, there was a Came Renaco tree that crossed over the Boiling River, its roots clinging to a rock and its branches submerged in the steam of the river. The young mage healed himself using the sap, bark and leaves of the Came Renaco tree along with the river’s water, and he was able to walk again. It was here that he later founded the healing resort of Mayantuyacu and began his journey like Maestro Juan Flores, or sheripiari Asháninka (healer, shaman). He married the nurse Sandra and together, they run the healing center, helping to treat tourists with ancient Amazonian remedies. Maestro Enrrique, shaman of the healing center Santuario Huistin, was originally a builder and tells how he accepted his call to become a curandero (male physician) after having a dream about the Virgin Mary in the forest. The Lady tells him to fold his tools and draw people to the rain forest to reveal its healing secrets to them. He obeyed and sought guidance from Maestro Juan Flores. After completing his training, he founded his healing center named Santuario Huistin on the Boiling River. Together with his wife Ayme, also a curandera (medicine woman) and shaman, they treat travelers with traditional Amazonian medicine. The rain forest around the Boiling River was destroyed. Why is it still a mystery? Before the oil field exploration and development program, the Soi River was a remote location known only to the locals. When the first oil field development began in the area, the rights and welfare of the indigenous peoples as well as the best for the environment were not taken into account. Moran’s accounts make it clear that the oil workers were initially troubled by the presence of the Boiling River in the area because geothermal systems could “swallow up” oil reserves, make them worthless. Fortunately for the oil miners, they found leaks of natural oil in the area (not on the Boiling River), and could see that the Agua Caliente dome was not a volcano. Although the Soi River was included in the original documents in the oil field rights document, it is reported only as a landmark, and as the original northern boundary of the oil field. Andrés Ruzo sits beside the Boiling River. Over the past 80 years, the rules, regulations and requirements related to oil development in the Amazon (especially with regard to environmental and social issues) have dramatically changed things. From the original mining concession to the present day, it is certain that the Boiling River will be identified as an important cultural site. Geothermal scientist Andrés Ruzo. In 2011, the Peruvian geophysicist’s aunt, Andrés Ruzo, introduced him to the Boiling River, as she had visited the Mayantuyacu region. The concept of this landmark quickly became clear to Andrés Ruzo through preliminary tests that the river was of geological importance; While sharing his observations with Maestro Juan, Maestro Juan then decided to bless Andrés in the process of studying the sacred river. Then Maestro Enrrique also blessed Andrés. In doing so, they allowed him to become the first geologist to make a detailed study of the Boiling River. Since this time, Andrés Zuro has worked closely with both the Mayantuyacu and Santuario Huistin treatment centers to study the river, protect it, and in the utmost responsibility they have brought it to the river. world.

Lina Medina as a newborn at the age of 5 (left) and with her son when she was 11 years old. To the shock of the couple, the doctor said their daughter was 7 months pregnant. Soon after, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy via caesarean section. At the age of five, 7 months and 21 days, she became the youngest mother in the world. Rare disease Born on September 23, 1933, Lina Medina is one of nine children in the family. Her pregnancy at such a young age was a shock to her relatives, as well as to the public. But for pediatric endocrinologists, a 5-year-old pregnancy is entirely possible. They believe that Medina has a rare genetic condition, called precocious puberty, that causes a child’s body to transform into an adult body too soon (before age 8 for girls and before age 9 for girls). boy). Boys with this disorder will have a low voice, rapid genital growth, and girls will have periods and breasts develop early. It is estimated that 1 in 10,000 children has precocious puberty, and the incidence is 10 times higher in girls than in boys. Scientists don’t know the exact cause of the disorder, but recent studies have found that girls who are sexually abused may experience puberty earlier than their peers. Regarding the case of Lina Medina, Dr Edmundo Escomel, of the University of Ricardo Palma, Peru reported in a medical journal that she had her first period when she was only 8 months old. However, other documents indicate that she started menstruating at the age of 3. Either way, it’s an amazingly early start. Closer examination of Medina at the age of 5 showed that she had developed breasts, wider hips and bone growth (signs of post-puberty). Although, her body develops prematurely, she is still an innocent child. Who is the author of the fetus? Precocious puberty partly explains Lina Medina’s pregnancy. But it doesn’t clear things up. Of course, there must be someone responsible for the pregnancy but certainly not some boy with the same condition as her. Meanwhile, Medina has not told doctors or authorities about the father of the baby, or what circumstances led to her pregnancy. Tiburelo, Medina’s father, who worked as a local silversmith, was arrested on suspicion of raping his son. However, he was soon released due to the lack of evidence, or the lack of witnesses to convict him. Consistently, Tiburelo staunchly denies raping her daughter. According to some media outlets, Medina may have been abused during festivals that took place near her village. However, there is nothing to prove this conjecture. Mother and daughter are only 5 years apart. What happens to the young mother? When news of Lina Medina’s pregnancy spread, it attracted attention from all over the world. Newspapers in Peru offered to give Lina Medina’s family thousands of dollars for the right to interview and film her, but were unsuccessful. Many newspapers even offered to provide money for Melina’s family to settle in the United States. But Medina and her family declined all offers and did not answer any questions regarding the case. More than 80 years on, neither Medina nor her family have taken advantage of this strange phenomenon to their profit, while medical records from that time provide complete documentation of her condition during pregnancy. . In it, accompanied by the report of the doctors treating her, the abdominal X-ray pictures clearly showed the bones of a developing fetus inside her body. Other tests also confirmed she was pregnant. Medina’s baby at birth weighing about 2.5kg was named Gerardo, after the doctor who first examined her. Two years after the birth, an expert in child education at Columbia University named Paul Koask was allowed to visit the Medina family. He rated the world’s youngest mother as “above normal intelligence” and her baby “absolutely normal”. Medina saw the child as a younger brother and so did her siblings in the family. An obstetrician named Jose Sandoval, who has written a book about Medina’s case, said she prefers to play with dolls than with children. As for Gerardo, he grew up thinking Medina was his older sister and only learned the truth when he was 10 years old. Gerardo was healthy for most of his life, but sadly, he died quite young at the age of 40, in 1979. The cause of death was bone disease. Lina Medina, after the shock of pregnancy, continues to live a quiet life in Peru. In the early 1970s, she married a man named Rául Jurado and gave birth to her second son when she was almost 40 years old. They live in a poor neighborhood in Lima and still avoid prying eyes. Since 2002, no one knows how her life and her family are. If alive, Medina would be 88 years old now.

Pregnant at the age of 5 Lina Medina was born into a poor family in Ticrapo, Castrovirreyna province (Peru), to a silversmith father Tiburelo Medina and mother Victoria Losea. In the early spring of 1939, the family began to worry about their 5-year-old daughter, so they took her to see a doctor in Lima. Her belly has grown in recent months, so her family thinks she has a tumor in her body. All were very shocked and horrified when the doctor diagnosed little Lina Medina 7 months pregnant. Dr. Gerardo Lozada took her to Lima (the capital of Peru) before the operation, so that other experts could confirm that Lina was indeed pregnant. Six weeks later, on May 14, 1939, Medina gave birth to a healthy baby boy, weighing 2.7 kg. Because the pelvis is still small, doctors recommend a cesarean section. The surgery was performed by Dr. Lozada and Busalleu, while Dr. Colretta was anesthetist. Her case was recorded by Dr. Edmundo Escomel at La Presse Medicale hospital. Here, doctors discovered that despite being young, Medina had adult genitals and details that were very different from normal girls such as: her period had started at 8 months. age, and breasts develop by age 4. At the age of 5, her pelvis began to develop, and her height increased significantly. These are all common signs of puberty. In the end, the doctors concluded that the girl had precocious puberty syndrome. A young mother (right cover) gave birth to a baby when she was 5 years old. According to Telegraph India, Lina Medina became the youngest mother in the world at the age of 5 years, 7 months and 21 days. The baby boy was named Gerardo, after the doctor who delivered Lina. Precocious puberty affects about 1 in 10,000 children each year. However, the trend towards early puberty in children is increasing, and most of the time, the cause is unknown. Some factors increase the likelihood of early puberty in children including genetic factors, endocrine, living environment, diet, living conditions in the family, other diseases of the body. Medina herself never told anyone about the child’s father, although Medina’s father Tiburelo was arrested soon after on charges of child rape. In the end, Tiburelo was released and the charges against him were insufficient. He did not accept responsibility for having sex with his daughter, nor did authorities have evidence or Medina’s testimony to arrest Tiburelo. However, an article on the case published in October 1955 by author Luis Leon said that many remote Indian villages in Peru regularly held religious festivals. Up to that point, they still maintained the customs of group sex and sometimes rape. There is no shortage of stories like the Medina mentioned above. In this case, the authorities were unable to obtain any reasonable testimony from Medina about the incident. If Medina is willing to tell the story, this will be solid evidence to find the biological father of the fetus. Baby Lina Medina and her son. Still living a secret life When there is no explanation for this case, the media weaves many stories around the girl as well as the child’s father. Newspapers in Peru offered to pay thousands of dollars to interview and film Lina and her family. Newspapers in the US also want to do a program about this special case. Many organizations even want Lina to appear in a reality show about weird people. Many American newspapers at that time were disappointing when they published similar articles and only intended to stimulate the curiosity of readers. Once again, the whole Medina family received many invitations to the US to attend interviews with the press. The stories woven from the press also turn their lives upside down. This family chose to remain silent and refused all offers. Therefore, documents about her are very few, only a few photos taken when Lina was pregnant with low resolution. Lina regularly refuses interviews from international newspapers, local newspapers and television programs. This story still attracts the attention of the public to this day. For example, the Wikipedia article on Lina Medina still has controversy about whether she is still alive and questions about her are increasing day by day. This is perhaps inevitable given the startling nature of the story, in addition to the girl’s self-isolation. Perhaps, Lina was afraid that people in the community would judge her and her family. 80 years later, the case of Medina is still a strange story. Neither Lina nor her family benefited in any way from this story, and medical records from that time still document her condition fully. There are only two pictures of Lina when she was pregnant. And only a low-resolution profile picture was published alongside medical documents. Up to now, the case of a 5-year-old girl giving birth to a healthy baby is still a rare story and a mysterious problem that medicine has not found the answer to. Although Lina’s record includes various medical records handled by the doctors, the abdominal X-ray showed that the bones of the fetus were developing in Medina’s body. The blood test also confirmed the baby’s pregnancy was completely normal. The analyzes in the file were all reviewed by contemporary researchers, and they were unable to find any errors in Lina’s case. Lina seems to have received fairly good medical care, especially around the time she lived and gave birth to a healthy 2.7kg baby boy on May 14, 1939. The child was born Gerardo and was taken to Tiburelo Medina’s home as soon as he was released. Gerardo grew up thinking that Lina was his older sister, he only knew the truth when he was a teenager. In a 1955 interview, Gerardo stated that he wanted to be a doctor when he grew up. Despite having no disability or health problems, in 1979, Gerardo passed away at the age of 40 of natural causes. In addition to breaking records as the world’s youngest mother, Lina Medina has lived a normal life in Peru. While many people learn about the reason why Lina became pregnant early, child education expert Paul Koask (Columbia University, USA) asked another question. She visited Medina’s family 2 years after Lina gave birth. Koask found Lina “smarter than usual” and growing steadily. According to Time magazine, Lina works as a secretary at Dr. Lozada’s clinic. He was the one who financially supported her to go to school and raised Gerardo. Lina then married a man named Raul in the early 1970s and gave birth to her second child in 1972, at the age of 39. Lina and Raul were not wealthy people. They are still together and live in a poor neighborhood in Lima, called Chicago Chico. The special story of a 5-year-old mother inspired obstetrician Jose Sandoval to write the book Mother Aged 5, which gathers the research and details surrounding this case. Lina herself and her family still keep the principle of being secretive in front of the media as well as those around them. The case of Lina Medina has left the pediatricians astounded and of course this fact has been thoroughly researched. But so far, the true story of the world’s youngest mother Lina Medina and the circumstances surrounding her strange story are still many unanswered mysteries.

Khanh Van’s traditional costume contest at Miss Universe Khanh Van brought to the Miss Universe pageant an Ao Dai inspired by silk weaving. After the national costume contest at Miss Universe 2020 (the contest held late due to the Covid-19 epidemic), Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray selected her 6 favorite and most impressive designs. It is the national costume of Indonesia, Ukraine, Nepal, Peru, Thailand and Vietnam. Khanh Van performed a costume called “Ken Em”, consisting of an outer cocoon and an ao dai combined with a scarf closed inside. The outfit is meant to honor Vietnam’s silk weaving. Creative designer on the background of traditional ao dai. Khoa Ho uses white tones, light materials, and marcame stringing techniques. Sharing with Zing, Khanh Van said that before going on stage, “Ken Em” had problems, broke many places and lost wheels. She had to re-glue the damaged parts herself and fix the parts that were peeling paint due to shipping. Indonesian representative Ayu Maulida Putri wears a Komodo dragon costume. According to many scientific studies, the Komodo dragon (scientific name: Varanus komodoensis) is the largest reptile in the world, inbreeding with many dinosaurs that became extinct millions of years ago. Komodo dragons live only on the island of Komodo (Indonesia) and are in danger of extinction. Nepalese beauty Anshika Sharma appeared on the Miss Universe 2020 catwalk with a climbing outfit. She carried a model of Mount Everest – the highest mountain in the world and located on the border of Nepal with China. Catriona Gray’s next choice is the national costume of Peru performed by the beautiful Janick Maceta Del Castillo. The costume of the Peruvian representative is made based on the shape and color of the James flamingo – a small flamingo, living in the Andes plateau of Peru. The traditional costume of the representative of Thailand has the shape of a particular fish, mainly living in the rivers of the land of the golden pagoda. The body of the fish is decorated with sophisticated gems. The entire tail and fins of the fish model are sewn with silk and have the colors of the Thai national flag. The national costume of Ukraine is designed based on the most famous and familiar decorative motifs in the country. The above motif often appears on the doors, tables, chairs, and domes of Ukrainians. According to information from the organizers of Miss Universe 2020, the white color of the above outfit means happiness and longevity.

“I promise to take them home,” said Rommel, the man’s voice distorted behind the two masks he wore on his face. Mr. Rommel finally broke his promise. Just three days later, Rommel’s brother Juan Carlos, 52 years old, died waiting for his turn to be used in the active treatment room at Rebagliati hospital in the capital Lima. The very next day, Rommel’s 80-year-old mother died of encephalitis, a symptom the doctor said was Covid-19. Four days after the mother’s death, Rommel’s father also passed away. “The pain is really so great, I cannot face this truth,” Mr. Rommel could not hide his agony. Massacre in South America On April 18, Peru experienced the deadliest day since the pandemic broke out with 433 patients dying of Covid-19, bringing the total number of deaths to more than 57,000. New strains, the most serious of which are strain P1, are pushing Peru into the next wave of epidemics, the country’s authorities warned. And Peru is no exception in South America. Latin American countries are in despair when the P1 strain spreads faster than ever, making the epidemic situation worse and worse. New cases and deaths rose again in Argentina, Boliva, Peru, Venezueala and Uruguay, with the P1 strain being thought to be the cause behind the new epidemic wave. Hospitals in many South American cities are overcrowded due to too many patients with Covid-19.

Peru, one of the most serious outbreaks in the world, is now entering the deadliest phase of the pandemic. Ester Sabino, a Brazilian scientist tracking the spread of the P1 strain, said genetic analysis confirmed the P1 strain appeared from the city of Manaus in the Brazilian state of Amazon in the second half of November 2020. In just a few weeks, Manaus gained worldwide fame after city hospitals were overwhelmed by a surge in patients. The P1 strain knocked out the medical system at the places it passed, depleting the oxygen stores, causing many patients to die from not receiving timely treatment. “What we are witnessing is a massacre,” said a health worker at Manaus. Sabino initially hoped the Brazilian epidemic, along with the spread of the P1 strain, could be under control by 2021 when the vaccine begins to be widely distributed. But the Brazilian authorities failed. The spread of the P1 strain is now completely out of control. In Araraquara, a city south of Sao Paulo, a blockade was issued after the outbreak of P1 positive cases. Across Brazil, hospitals are overflowing with Covid-19 patients, many of them in their youths, in contrast to what happened in the early onset of the epidemic. The number of deaths in Brazil doubled in just three months, from 195,000 in early January to more than 384,000 as of April 23. “This strain not only spread much more strongly, it also significantly reduced the effectiveness of the vaccine, increasing the rate of re-infection,” said Antonio Quispe, a Peruvian epidemiologist. Quispe described the P1 strain spreading “quickly and brutally”, bringing a bad nightmare to South America. Incubator of dangerous strains Fearing new strains with vaccine resistance, governments of some countries have tightened traffic control and closed borders with South America. Recently, France has banned all flights from Brazil, French Prime Minister Jean Castex explained that Brazil is experiencing a “terrible” epidemic. “Europe has the right to fear what is happening in Brazil. The more the virus spreads, the more new strains appear. The situation is now extremely, extremely serious,” said Marcos Boulos, infectious disease expert. from the University of Sao Paulo, said. South American countries, where the epidemic is spreading out of control, provide ideal environments for the incubation of new virus strains, Boulos warned. Mr. Boulos’s judgment was correct in India. Variant B.1.617 – Indian variant – is the product of the superinfection in the South Asian country. Last week, India has twice set a world record for corona virus cases on April 22-23. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi likened the health crisis to a “hurricane” that swept across the country. Scientist Miguel Nicolelis criticizes President Jair Bolsonaro’s erroneous strategy that has turned Brazil, South America’s most populous nation, into a global corona virus threat. The coffin carrying the body of the deceased Covid-19 patient is taken to a cemetery in Manaus, Brazil.

While some mutations can weaken the virus, others have the potential to make the virus spread more aggressively, or increase their virulence, the scientist warns. Scientists also rang alarm bells about the epidemic situation in India’s 1.3 billion population. “Change can happen even faster there. India is paving the way for the advent of countless mutations. It’s a terrifying prospect,” warned Nicoleles. “Countries like Brazil and India cannot be spurned or abandoned. They need help, because disease is not a problem for any country, it is a worldwide problem,” said Nicolelis. . In Lima, Mr. Rommel still does not know what type of virus has killed three of his relatives. Even so, the man understands the scale of the disaster engulfing the country, where more than 57,000 people have died from Covid-19. “There are 30 patients waiting in line for each intensive care bed, and they prioritize young patients,” which was what the doctor told Rommel when he took his brother Joan Carlos to the hospital at the end of the month. 3. After being admitted to the hospital, Rommel’s brother never got a chance to leave the emergency room. He died only 3 days after pneumonia and pneumothorax. “The plague here is like a war where people are dying because they can’t find a hospital bed,” Rommel said sourly. India ‘broke the game’ in the second wave of Covid-19 India is being devastated by the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. In just 24 hours, the number of deaths due to the country’s pandemic reached 2,000 people and more than 300,000 new cases.

The above data is based on the research results of MAAP when conducting the analysis of very high resolution satellite images and data, recorded in the territories of all countries in the Amazon Delta, including Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana and Surinam. Accordingly, the Amazon’s primary forest area lost in the past year alone is equivalent to that of the Central American nation of El Salvador. The countries with the most loss of Amazon primary forests in 2020 are Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, respectively. Still according to the MAAP, more than 65% of deforestation of the entire Amazon region in 2020 was recorded in Brazil. South America’s largest country by acreage has lost a total of 1.5 million hectares of forest in the past year, up more than 13% from the year before. The area of ​​deforestation in Brazil is nearly twice the size of Puerto Rico and is mainly concentrated in the south of the country. Meanwhile, the deforestation area in Bolivia in 2020 amounted to a record 240,000 hectares, mainly due to the fires occurring in the Southeast of the country that destroyed the forests in the ecosystems. Chiquitano and Chaco slices. In the case of Peru, the country lost 190,000 hectares of primary forest last year, up 18% from 2019 and also a record number. The main cause of deforestation in Peru is attributed to the burning of forests for arable land. Since mid-2019, data from the early warning satellite system showed that the deforestation rate in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil tended to increase, to the fastest in a decade. According to the Brazilian Institute of Aerospace Research (INPE), the alarm system recorded forest deforestation in May up to 739 km2. This is higher than the 550 square kilometers recorded in May 2018, and twice as high as the area of ​​forest that was destroyed two years ago. According to the head of INPE, Claudio Almeida, 2019 is a “bad year” for the Amazon. As the country with the most area of ​​Amazon, but Brazil is also the country with the most forest loss in 2018 with nearly 16,187 km2. The main reason is due to deforestation for livestock, soybean cultivation and mining. According to the data of Mapbiomas – a research project on the disappearance of protective forest areas in the Amazon forest, in the last 30 years there has been 953,000 hectares of lost forest including protected areas, lands indigenous and inland lands. It is recognized that this figure is equivalent to 6 times the size of the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest city and South America. The results of Mapbiomas add that, excluding protection forests, the Amazon forest area destroyed in the past 30 years has reached 39.8 million hectares, equivalent to 19% of the total natural forest area ever existed. in 1985. Satellite imagery also shows that 84% of the lost area of ​​the world’s largest rainforest has become agricultural land, including pastures and pastures. farmyard. In early December 2020, the European Union (EU) envoy to Brazil, Ambassador Ignacio Ybanez said, until Brazil has not committed to preventing deforestation of the Amazon, the Free Trade Agreement between the EU and the South American Common Market (Mercosur) will not be approved by the parliament of the EU member states to come into force. This happens when the world is concerned about the “green lung of the Earth” that is Amazon being burned more and more. The EU Embassy in Brazil mentioned the deforestation of the Amazon and participation in the Paris Agreement on climate change. In fact, the Amazon wildfire is already at an alarming rate. It not only affects a few countries but is also global because it is the largest forest in the world with immeasurable value.

Photo: Reuters Dr. César Salomé felt a sense of fear as he watched patients with COVID-19 rushing to be transferred to their intensive care unit. For many weeks, the doctor at the Mongrut Hospital in Lima (Peru) has been closely monitoring reports on the disease situation. P.1 – a variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the acute respiratory infections COVID-19, which originates in the Amazon jungle, has raged Brazil and put the country’s health system on the brink fall. Now, his patients are brought in critical condition. If their lungs are damaged, they will die within a few days. Even young and healthy people cannot be safe. He clearly noticed that the P.1 virus was attacking his home country. The Washington Post reported that the P.1 variant, with a series of mutations that made it more contagious as well as potentially dangerous, is no longer a Brazilian problem. It has become a problem for South America and the rest of the world. Fragile border line In recent weeks, P.1 has crept across rivers and borders, evading restrictive measures aimed at controlling its spread across the continent. Many regions of South America are worried that P.1 could quickly become the dominant variant, bringing Brazil’s humanitarian catastrophe – countless untreated patients, skyrocketing deaths – to the nation. their. Venezuelan infectious disease expert Julio Castro commented: “It’s spreading. Can’t stop it ”. A woman attending a family funeral dies of COVID-19 in Manaus, Brazil. Photo: AFP In Lima, scientists discovered that the strain originating in Brazil is responsible for 40% of the cases of COVID-19 here. In Uruguay, this rate is 30%. In Paraguay, health officials said half of all cases near the Brazilian border were infected with variant P.1. Other South American countries such as Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, and Chile all have detected P.1 in their territory. P.1’s genomic sequencing limitations prevent it from knowing how widely the virus actually spread. P.1 has been identified in over 20 countries, from Japan to the US. Hospital systems across South America are being pushed to the limit of overcrowding. Uruguay, one of the richest countries in South America and an early success in the pandemic, is at risk of failure of the health system. Meanwhile, health officials said Peru was on the verge of danger, with only 84 empty intensive care beds left by the end of March. The special care system in Paraguay has run out of beds. Ms. Elena Candia Florentín, President of the Paraguay Infectious Diseases Association, said that Paraguay has very little chance of stopping the spread of variant P.1. “With the health system collapsing, medicine is constantly running out, lack of early detection, lack of follow-up exposure, patients waiting in line for treatment, health workers not getting enough vaccines. as it is not clear when this vulnerable group will be vaccinated… the prospects in Paraguay are just dark, ”she explained. How P.1 spread throughout South America is an easy story. Nearly every country on the continent shares a land border with Brazil. People are concentrated in border towns, where traveling to another country can be as simple as crossing a street. The limited border surveillance measures have made the area a haven for smugglers. They also make it nearly impossible to control the spread of P.1. “We share 1,000 kilometers of terrestrial border with Brazil – the” manufacturing plant “of the largest variant in the world, said Gonzalo Moratorio, Uruguayan virologist who tracks the development of the P.1 variant. and is the epicenter of the crisis. And now P.1 doesn’t just appear in one country ”. Vaccine “thirst” The Brazilian city of Tabatinga deep in the Amazon rainforest, where officials suspect the virus has infiltrated from here into Colombia and Peru, is symbolic of the fight to stop this variant. The city of 70,000 people swept the P.1 virus earlier this year. Many people in Tabatinga have relatives living in neighboring countries so they are used to crossing the border by canoeing across the Amazon River to Peru or on foot to Colombia. “People carried the virus from one side of the river to the other,” said Sinesio Tikuna Trovão, a local leader. Crossing the river is no waste, just cross to the other bank to get to another country. The truck carrying 100,000 doses of the vaccine has just been sent to Luque, Paraguay. Photo: AFP Currently, P.1 has infiltrated many countries so its goal of stopping its spread will be very difficult. Most South American countries, with the exception of Brazil, applied strict controls last year. But efforts were wiped out by poverty, indifference and lack of trust. With battered national economies and rising poverty, public health experts worry that it will be difficult to sustain restrictions longer. In Brazil, despite record-high death tolls, many states are lifting restrictions. The deadlock and danger in South America has made vaccination the only way out. But this region still has limited access to the COVID-19 vaccine. The continent has not distributed vaccines domestically or has reached an agreement with pharmaceutical companies. According to the website Our World in Data, it is one of the most affected regions in the world but only provides 6% of the world’s vaccine dosage. Except for Chile, which is vaccinating people faster than anywhere in the Americas, but still suffers from an increase in the number of cases. “We should not just blame the policy of handling,” said Luis Felipe López-Calva, Regional Director of the United Nations Development Program for Latin America and the Caribbean. We need to understand the nature of the vaccine market. ” According to him, vaccines have become so scarce that national authorities have to impose control measures. It is almost impossible to know how much governments are paying for each dose of vaccine. Several regional blocs in other parts of the world, such as the African Union and the European Union, have negotiated joint contracts. But in South America, countries do not have a common voice, which reduces the bargaining power of each individual country. Mr. López-Calva said that the above situation is harmful to South American countries and also to fight against viruses around the world. Because, it is clear that no one is safe until everyone is protected. Paulo Buss, a famous Brazilian scientist, said the situation should not have been as bad as it is now. He is Brazil’s medical representative in the Union of South American Nations, repeatedly negotiating regional agreements with pharmaceutical companies before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this alliance was soon divided because of political differences. “It was the worst possible moment. Our negotiation efforts were fragmented. Multilateralism has been weakened,” Buss stressed.
