Nicaragua --- In 2020 I was living in Nicaragua. The government there decided to ban COVID-19 as absurd as it may seem. The authorities report few infections just because they do not perform tests. In the vast majority of deaths the cause is reported to be "atypical pneumonia" or other diseases. Many doctors have been fired for departing from the official narrative or simply for diagnosing COVID-19 without political authorization. The main strategy at the beginning of the pandemic was to call a mass demonstration of the official party with the title "Love against the coronavirus." Access to PCR tests is still very limited and vaccination is used as a political weapon.
