Face to face

After the fifth comes the sixth. Specialists say that the fifth wave of Covid-19 in Bolivia will last three more months and that, due to the new variants and the low percentage of vaccinated with the complete three-dose schedule, the new wave would arrive at the end of the year. The lack of awareness and the disregard of the recommendations of health professionals, doctors and health personnel to maintain biosafety protocols have defeated logic, rationality and coherence. The new onslaught of the coronavirus with new highly contagious subvariants, which are already wreaking havoc in other parts of the world, would affect two very vulnerable groups: pregnant women and children under 4 years of age who do not have authorization for the anticovid vaccine. In order to prevent the undesirable, other types of measures will have to be taken to achieve a good percentage of vaccinated that exceeds at least 80% throughout the national territory.

We played like never before and lost like always. Once again football becomes a ball against. A new defeat for the Bolivian team in the Copa América Femenina in Colombia. This time against Paraguay 0-2 and previously Colombia (0-3) and first Ecuador (1-6). On Sunday Bolivia will bid farewell to the tournament against Chile. Last in the group with 11 goals against and 1 for, the “green” sold their international participation dearly. A quota for the 2023 Pan American Games is also lost. No clean slate, but to get to work from now on to achieve goals in a competition that demands much more than the national leadership believes.
