[CT-NFB] Latest episode of Blind Abilities

[Gary Allen]

In this ongoing  series from Blind Abilities, we have heard from blind
 citizens Around the world about how they have experienced and adapted to
COVID-19. from Australia and Malaysia, to the united kingdom, and more.

our guest on Episode 21 is Gerardo Corripio who comes to us from Mexico.
Gerardo, Gera, immediately points out how important it is to first
understand an overview of the political and geographic make up of his
country. Mexico is comprised of 32 states, 10 of which are controlled by
one of Mexico’s political parties, PAN which stands for Partido de  Acción
Nacional, or the National Action party, and the others which are controlled
by the Morena party, of which Mexico’s President Obrador is the party
leader.

Gera lives in the city of Tampico, located, in the state of Tamaulipas,
which falls under the PAN party.

In general, the PAN takes a more serious approach to dealing with the
Corona virus than the Morena party. As we will hear, this lack of a
coordinated approach towards fighting the virus  causes a significantly
different Covid-19 experience in those states than in the others, and has
brought considerable criticism to Mexico’s President for his inadequate
response to the pandemic..

Listen as Gera describes the government’s plan involving a color scheme
approach to the severity levels of the virus, and how it affects Mexican
citizens and the BVI community. Learn about the specific restrictions in
Mexico, some of which are similar to ones we have seen elsewhere in this
series, but some of which are new and different. How is travel affected,
shopping, transportation, trips to the mall, and other activities so
customary to Gera’s daily routine? Listen as our articulate and descriptive
guest fills us in on all of the details.

Finally, learn as we hear how Gera’s account of his lifestyle amidst the
pandemic, which seems to be relatively tolerable, contrasts with the
overall conditions in Mexico, which remains among the most severely
affected countries in terms of the highest statistical infection and death
rates in the world.

Be sure to tune in to this and other informative episodes to hear how your
BVI counterparts around the world are coping with and adapting to cOVID-19.
