The real story is that ‘developing’ nations have done remarkably better at fighting COVID-19 than the rich and white. The real story starts precisely where the western map ends. Here be dragons. We be dragons.
The real story is that places like Vietnam and Mongolia have completely kicked COVID-19’s ass. The real story is that places like Rwanda and Ghana have innovated and survived. There are countless stories like this — from Sri Lanka to Trinidad & Tobago, but you wouldn’t know because we’re not rich or white. But you should know. Because we’re right. This information could save your life.

(But please keep posting about a vaccine, eating like normal, and relying on your institutions to save you. It'll all work out for you I'm sure.)

Jakob Taube verlas in Kannawurf (13.9.2020) einen grad erhaltenen Brief Galsan Tschinags aus der Mongolei, in der der Schriftsteller* sich geradezu ausgelassen spöttisch-ironisch über den Unterschied zu Deutschland in sachen Covid-19 äußerte. Sehr erfrischend. Oh ja, dort weiß man sehr wohl, wo man steht! 😃
