Lockdown: Tales from Panama and Brazil
People across the world broadcast their experience of the coronavirus pandemic.
There is a sense of fatigue around the lockdown. Ray Gillenwater owns a gym, and explains that if he’s ordered to close down again – he will civilly resist. Kody Siegal explains how the tight restrictions of Panama are not quite as tough as you would expect, and Luiza Marchiori from Florianopolis returns to explain how the worst case scenario predicted by many in Brazil appears to be coming true.
By emailing a voice memo recorded on their smartphones listeners from different countries offer their unique perspectives on a global crisis, and a glimpse of not just their own lives in lockdown, but how their country is tackling this unprecedented challenge.
