Conversation with Peruvian journalist and cultural critic Matheus Calderón who currently works at the Comité de Lecture about the causes and effects of higher number of cases of Coronavirus in Peru. We try to understand that role inequality play in the propagation of COVID-19. We try to understand how this pandemic is challenging the economic narrative about Peru. The role that corruption plays in this crisis and limited political response to this complex moment. Also we deal with the particular dimension of how the pandemic has affected some regions more than others.
