COVID-19 AFRICA, HAITI, AND THE U. S. VIRGIN ISLANDS

In his travels, Dr. Hugues Fidele Batsielilit, has worked with health clinics and public health programs in professional capacities observing the intersectionality of the human condition, government, technology, politics, and disease. His observations have provided first-hand knowledge of how healthcare systems and health outcomes are impacted when proper consideration is not given to the needs of citizens and governments do not prioritize health. He has witnessed the effects and impacts of poverty and unjust economic strategies upon the health of unsuspecting populations. COVID-19 shone a bright light on the inequities within economic structures, health, and overall life in general existing in many countries. Batsielilit follows that light, exploring how politics, myth, rumor, and superstition coalesce with poor health infrastructure allowing death and disease to flourish.
