I posted the article in order to have reference to the photo. It blew my mind to see such a small crowded piece of realestate

“The COVID-19 crisis has been difficult for Maldivians, resulting in widespread health and socioeconomic challenges.”

The Maldives has a population of 380,000 with 29,000 COVID cases and only 72 deaths. Which equates to 7% of the population contracted COVID with a 0.24% fatality rate. That’s less than the common cold.

So how was this a crises and what was the challenge?

I wonder, are their people in the Maldives that have a revulsion to the word, “equity”? How about other countries around the world? “Equity” has become one of those hi-jacked words of Marxists, which is rather ironic given it meaning in capitalism and finance. These leftists cancel, destroy, and distort to the point that nothing has meaning, including life.

That is a great photo. I mostly know the Maldives from tourist shots of unspoilt tropical beaches. I had no idea what their capital looks like.

It looks like SimCity when you try to crowd as much as possible onto a small map.

The global warming alarmists always mention this place as candidate of being erased. They have only 9 years left!
