Regarding the COVID in Bolivia, the third wave is about to end.
The last cases per 7 days in Bolivia were around 1500 - here is the infographic of 07/07: https://twitter.com/LosTiemposBol/status/1412963305224814596?s=20
In Cochabamba there are not so many time restrictions and there are no more problems of trafficability between departments. Today was defined (through the COED) the new norms for the department of CBBA: https://twitter.com/LosTiemposBol/status/1413109693527072771
Vaccinations: as of 07/07, 2,204,299 people have been vaccinated with the 1st dose and 769,737 with the 2nd dose. This weekend many vaccinations are expected (from Russia, China and through COVAX) and also any person over 18 years old can be vaccinated : https://www.lostiempos.com/actualidad/pais/20210701/mayores-18-ya-pueden-vacunarse-llegan-6-millones-dosis-mas
Now as for Micani and its communities: Not many people get vaccinated there, because there is still the thought that it does not "exist" and there were also rumors that it can turn you into a "werewolf"... https://www.paginasiete.bo/miradas/2021/6/22/no-los-vacunados-no-se-convierten-en-hombres-lobo-como-aseguran-en-bolivia-298949.html
Also if a person gets infected with COVID, the mentality is that "better to die in family, than alone in the hospital". Also the locals cure themselves or self-medicate with plants and natural ancestral remedies".
