abstract:
The Nicaraguan government's response to the coronavirus pandemic has been nothing short of absurd. Rather than implementing measures advised by the public health experts, the government has been organizing mass gatherings and hiding the scale of infection. This essay argues that current governmental behavior is both consistent with and a continuation of the crimes against humanity committed in 2018 and 2019.
