Virus problems in Chile

[fulogas1]

Taking a look at other countries that have lithium resources and looking at Chile.. in the Lithium triangle.. I see political unrest, demonstrations, and their virus numbers climbing..

Chile, which accounts for more than a quarter of global supply, is battling to maintain output levels as more workers fall ill amid a nationwide surge of infections.
 

Mines have been attempting to keep their workers safe without forgoing too much output by postponing non-essential activities such as maintenance and construction work. Fewer workers on site mean less risk of infection.
 

But cases keep rising, and unions and local politicians are calling for tighter restrictions. With Chilean supply risk growing at a time of recovering Chinese demand, prices have all but wiped out losses for the year as the market tightens and some analysts predict an annual deficit.

At Codelco, for example, 2,843 workers have been diagnosed with the disease as of July 5, according to data compiled by the Federation of Copper Workers union.
