The COVID-19 pandemic in Latin America and Caribbean countries (LACs) has failed to capture the attention and attract the resources necessary to control it. The wrenching choice between public health and economic welfare that has polarised political debate in the USA and Europe is starker in LACs, where older people and people with dementia are especially susceptible. We want to raise awareness about this grave situation.
