The coronavirus pandemic has put nearly 14 million people in the Caribbean and Latin America at risk of missing meals, according to a report released Wednesday from the U.N.'s World Food Programme.
The virus has spread quickly in the region in recent weeks, with Latin America surpassing Europe and the United States in its daily numbers of new coronavirus cases reported.
The Americas have become the "epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic," the Pan American Health Organization said earlier this week.

I suspect Venezuela is a real basket case now.
