Abstract

Myanmar has since June been hit by the worst COVID-19 wave in Southeast Asia. And the reason is predominantly political. The military coup on February 1st has shattered society, broken the healthcare system, and by and large left people to help themselves at high risks. The military hoards both medicine and oxygen for themselves and persecutes healthcare personnel.
