RADIO - CHIN 91.9 FM Spanish - Toronto, 09/06/2020 - TALK SHOW, Spanish Image Source: https://www.chinradio.com/spanish Summary Description: Fabian Merlo - There is sad news out of Windsor because a young 24-year-old Mexican temporary migrant worker has died. According to radio host Fabian Merlo, there are still some myths surrounding the coronavirus, namely that young people can't get it. Syed Hussan from the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change said that this wasn't an unavoidable tragedy, adding that it's a direct result of provincial and federal immigration laws. Fabian Merlo hopes that there will be a change and that the authorities and media pay attention to this. Rogelio Muñoz Santos, who died on Friday, was diagnosed with COVID-19 just over a month ago. He left the hospital and continued having a lot of complications. They carried out a lot of tests but unfortunately nothing could be done and he died at a hospital in Windsor. Fabian Merlo wonders if his death was preventable. In a recent interview, a representative from the United Food and Commercial Workers union said a call was received about a month ago from workers at Woodside Greenhouses who said they were worried because they didn't have information or adequate equipment to protect themselves against the coronavirus. There are accusations of low pay, overcrowding, inadequate housing, and abuse, according to Fabian Merlo, who hopes that this worker's death will be a breaking point. However, he pointed out that that this worker's death has not made a major headline or impact in the media.
