Drivers leaned on their horns, men with guns got out and walked. Signs warned of revolt. Someone waved an upside-down American flag.

Venezuelans continue to flee their country due to the crisis. The much-ballyhooed phrase Nicholas Maduro that "Venezuela has already been fixed" has not finished convincing them because now even the poorest are looking to emigrate, which has increased the number of the diaspora to 6.81 million people, according to the UN.
