Personal report on Covid in Argentina > In Argentina we are in cuarenteen curfew since last month, and very few > working activities are allowed for transit. Schools have been shut down, as > well as shoppings and religious mass of any kind. General population can only > go out of their homes to buy groceries at nearby shops. Similar measures have > been taken later by our neighbouring countries. Most of the population abides > by the rules, with two flagrant exceptions: some (not all) of the upper > economic level who think are also above the virus level and try to drive > every weekend to their properties in the countryside, and those on the lowest > eonomic level who cannot stay at home, either because the don't have savings > and need to work, or because they don't have a home apt to stay in. > However, I agree that worse is still to come during winter, both because of > the cold season usually begets flues and similar breathing sicknesses, and > because our economies cannot stand so much time in stand-by. Every couple of > weeks new jobs are authorize to restart, so I believe winter will find us > with at least half the population outdoors again. > On a side note, I'm not trusting the official numbers of infected patients, > nor of deads by the coronavirus.
