    National quarantine tomorrow very likely

    More information is starting to come out about classes of people / jobs that have an exemption from the lockdown: "Personas que presten servicios en Salud, Seguridad, Defensa, Migraciones, Bomberos, autoridades superiores del estado, Justicia (mínimo), diplomáticos. Además podrán desplazarse...

    National quarantine tomorrow very likely

    Well said, I'd add that the government needs a plan for the workforce, a large amount of people can't just home work, that's fine for office workers, not for people in the trades and any number of other, often 'en negro' off the grid jobs. If this isn't addressed very fast, I fear that a...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    " Según detallaron a LA NACION , esto significa que nadie puede moverse de su casa. Durante ese periodo, solo se podrá salir a las farmacias y para comprar comidas cerca de la casa. Serán acusadas de delito contra la salud pública aquellas personas que sean interceptadas fuera de sus casas sin...

    Surface to surface virus transmission

    According to the WHO, the main method of transmission is through infected droplets. So almost certainly the answer to your question is yes. For example, infected subject A sneezes on a book and puts that book away on a library shelf. Subject b picks up the adjacent book. If the droplet has...

    Western Union money transfer

    Nb: correo argentino, at least the one near me, is letting in 65+ people only, between 0900-1300. And then anyone else between 1400-1900. Also only one in at a time. Fyi

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    Speaking of Darwin awards; despite the WHO having said for weeks that covid can be aerosolised with high pressure equipment in hospitals specifically, I see the local police Dept spraying down the outside of the station with pressure washers, no soap or bleach, just high pressure water...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    I'm amazed that this author, an epidimiologist from Stanford , makes this argument. It is certainly not at all the WHO or consensus scientific view. Also, the majority of his argument is based on extrapolating mortality rates from.a.tiny sample size ,and far more importantly, on a closed.cruise...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    Actually Argentina are also in the WHO trials, I recommend watching that YouTube update from today, about half way through roughly they speak specifically about the trials, drugs, and the newspaper reports prematurely claiming success. I know your not trying to hype etc , and I agree with a...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    Probably because Thailand is one of the countries partnered with the WHO for the 'solidarity covid trials' which were announced earlier by the WHO (see their daily YouTube update). There will be 6 different pharmas tested across various countries. Favipiravir is one of them. The WHO in their...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    Looks like a 'total quarantine' is being actively considered. https://m.ambito.com/politica/gobierno/el-gobierno-ya-analiza-cuarentena-total-si-se-agrava-la-expansion-del-coronavirus-n5089649

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    Indeed. Also, for those who are serious about the idea of a degree of food self sufficiency, it's important to plan which species produce which fruit/veg's/berries at which time of year. That way you can get cover year round, instead of big concentrated harvests which require canning...

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    So because there is no way to totally isolate, we shouldn't minimize the high risk vector contexts? You can't avoid buying food, unless as you say, you grown some of your own (which actually isn't as hard as many would think). You can avoid people (cambistas) or places (cuevas , wu) which...

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    Yes they do, to 20-100 different people a day. Do you think they use WHO recommended procedures? Still sounds like roulette if you ask me. But everyone can evaluate the risk as they see fit. Have at it. Cheers!

    Where's a Good Small Town to Ride Out the Storm?

    For those that are in a high risk group and are thinking of going to a crowded Western Union, or cueva, to get the best rates, instead of paying online using card at the official rate. I urge you to reconsider, pay a bit more for a while and be safe guys. Right now is the time to lay low and...
