    I was assuming he was looking for Gold Chains - which I think you can buy on Libertad and Corrientes as well:

    Poll: Which will kill more Argentines: the COV-19 Virus or the Quarantine?

    Sounds frightening what this guy is stating . What is causing these extreme symptoms? From what I've read it has something to do with the Corona Virus attacking the red blood cells which are responsible for doing the conversion of oxygen to carbon dioxide or something to that effect. Malaria...

    Poll: Which will kill more Argentines: the COV-19 Virus or the Quarantine?

    This ICU doctor in NYC is saying that he's not seeing traditional pneumonia and that the ventilators might be doing more harm than good. Ventilators are for folks that are too weak and don't have muscle mass to breath on their own. The COV-19 patients have the muscle and strength to breath but...

    Poll: Which will kill more Argentines: the COV-19 Virus or the Quarantine?

    Part of the reason for the disturbing images of bodies piling up is because of the regulations involving burying pandemic victims, infectious diseases, etc (see article). We have the issue of notorious unreliable tests. Everyone that tests positive for COV-19 and dies is pronounced to have died...

    Outgoing flight available by way of Ethiopian Airlines for this Saturday April 11.

    I'd recommend checking out this site that models peak hospital utilization in locales in the USA and Europe. You don't want to go back at the peak obviously (For example going to NYC now is pure madness). I've been looking at the flights in May and June which are changing constantly. Yesterday...

    Your ‘strange’ crush on an Argentine could actually be a racist fetish

    To paraphrase the article: Is this the same as the Yanqui and Euro-gals who pick up suave tango men and strapping polo studs? https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/rishi-sunak-conservative-crush-vogue-white-women-flora-e-gill-a9456036.html

    Overstaying 90-day limit

    I've paid the overstay fee dating back to when it was only 300 pesos. And all the times I paid it, it was a set amount regardless of the number of days you over stay.

    Best Sites for Tracking Argentina COV-19 Statistics

    This site is used to project peak hospital resource utilization. Unfortunately it is only the US and Europe. But if you are planning to go back to Europe or the US then you might want to refer to this and plan to go back only AFTER peak utilization occurs. Obviously this data will be more...

    I ordered from this Dietetica in Palermo/Recoleta. I had to wait 3 days for the order. The order was delivered this morning without issue. Very happy with the experience. https://biomarket.com.ar/

    Poll: Which will kill more Argentines: the COV-19 Virus or the Quarantine?

    ‘Universal stay-at-home is the most devastating economic force in modern history And it is man-made. It very suddenly reverses the gains of underprivileged groups, kills and creates drug addicts, beats and terrorizes women and children in violent now-jobless households, and more. It bleeds deep...

    Poll: Which will kill more Argentines: the COV-19 Virus or the Quarantine?

    If someone tests positive for COV-19 (a test which is notoriously inaccurate), a lot of localities are designating the death as COV-19 regardless of how they died: pneumonia, heart attack, regular flu, cancer, etc. Also watch for the number of these types of deaths to be lower than in a normal year.

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    This is very good news. An antibody test reveals if you've already had COV-19. This would allow health care workers to not have to don all the protective gear. And once it's widely available it will be a great piece of mind knowing you've already had it and you can go out freely...

    Argentina Sacrifices Economy to Ward Off Virus

    Bernie has three houses. One he calls a "summer camp". I've written him numerous times asking if he might give me one of his houses since I own NONE. I've been told he's a "true believer" in socialism. But amazingly no reply although I am still hopeful. BTW the "summer camp" is appraised at...

    Corona Virus May Hit Argentina Hard

    The theory that COV-19 slows down in hot humid conditions is being rested in Guayaquil and Chaco. I had been planning to go to Vilcabama in June via Guayaquil to escape the Baires winter ... dodged a bullet there ... Now I'm planning to return to the US in June hoping this would be seasonal...

    This isn't groceries, but I topped up my Movistar prepaid account online. It accepted a US credit card without issue. Do Rappi, Coto, etc accept US credit cards?

    Apocalytic scenes in Argentinian banks

    So we need to protect the old folks from the Corona Virus but they're out on the street for hours - even days according to some reports. While the working folks that need to be out working to keep the economy afloat are sitting at home. How long before desperate people start following those...
