I arrived at EZE on Sunday am. There was doctor there looking at people and containers. I had brought some dog crates, he only asked me about if I had dogs. I had empty containers.

really...en serio?

 

[criswkh]

body temperatures at EZE...Wow, but we can't get a good bus pass for the city.

That's what they are reporting on the news. Airport workers in Ezeiza are wearing face masks also. As I understand it, these masks are effective in preventing an infected person transmitting airborne particles but really confer little protection from inhaling airborne particles on the wearer.

this in from the US embassy:Warden Message: H1N1 Influenza


April 29, 2009


This warden message is being issued to alert U.S. citizens residing and
traveling in Argentina that to date the government of Argentina is not
reporting any confirmed cases of H1N1 Influenza (commonly called swine
flu). However as a precaution, authorities in Argentina have
temporarily suspended flights to Argentina which originate in Mexico,
the country where most cases have been reported. Seven suspected cases
are under review. More information on H1N1 Influenza in Argentina may
be obtained from the Argentine Ministry of Health website at

The U.S. Embassy will continue to monitor this situation and will issue
updated messages. For further information about H1N1 Influenza, please

I know that Argentina has already banned flights from Mexico due to the swine flu. But does anyone know if the same is happening with the US? My husband and I thought we understood that on the radio just now but with limited Spanish, we're not sure if we heard correctly.

Sorry to cause any alarm if this is not true - just want to know if anyone can comfirm

As Mexico announces 19 confirmed deaths, I can confirm that on average 75 people per year die from falling coconuts.
People be very scared of coconuts, this is the next pandemic!!
