Smaller villages are fine as long as you are healthy. But what about if, in spite of your preparations, you do get the virus?
The way I´m living now, if I do get the virus after the the first of April, it may be the first case of "Immaculate Infection" in medical history.
There is a neighborhood clinic just over one meter from my house and the nearest pharmacy is two blocks closer to me than the clinic. The nearest hospìtal is about a ten minute drive from there.
If I do get the virus (which I obviously think is highly unlikley to happen soon), I will self medicate with Polirreumin and antibiotics (to prevent any concomitant infections). I can, at the least, hope for a mild case of the virus which should leave me with sufficient immunity to reinfection. I will begin to self medicate as soon as anyone I know or have been near in less than two weeks is diagnosed positive (a time frame which is about to end).
have the ultimate hideout place in the countryside, with the nearest neighbor two miles away. But the ciudad de furia (love that!) has better hospitals, so I've choosen to ride the virus here.
My nearest neighbors are two hundred meters away, close enough to hear my alarm if I ever hit the panic button (literally), but not close enough to infect me with anything.
from that, for those with a large network of relatives and lifelong friends, being close to them trumps it all. I haven't stepped out in over two weeks - someone always does my shopping and drops it in the front yard, bless their generous hearts...!
I don´t need to go shopping agian for several months. The two neighbors behind me have chickens and hogs in relatively small numbers. The one in front of me has hundreds of chickens (for semi-comercial egg production). I have a good stash of mate to trade for eggs and chirizo if necesssary.
, I can see how Steve and Perry's option can be great for individuals without family or close ties.
Even though we aren´t in Capital Federal, I beleive Perry and I have quite different living situations at this time. Based on his posts, I beleive Perry left Capital Federal about two weeks ago. I can´t be absolutely certain, but my guess he is renting a place to live in a small town. I have no idea if (or how well) he knew anyone there prior to his arrival and I don´t know how welcoming they have been.
I arrived at my present location almost ten years ago and have close friends in the nearby village (actually a barrio) and in the city of Punta Alta, including a woman who is a member of the Policia Federal.
Here's hoping you keep safe and well....!
Thanks, and I wish the same to you and all members of this site, whereever they are, especially if they continue to pay their rent (as well as their electric, gas, water, internet, and cable bills) on time, even if there is a freeze in place for six months.
