Sensible,
four nations working together.
Mercosur PLUS CAN would have been better, though - you know - Unasur.

Its almost like the old colonial & post-colonial days in Africa, controlling first Malaria and then Rindepest.
One L, one W, no score-draw.

When countries work together lots of things are possible, but with diseases that respect no national borders, co-operative vigilance is a 'forever ' thing.

Perhaps disease control is THE THING that will glue South America together.
