Argentina has over a million virus cases despite a record quarantine
At the extreme end of Argentina in a city known as “The End of the World,” many thought they might be spared from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. Sitting far from Buenos Aires, health workers in Ushuaia were initially able to contain a small outbreak among foreigners hoping to catch boats to the Antarctic at the start of the crisis.

Oct 20th, 2020 - 08:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0.Wore mask well: 63%
Wore a mask badly 20%
Wore a mask with nose uncovered: 12%
Did not wear a mask 5%
37% of the people did not have proper protection!
From what I have read, somewhere around 3% will get Covid 19. That is enough to practically guarantee that Covid cannot be stamped out. .
This is what happens when your culture is Viveza Criolla.

Until then you can only slow it down so your hospitals are not overwhelmed.
Masks make very little difference outside and none inside if not used properly.
We are just going to have to learn to live with it, until a vaccine or cure.

Oct 21st, 2020 - 08:36 pm - Link - Report abuse +1I'm back at the farm — enjoying an early-afternoon-tea of cold lamb sandwiches with fresh with icecold Austral beer. The farm vegetable garden has been finally planted — as well the one in Chicureo. (Lots of some really good seed varieties along with our family favorites.)
The weather is fantastic and the vineyards have beautifully graced our Aconcagua Valley with emerald green while the fruit trees are shedding their delicate blooms.
I have been personally convinced that the Swedes have managed the Pandemic best. (Yes, they made a few errors in the onset — until adapting to the unknown virus.)
We already have the Russian vaccine available to the public and there are hundreds of Chileans in test trials of the new vaccines that should be approved before the end of December. The latest statistics show that long term lockdowns are insane.
Meanwhile, while most the world has adopted an oppressive '1984' Orwellian ineffective mask hysteria — the immensely prudent and logical Swedish people go about their normal lives.
Wash your hands with soap and kiss only the ones you love. Obviously, if you're running a high temperature, etc... — you should isolate. Use common sense — not like the idiots I observe driving their cars alone wearing a facemask...
As of today, Chile has had almost a half million confirmed cases and 13,719 deaths in an approximate population of 19 million. The vast number of casualties have occurred to the very old and/or those with other health issues.
Shutting down schools and public commerce has caused irreparable harm and the overwhelming long term after effects will prove most the “civilized world” lost their sanity during this nightmare year of 2020.
¡Saludos!
The longest quarantine in the world, causing the worst economic recession ever recorded in the history of Argentina (almost -20% of GDP), increasing poverty to 47% of the population to reach one million infected (official) and more than 25,000 deceased. In other words, among the most affected countries in the world.

Hmm, so that's how they got rid of the Spanish Flu, I never knew that.

I think those who along with their infected family, are the last people who should be dispensing medical advise.
Argentina economy recover because of people talent and skills and invest. Argentine is like european country with same but better
Oct 23rd, 2020 - 12:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0El Diego, Argentina never recovers, you have been in an overall decline for decades, with small periods of recovery wiped out over and over again by constant defaults and recession. Argentina is nothing like a European nation and literally no one wants to invest in your rotten country, in fact businesses are actively leaving because of the Peronists. You are the people of Viveza Criolla, unskilled, dishonest and sneaky. You cannot accept any responsibility or follow any rules. You will forever be in a financial mess

El Diego, Argentina has won the World Cup 2 times, not 3. You are a 3rd world nation, not 1st world. The UK doesn't have a football team. Plenty of people in the UK speak Spanish.
Oct 23rd, 2020 - 05:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your culture is Viveza Criolla. You are nothing but greasy thieves and liars. You are a dishonest and nasty people, not respected by any other nation. Argentina is the deadbeat of the world and you will forever be deadbeats.

El Diego, Argentina is not a 1st world country and is not business friendly, no one wants to invest in Argentina and businesses are leaving.
Oct 23rd, 2020 - 07:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is financially and economically unstable and has been for decades and always will be.
You are the people of Viveza Criolla. In Argentina its celebrated to cheat, lie and steal. This is why you will never improve or grow.
No one goes to Argentina for culture, because your culture is Viveza Criolla.
