Dear TAngo L Members:
RE: questions on the swine flu epidemic, in BA.
As I understand it, they are requiring visitors to sometimes wear a mask in
Ezeiza and be willing to have their temp. checked, for fever, before entering
the country.
Also, in the last two days, la practica, "Me Rio del Plata", on Mondays and
DNI, as well as a few other classes have suspended their schedules until
further notice.
Other than that.........we don't know exactly how many cases there are here as
no one seems to trust the government figures. If they are indeed true, then, I
would say the danger of getting sick, with flu type A are not too bad, right
now. Vamos aver.
Suffice it to say.......if you are coming down, be sure to bring plenty of
Purell, (as the local stores have run out and will continue to, for awhile);
any flu medications you have from home that you like, (as they are also in
short supply) and be prepared to wait in a ridiculous line, if you happen to
get really sick as the hospitals are overflowing, at the moment. House calls
are best, if you can get some doctor to do that, for you. Also, try to get on
the FB sites or internet with your favorite milongas to get the updated
cancellations, etc. before you take that expensive taxi ride there only to be
turned away. They seem to be changing, daily. Even tho the present flu shots
supposedly don't work on this swine flu, it's probably not a bad idea to get
one, just in case. Lastly......and I know this is the most
difficult........try to get enough rest and not drive yourself to hard, with
the usual "tango tourist" pace, if possible, as a strong
immune system is the best defense, right? Right.
There are still plenty of milongas out there to enjoy, among many other BA
entertainments........just try to use some common sense and you should be fine.
Take care and keep dancing.
Saludos, tangueros!! D.B.
