I of course changed at 209 just an hour before the rate changed......

Oh - I forgot to answer - my only passport is American.

An Argentine Passport is also American.....

GBP is 215 on Western Union
100.4 at the bank

Just the British passport and an Arg DNI which is more than sufficient.
Same here
But the boss has two Arg and Spanish
And Junior has three , UK , ARG and Spanish.

I will forecast NO PESO DEVALUATION today
Tomorrow , I am not so sure.
-
In simplistic terms can someone explain to me why it happens at such a fast rate?
And in practical terms what devaluation actually mean to the currency and those that earn in pesos.
the next time you have a spare year or better two years , give me a shout and I will give you the quick explanation

GBP is at 206/207 in Western Union today.....
If you go the bank , they will give you 99.9

Thanks, GlasgowJohn .
I’m having trouble with the bar graph on the top right. No data available until August?
the guy started to follow this when he discovered that deaths and cases were being reported qith some delays to the actual date .
He only started the data analysis in August.
-
Ok when will it happen this week or next week......?

Nothing to beat "kicked the bucket"

Should Vidal be the opposition leader ? I think she is bright but since she lost the last election in BsAs province , she has also taken a back seat.
Larreta? Not convinced he is charismatic enough to do the job . An efficient administrator maybe but thats it.

This is one of the best pages for stats in Argentina

Remember when this was all taking off and the coverage of Italy. It was as if the country was falling apart, images of hospitals like warzones, etc. I am not sure if that early coverage was over the top and Italy has bounced back fine, or whether the country was unique in that it was hit hard and fast.
Regarding why Italy gained so much attention (just weeks later the UK was beating Italy's numbers), I think it was when COVID was dominating the news cycle. It just seems the media has mostly moved on on a global level. However, I do find it interesting that in Argentina there is very little "front-line" coverage of what's going on. Are the hospitals overflowing, is the health system buckling? I don't know because the news does not report on the front line of the virus. Strange.
Last week , it was time for my annual check up with the urologist.
You know the one guys , the test we just love every year ! I have the big plan in the Hospital Aleman and my guys nurse is a pretty 30 year old lassie . I can live and dream.....
Anyway , I called to see if they were doing presential(?) appointments or video-conferences.
I was surprised to hear it was presential but in one of the places the Aleman has close to the hospital for their senior people.
Arrived on time , no one in the waiting area and he started the examination . He decided that we should do a few ecographs of kidneys , , bladder and other parts of the male anatomy and some blood work. He said do them now as there are very few people in the Hospital . Sure enough , the hospital was empty - in the area where the do xrays and imagery work , I would expect to be there for between 60-90 minutes depending on the day . I was attended to and out the door in 15 minutes ....
I got the blood work done in ten minutes.
On this experience , the normal hospital is much quieter than usual
A friend went to A&E the other day and said it wasn't too busy
it could also be that people are afraid to go to the hospital

Yip the figures in Argentina are bad and getting worse
Slight improvements in the Capital and the BA Conurbation - but if it was under control the figures should be falling more rapidly.
We are now number 7 in the list of most cases and it looks like we will be number 5 the end of next week.
But when you are out in the street , things seem normal.
There is something very strange and I can put my finger on it.
