Back home in Argentina, Buenos Aires is going through a health emergency. People should not go to hospitals unless they have the swine flu symptoms, they should not hug, kiss or shake hands. They should wear masks at all times. All entertainment places for kids are shut down as well as tourist ones. Everyone should stay home indoors and not risk the possibility of getting the flu. Classes at schools have also being suspended after several kids (toddlers) have died due to the flu.

Rather off topic, but... Asking Argentines not to kiss or hug is very hard. Specially during this week called the "sweetness week" where people exchange candies or chocolates for a kiss.
