International COVID-19 Megathread

Argentina is preparing to relax the quarantine in  1 week. Classes won't start again until june, but people under 65 will probably be allowed to more or less go on with their lives and go to work (probably only some other sectors of the economy that aren't currently an exception, but detail aren't that clear right now). Of course, in a week it can all change, who knows. I'm guessing that since the peak is expected in mid may, we are going to have another general lockdown sometime next month.

Today is basically a month since our first case and we are standing right now at 1451 cases and 43 deaths

I got my first dose of the vaccine today. It's Sinopharm. Second dose should happen in 3 months or so.

Whole thing took me like 20-25 minutes since I entered the vaccination station (in this case the theater San Martin, 6 blocks away from home). Now I'll wait patiently for side-effects if any.

I'm also announcing that I'll vote for Fernandez in november. Viva Perón and 习近平万岁

For now ay least, My plans to travel to Italy in january are still on. Does any italian know what are the prospects for entry there in the short term? I have an italian passport by the way Unless there is an outright travel ban or something, I'm still going.

Ok, thanks, let's wait an see I guess, no harm for now. Funny that a country, that had for at least the past few months, like 6 times the amount of cases and like 3 or 4 times the amount of deaths that my country, makes me quarantine. Oh well.
