can\u2019t recover from\ndeath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With only 5,611 cases and 293 deaths so far, against\nBrazil\u2019s nearly 136,000 cases and over 9,100 deaths, even diehard Bolsonaro\nsupporters are now looking towards their southern neighbour with an envious\neye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mayor of the crisis-stricken Brazilian city of Manaus,\nArthur Virg\u00edlio, looked on in horror as Fern\u00e1ndez and his deputy swept into\npower in December. \u201c[They represent] everything that we deplore so much in the\nworld today,\u201d the 74-year-old rightwinger told the Guardian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, Virg\u00edlio is looking towards Argentina in admiration.\n\u201cResults are results,\u201d the mayor said, praising Fern\u00e1ndez for taking \u201cthe only\nwise choice any country can take \u2026 which is determined social isolation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fifty days into its tight lockdown, Argentina feels\nconfident enough to start relaxing social distancing rules. \u201cWe have slowed the\nduplication period of cases to 28 days,\u201d the presidential cabinet chief,\nSantiago Cafiero, told the Guardian. \u201cWe\u2019ve managed to flatten the curve,\nunlike other countries that didn\u2019t lock down in time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Friday, Fern\u00e1ndez announced the relaxation of lockdown\nmeasures in most of Argentina except the densely populated Buenos Aires\nmetropolitan area, where 86% of cases of cases are concentrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the rest of the country, a number of industrial and\ncommercial activities will be reopened but public transport will only be\navailable for essential workers and firms will have to provide private\ntransport for their own employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe duplication period is much faster in the city of Buenos\nAires: only 18.8 days,\u201d admitted Cafiero \u2013 compared to an average of 25.1 days\nin the rest of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rate of spread is even higher in the city\u2019s large\n\u201cvillas\u201d or slums, where it is estimated more than 250,000 people live. The\nworst affected is Villa 31 where some 45,000 people inhabit makeshift homes\nwith deficient water services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cases there jumped from just a handful to 219 when the\n\u201cvilla\u201d was left without water for some 10 days by a water plant failure that\nwas only resolved in recent days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat\u2019s happening in Villa 31 is a tragedy,\u201d said Ofelia\nFern\u00e1ndez, (no relation of the president), the city\u2019s youngest legislator at 20\nyears old. \u201cWhen a whole family is crammed in a single room, no amount of\nhand-washing will slow the spread. There\u2019s no way to foresee a happy ending for\nVilla 31.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All commercial activity, with the exception of grocery\nstores, pharmacies and supermarkets, has been frozen since 20 March, but the\ncity could see a gradual relaxation of the lockdown starting Monday, when\nArgentina will enter a new phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fern\u00e1ndez is expected to announce the resumption of\nactivities for some industries such as motor car and clothing factories\nstarting Monday. But bars and restaurants will remain closed, except for\ndeliveries and takeaways, as will schools, universities and entertainment\nvenues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tight coordination between the central government,\ngovernors and mayors in Argentina over lockdown measures stands in sharp\ncontrast to the battles and confrontations in Brazil where Bolsonaro sacked his\nhealth minister and clashed with regional governors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"1427\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/10\/you-cant-recover-from-death-argentinas-covid-19-response-has-been-the-opposite-of-brazils\/brazil-health-virus-bolsonaro\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/GettyImages-1209293938.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;AFP via Getty Images&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro talks to supporters as he leaves Alvorada Palace in Brasilia, Brazil on April 6, 2020. - President Jair Bolsonaro&#039;s disapproval rating has surged as the far-right leader has taken a vocal stance against coronavirus containment measures, two polls out last Friday found.

Bolsonaro instead is an independent with no party to fall back on.\nArgentina\u2019s governors are also dependent on the fiscal largesse of the federal\ngovernment, so they fell in line quickly with the nationwide lockdown,\u201d said\nMalamud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Argentina still faces many challenges, chiefly economic:\ninflation is still around a yearly 50% and the renegotiation of the country\u2019s\nsizable foreign debt is a race against the clock, with the possibility of a\ntechnical default soon if a current round of negotiations are not successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the country\u2019s finances obviously on his mind, Fern\u00e1ndez\non Thursday tweeted a picture of himself confirming via teleconference a $1.8bn\nloan from the Inter-American Development Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now at least, the president has said he plans to keep\nprioritizing saving lives over reviving the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019d rather a factory was empty because its workers are in\nquarantine, and not because they\u2019re ill or dead,\u201d Fern\u00e1ndez said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Argentina closed swiftly, while Brazil downplayed the crisis.
