Swine Flu: A little perspective

My best pal in Argentina wrote today and told me his wife's pregnant with their second child. This is great and I'm really happy for them, but he then told me how worried they are about the swine flu outbreak down there, what with pregnancy being a vulnerable moment for two souls, not just one. Then I saw this report today and wow!, look at the coverage all those pro-Peru journalists and commentators give this story.


Perhaps one day this might change; y'know if somebody with a voice loud enough to be heard cared enough to whip up a bit of hysteria about the fact that a country that boasts and brags about its GDP growth rate can't be bothered to look after its poorest citizens.

Viva investment grade. Viva, viva, viva.
