Why don’t you hold off with the updates until there are confirmed cases. Just mentioning the possibility is keeping fear in the minds of readers. We don’t need to be reminded of this problem in Mexico.
Hey Jantango,
I certainly see your point and empathize. That said, I’ve had three people email and thank me for doing the updates. So, what to do? It looks like this problem may be cooling off a bit and may not be as bad as people had feared. I wouldn’t read too much into the updates if they worry you, and people shouldn’t get scared by having access to this information. A lack of information and complete silence about the matter would, in my view, generate more concern, which is why the government is providing daily briefings. I think the evolution of this challenge provides a little insight into not just the problem here in Argentina but how the government is dealing with it.
Many thanks for your feedback. I will keep it in mind.
