Argentina coronavirus cases hit 3 million on Sunday since the pandemic began, as medical workers said hospitals were full to capacity despite toughened government measures to bring down the spread of infections.
The country's health ministry said there were 11,394 new cases over the last 24-hour period, bringing up the grim new milestone, with 156 new deaths taking fatalities to 64,252.
The government of President Alberto Fernandez this week unveiled a new round of tougher restrictions as a second wave of infections has battered the country, filling up intensive care units and setting new daily records for cases and deaths.
But medical staff said it was still not enough.
"People need to be a little more aware and know that the hospitals are full and that health personnel are exhausted," said Luciana Berti, a 41-year-old surgical assistant.
The South American grains producer, which has gone through three straight years of recession, exacerbated by the pandemic, is balancing the need to stem the spread of the virus while protecting a fragile economic recovery.

If those stats are accurate..
Meh
Stats always lag behind when the outbreak hits.
So it is fine to just wait and watch for a while.
Thanks for this article, but I use GAB for all of my C19 updates.
WHO to decide fate of 3-billion-dose Chinese vaccines within days
Oh, to be a fly on the wall...
Snort.
Argentina has some horrific problems.
WuFlu ain’t even on the radar.
I feel most sorry for the health care workers down there.
I know...which one of these “vaccines” will kill you? Which one actually works? Can the world ‘trust China?’ Or trust the plan? LOL.
January 20, 2021 - Argentina’s government said on Wednesday it has approved Russia’s coronavirus vaccine, Sputnik V, for use in people over 60 after earlier green-lighting it for younger age groups, a boost for Moscow as it looks to push the inoculation overseas.
Driving to and from work will kill you too. I see car accidents all the time. And of course it would be raining this morning. I should call in sick. It’s just too dangerous.
Nope, no one died before Covid-19...
Argentina still has 1/2 the deaths per million that New York City does, and De Blasio/Cuomo are heros.
Without a “Warp Speed” vaccine mobilation or Welding people in their houses, Covid is going to chew through a population until the deaths/per million is well over 2,500 in the urban areas.
All of this is as expected and why would anyone expect any country to be different?
Guess the Falklands are safe from Argentinian invasion for another year or two.
Hospitals are always “full” until someone arrives with a video camera and then they get arrested
BUMP!
Is Argentina like India? Quit using HCQ/Invermectin and start using big pharma stuff?
They have had a year to build more facilities and train people to staff them.
What the heck have they been doing instead of getting ready?
