2- People tend to talk more than usual and in more careful way in unusual places and with unusual interlocutors.

3- There is a lot of (virtually) free time if you are not ill

4- There is more time for reading and writing: the government of Buenos Aires and Ciudad Autónoma gave all the students the Ana Frank diary and encouraged them to also keep a diary.

mmm... let´s see!

5- Teenagers are denouncing they are in risk to be locked down these weekend nights

6- It´s quite problable that if the temperature is still near 20ºC at midday, there will be not enfeverish people in the parks and riverside

7- Internet would have been a great resource for teaching if most of the schools and students have home-local access to it, but it´s not the case

8- Parents and kids keep assisting to the schools to have copies of the homeworks and some of them retire food

9- There are less traffic in the streets and very few people in shops and bars

10- You have more chance to find an empty seat in the bus

11- kids of 6 years old enjoy playing with spanish cards with ben-10 design

12- the more time indoors the more you start wondering if the subtle (or not) disorder you have been accumulating around you last days, months and years is somehow healthy or not

(more later)

13- There are countries that can be in continuum sanitary emergency since 2002

14- Washing your hands three times a day with alcohol gel during a week and a half, your hands start to arder the next time you put alchohol gel in them

16- two weeks with the influenza as universe axis it´s beggining to feel too much everywhere

17- you stop reciving mails that invites you:

I hope you're feeling better now, Arcadia!

I've been reading these and really enjoying them!

Sorry they were inspired by the flu!

22- less money more conspirative theories?

23- popular fests are re-escheduled in a month, that originates double (or more) fests.

24- You got tired of watching tv more than usual

25- you return to work, people tell you that they couldn´t do what were was supposed to be done and also ask you how the second half of the year will be like... you say that you can understand and that next week it´s expected to have the same number of hours per day as usual and that you expect they also will understand and that you have no idea but sure we can work it out!

Brrrrrr! Numeros! ! los números hacen que mi piel se arrastra!

Mucho Gusto your take though, I even counted. Uno, dos...and three.

gracias for reading, SooZen!!

26- Three months after the first post, you discover you have all the influenza symptoms but your doctor diagnosed you with J-02 code and kept you three days in bed!! . He also asks you how could be possible for you to listen from the left hear all this time! (it seems I´ll have magnified hearing abilities since next friday... )

27- There are more headaching, sneezing and coughing kids in your classroom than in plain winter.

It is bad here
too.

I hope you are getting over it by now.
