hanta on the kill
health authorities have admitted that the hanta (or han tan) virus is an epidemic but perhaps an even greater danger is that it becomes a mass psychosis. typically for Argentina, this deadly disease only came to prominence when contracted by a famous (or notorious) resident of the national capital: the ex judge remigio Gonzalez moreno until it reached Buenos Aires, the virusremained firmly in the background not that it necessarily deserves to eclipse chagas disease, which afflicts three or four million mostly rural argentines, or the recent star aliment aids.
how serious is the hanta virus? since 1992 at least 15 people have died, including seven people in the last two months in an alarming escalation a mortality rate of 60 percent. the Gonzalez Moreno case did notnecessarily shatter the complacent myth that the disease was restricted to el bolson (to the south of bariloche) because his in-laws live in the Patagonian town where he had attended a funeral. nevertheless, at least, one couple who never visited el bolson have died and cases (usually linked to the bariloche area) have been reported as far afield as Rosario, Tucuman, Cordoba province, Buenos Airesand Oran in salta worldwide, similar cases have been reported as far apart from each other as new Mexico and the south Korean capital of seoul. economically, the disease or rather the fear it has engendered threatens to have catastrophic consequences for not only the holiday homes and orchard produce of el bolson but the bariloche area as a whole, the destination of some 400.000 tourists eachsummer.
like cholera, the hanta virus is best countered by rational preventive measures, not fear. while the source of the virus has been tracked down as a long-tailed variety of mouse, even such apparently obvious countermeasures as anti-rodent programmes should be approached with extreme caution rodent extermination could have disastrous ecological consequences and expelling the creatures mightsimply spread the disease much further around than its current relatively limited locations. yet what the authorities cannot do is turn a blind eye, as they have been doing until this month.

Death by tourism(from . Headway Upper -Intermediate, Lesson one, page 20, Oxford University Press, 1998)
Does tourism ruin everything that it touches?
At the entrance toone of the ruined temples of Petra in Jordan, there is an inscription chiselled into the soft red rock. It looks as if it has been there for centuries. It could have been carved by one of King Herod' s soldiers, when they were imprisoned in the town in 40 BC. But closer inspection reveals that it is not so ancient after all. It reads: Shane and Wendy from Sydney were here. April 16th 1996.The ruins of Petra were discovered in 1810 by a Swiss explorer, and a recent report has just concluded that "they are in grave danger of being destroyed by the unstoppable march of tourism" More than 4,000 tourists a day tramp through Petra' s rocky tombs. They wear away the soft red sandstone to powder and (occasionally!) scratch their names into the rock. It is not just Petra that is under...
