Meanwhile: in Ecuador (a place not known for its bitter winters)
I don't speak Spanish but this doesn't look good.
A lot of hope is being pinned on Winnie the Flu behaving like the regular flu and going away in the summer. The Ecuador situation does not seem to support that hope. Ecuador is on the actual equator (hence its name) and Guayaquil is the countries main port (not up in the mountains).Costal temperatures are moderated slightly by the Humbolt Current, but average temperature in Guayaquil in March is still 32.2C (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) .
The above video was posted by a German News Agency on YouTube but seems to have been pulled.
There's another, short, but quite grim video from Guayaquil here and there's a CNNi report on the situation here.
Batten down. This mess is going to go on for a while.
