Buenos Aires, Argentina Aldana Ramos recalls a moment early in the coronavirus pandemic when she thought she would have to give up her schooling. The 19-year-old resident of the low-income barrio of Villa Soldati was juggling two education programmes taking university courses for medical school in the morning and then studying to be a nurse in the afternoon.
But it was the demand of classrooms thrust entirely into the virtual space that made things more difficult. With no internet at home, and only one cell phone that she shared with her younger brother to log on and complete assignments, it seemed almost impossible to keep up.

Buenos Aires, Mar 10 (efe-epa).- The Buenos Aires Obelisk, where Argentines in 1986 celebrated winning the Mexico World Cup thanks to Diego Maradona, once more on Wednesday became the gathering point for hundreds of the soccer star’s fans, who repeatedly roared that “He didn’t die, they killed him.”
Several fan organizations had called the demonstration at the Obelisk to demand “Justice for Diego” after the death of their sports idol last Nov. 25.
Maradona’s daughters Dalma and Gianinna and Claudia Villafañe, his wife from 1989-2003, also participated in the march, protected by several bodyguarda from a private security firm.
