In this case we tried smoothing the data with a running average over the last week (7 days bearing in mind that since we only recorded weekdays only 5 days were joined in the running average). This also means that the days shown at the bottom are in some sense 7 days ahead of the data. We gave up on this and instead decided to look at all days and the individual countries and their hosts.
Argentina
PimgER monitors 4 hosts in Argentina:
- www.criba.edu.ar the Centro Regional de Investigaciones Basicas y Aplicadas de Bahia Blanca in Buenos Aires. The links are by ESnet and REDCLARA R&E organizations.
- ns1.retina.ar the Red Nacional de Invest ia gacion y Educacion de Argenta in Buenos Aires with links by ESnet, REDCLARA and RETINA R&E organizations.
- www.ucu.edu.ar the Universidad del Concepcion Uruguay about 125 rmiles of Buenos Aires and links via public network links such as Level3.
- www.unju.edu.ar Universidad Nacional de Jujuy in the N E corner of Argentina is about 500 miles NNE of Buenos Aires, and has links via ESnet, REDCLARA then to AS3597 (Foundation InnovaT). I am not sure if it should be classed as an R&E link.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Argentina the first death was on Mar 7, on Mar 19 a nationwide lockdown was imposed. On Apr 25 the lockdown was reduced for Jujuy.
Looking at the IPDV chart below we see:
- www.criba.edu and ns1.criba.edu.ar the two hosts in Buenos Aires with R&E links track one another fairly closely
- following the Mar 19 lockdown, the following 20 days had a lower IPDV for www.criba.edu and ns1.criba.edu.ar, then fro Apr 11-17 there is an increase in IPV followed by another 4 weeks of low IPDV
