How convenient?

Question

How to translate How convenient into Spanish?

e.g.

How convenient that as Tamiflu reaches it's expiry date, a new Pandemic pops up creating worldwide panic, and a rush to buy some more, to keep the coffers full.

How convenient that it has popped up out of season firstly hitting a poorer country such as Mexico.

How convenient is it that us, in the Southern Hemisphere are the Guinea Pigs for the rest of the world because we are hitting Flu Season.

How Convenient that it gives the drug companies, time to mass produce immunisations and more Tamiflu to protect the Northern Hemisphere next year.

How convenient when there are documented articles on how the world population has to be reduced by 5 billion, that we suddenly have a new virus, the most complex seen(made made) that contains several types of virus, that may just wipe out a few excess humans?

"there are documented articles" ha ha, those sound authoritative. Sorry I can't help you with the Spanish. :( - rabbitwho, Mar 21, 2011

I didn't write the article, I just googled it for examples ;) - Gocika, Mar 21, 2011

Answer 1

I can think of two ways to approach this translation:

1. Qué conveniente - as a statement. Qué conveniente que aparece una nueva pandemia justo cuando el Tamiflu llega a su fecha de expiración.
2. As an "isn't it" type of question: "¿No es conveniente que aparece una nueva pandemia justo cuando el Tamiflu...?"

Great answer :) - NikkiLR, Mar 21, 2011

Answer 2

Since it is being used with a touch of sarcasm, how about "tan oportuno"?

I think it would work about the same, but it should be "qué oportuno": "how timely", vs. "how convenient". - Gekkosan, Mar 21, 2011
