Today, almost 21 months after the first recorded contagion, as if we had no experience in the pandemic, we find ourselves with the same reactions, making the same mistakes; The enemy launched new variants, with the Omicron we also had room for manoeuvre, but the reaction was the same, too late and badly…
How many times can a strategist be wrong in a war?
The balance of dead and infected is scandalous, in other latitudes the government of Mexico would have been subjected to all kinds of trials, it would be enough to see the predicaments in which Boris Johnson is in Great Britain. At each step of the pandemic, decisions have been costly, the number of deaths from Covid-19 and excess mortality exceeds 600,000 when the person in charge, if López-Gattel can be called that, predicted that reaching 60,000 deaths would be a catastrophe.
The pandemic is the world war that our generation had to face, the enemy has been a virus that has been reaching the five continents, some countries have had commanders who have understood the pandemic, but others, like ours, have been wrong And they are still wrong.
Seen as war, with the hostilities underway, the supplies were sold to China, knowing that they would be essential for the war, consequently basic supplies had to be purchased at any price and quality.
Impossible to forget the instructions of the Mexican commander: go out, hug each other, I tell you when to take care of yourselves, the best shield is to stop, the sacred heart of Jesus is with you. Or what his lieutenant said, that the president is not contagious because his strength is moral and not contagious, since he has already been infected twice…
Mexico, unlike many countries, had a grace period of three months, enough to prepare the response, it was not like that, the president, instead of convening the National Health Council and listening to the specialists who had already fought similar battles, focused on the advice of a few people, with which, propaganda was imposed on science.
Contrary to the great war strategists who aggregate all human and defense resources, private sector doctors were marginalized and ignored, those on the front lines were denied protective materials, received low-quality supplies, the result : a disgraceful first place in casualties in the world of medical-assistance personnel.
While scientists made great efforts to develop antidotes, most governments heeded the recommendation of the World Health Organization to carry out tests to isolate those infected, in Mexico they ventured into monitoring called Sentinel, which turned out to be a complete failure, Both the number of infected and the number of deceased were skyrocketing, for months the name of the country appeared at the head of the fatality rate and there it continues…
Today, almost 21 months after the first recorded contagion, as if we had no experience in the pandemic, we find ourselves with the same reactions, making the same mistakes; the enemy launched new variants, with the Omicron we also had room for manoeuvre, but the reaction was the same, late and badly, again a timid vaccination, which by the way, left the children out, and the order, do not test, just isolate yourselves
At this point, with the war not over, several questions arise: How will we know the number of infected? How many have died? What are those who cannot miss their jobs going to do if they cannot get a voucher? How will those who have lost their jobs with this crisis pay for a test? And finally, what trust can you have in these strategists for this type of war?
