While the world prepares to apply the third and fourth reinforcement, in Mexico the health authorities are debating the relevance of massively vaccinating minors. For now, the strategy has focused on vaccinating the groups most vulnerable to severe covid.
Once again, the experts’ predictions about the duration of the fourth wave of infections were wrong. The World Health Organization (WHO), Dr. López-Gatell, Dr. Macias have been accurate in their projections. They are so inaccurate that if they project numbers, letters and new variants come out.
The latest comments from the WHO point out that this pandemic peak will still be with us for a few weeks.
The sleepy world has lived with the Omicron for a couple of months, new measures to limit the mobilization were decreed by the governments to contain it.
No government in the world anymore considers that the confinement will stop the pandemic, sanitary measures for now are based on mass vaccination, taking tests and, the already insistent: wearing a face mask and washing your hands.
While the world prepares to apply the third and fourth reinforcement, in Mexico the health authorities are debating the relevance of massively vaccinating minors. For now, the strategy has focused on vaccinating the groups most vulnerable to severe covid.
Regarding the application of detection tests, Mexico continues to be one of the countries that applies the fewest tests in the world. For the Mexican authorities, any symptom related to covid should be considered covid, without the need to apply a test, the precautions taken by the head of government in Mexico City are not lacking, however, the health and economic repercussions they are exponential. As well as the health risks due to such an inaccurate recommendation.
Almost two years after the appearance of the first case of Covid-19 in Mexico, erratic policies of the authorities leave us to swing the tides of the contagious Omicron.
The World Health Organization has indicated that in March half the world will be infected with SARS-CoV2, which could be the incipient beginning of the famous herd contagion.
Dear reader, the months go by and the pandemic continues, the only thing certain is that all the experts’ forecasts were erratic, let’s hope that the little critter gets tired of our presence, because it seems that all the sanitary measures together will always be insufficient. Until next time.
