Because he “wants” to see people, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador summoned everyone who wants to go to the Zócalo in Mexico City tomorrow to listen to one more of his quarterly reports.
Obviously, the leader of that movement that feeds on the harangue and the crowded squares wants to commemorate his three years in the presidential power, but this is a very bad moment to expose so many people.
We can anticipate the content of the presidential message, but we cannot guess what the impact on the health of the thousands of attendees may be at a time when the whole world panicked over the presence of a new variant, more dangerous, more resistant and contagious. SARS-CoV-2.
The only concentrations that the federal government should promote at this time should be those already vaccinated to receive a third backup dose and those under five years of age and older to receive their doses.
Furthermore, it should be a matter of urgency that those who were vaccinated with single-dose biologics were receiving an emergency booster. There are the teaching workers who were inoculated with a single dose of the Chinese Cansino vaccine and the youth at the border who were assigned the Johnson & Johnson unit doses.
If the President does not soon cancel this unnecessary mass rally on Wednesday, we will be in the reissue of “stop” and hug each other and go out to eat with the family from last year.
Preventive measures must also be taken before the next great human concentration on December 12 around the Basilica of Guadalupe, sanitary measures must be strengthened in commercial activities and precautionary recommendations must be redoubled around social and family gatherings of the next 30 days.
The new variant B.1.1.529 of Covid-19 is not the “South African variant” as they want to say with that desire to locate it at a huge distance. This variety, known as Omicron, was indeed detected in South Africa, but is now in Botswana, Hong Kong and Israel. But also in Belgium, in the heart of a small region of free access and great economic importance such as Europe.
The experts of the World Health Organization have already classified this Omicron variant as of concern and we cannot afford to underestimate its damaging power, as Mexico did with the original strain of SARS-CoV-2, when they qualified from the morning to the disease of the century like a cold.
Q4 cannot go wrong again in handling this active pandemic. President López Obrador should immediately cancel his political rally on Wednesday and reinforce contagion prevention messages.
Many countries that do not have a single registered case of this Omicron variant have sounded the alarms and are taking precautionary measures to avoid a new wave that implies more hospitalized and dead.
To make mistakes again in Mexico with everything that has happened because of wanting to see people fill the public square and nurture the President’s political movement would even be criminal.
