Surviving two weeks I have started this whole show of influenza in the City and has a week to hardly leave home. Life has been a mixture of strange situations. Some, pleasant (most of the time), such as working at home with my wife. We both sent to work in home-office mode. Of course, we enjoy it, but at this point, and look for any excuse to get out. We still, at least another week at home. To see how we had ....
On the other hand there are the surreal things that happen around us. In the media has spread a message nauseum quite paranoid and sensationalist, it only seems reasonable if we're talking about millions of infected and thousands of dead, but with the 2000 patients and 20 deaths (in approximate numbers, not exact) mentioned in the government's figures, it sounds excessive. I mean, remember that the United States, the flu kills 36,000 a year, without need of new viruses. Do you really need both a cry of alarm? They say that yes, If the virus lasts a long time, could mutate into something truly dangerous. I have my doubts.
Finally, we left. After seeing the tone of the news, I really hope to see perhaps apocalyptic scenes, or at least unusual. No, it will be another day or another place. Children run through between the buildings, playing with friends. People are still on the streets, on foot. Buy from the corner store. Some wear masks, but most do not. It all seems so ... so everyday!
As we move away from home, he noticed a little change. Nearly all businesses closed. Above all, restaurants. However, the street food Changarro remain open. The thing is not smooth, or clever. If the matter is that the restaurants close, why not do something with the little shop? If Changarro are not dangerous, why require formal close to restaurants? It smells of political tampering, and that makes me sick. No crisis can not be worse trying to get water to his mill. And in an election year, so help me!
There is little traffic. We notice that many people still at home, or just plain left the city for the long weekend. In fact, we learned that Cuernavaca is up to the crest of chilangos fugitives ... I imagine that Monday is the day we could see how many people are working at home, and how many are in the usual routine.
For now, after days and days of medical emergency, I'd like to raise a question: Does anyone know a person who has become sick with influenza? Family, friend, acquaintance ... but that is not "the cousin of a friend's neighbor," but someone real. Are there really those infected? Courtesy
