Today during his press conference (1:23:20) Mexico's president warned:

"This is an epidemic. It's going to keep spreading."

He was not talking about coronavirus. He was talking about biased news coverage & attacks from his "conservative" enemies. #AMLO

He also said: "conservatives blame me for coronavirus. We have all the media against us. We still have the same number of cases. We aren’t liars. I speak every day because I know my adversaries. They want us to get infected. I don’t want that to happen."
Mexico is enjoying the calm before the storm.

Right now there are 7 coronavirus patients and the problem looks contained.

With such close ties to the U.S. and so many business travelers, tourists, and bi-national families, community spread seems inevitable. #Covid_19
In the press conference today, coronavirus seemed like an afterthought or distraction as Mexico's president bragged about his achievements, promoted his new lottery project & criticized his rivals.

He insists that Mexico has good "specialists" & is prepared to confront COVID19.
"Only 8 cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Mexico. By comparison, Brazil, where the first case was confirmed two days before Mexico’s, now has confirmed 37 cases and suspects another 876." bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
