Both López Obrador and López-Gatell have optimistic estimates about the Covid-19 pandemic. We listened to both of them from large public tribunes, the morning conference and the 3rd. Presidential report with numbers that do not match well with what their own statistics say.
Let’s see, only on Wednesday, September 1, Presidential Report Day, Mexico added 1,177 new deaths from Covid-19. To date, our country has 3 million 369,747 people infected with coronavirus, that is, 17,337 people confirmed more than the previous day. At the beginning of September, our country has more than 260 thousand people killed by Covid-19.
Where is the pandemic to the downside in this third rally? The worst thing is that unlike other countries that have had upturns, where there have been infections, but fewer hospitalizations and deaths, in Mexico we have one of the highest fatality rates in the entire planet: around 8% (7.79), while worldwide it is located at 2.1 percent.
These falsehoods of our authorities about the pandemic in Mexico have occurred within the framework of the recent return to face-to-face classes and the presentation of the 3rd. Presidential Report, for which the narrative of this government of the 4T needed to be optimistic and give the information bias, but this time, frankly, they got out of hand.
But if this government presumes – instead of recognizing it as a tragedy of the lack of opportunities in our land – the level of remittances from our countrymen who live and work in the neighboring country to the north, then what can we expect?
Educational collaboration “a la lemon” between Switzerland and Mexico
Switzerland and Mexico work “a la limon”, through the Swiss-Mexican Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SwissCham Mexico), which has made every effort to create the Consortium for the Well-being of Mexico, which is an initiative that seeks to mitigate the negative impacts of Covid-19 in our country working under four fundamental pillars: resilience, health, employability, and diversity and inclusion.
As part of this joint effort, this week SwissCham Mexico, together with the Swiss School of Public Health (SSPH +) and Roche Mexico, launched the first session of the Diploma in Public Health, aimed primarily at member officials. of the chambers of the health commissions in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, as well as health foundations and eight state secretariats, with the aim of promoting issues such as global governance in public health, the impact of technology on the accessibility of Large-scale personalized data for research, the digital transformation of health systems and the prevention of specific problems such as diabetes and obesity, among others.
Switzerland’s relationship on health issues with our country is extremely relevant, and just to give one piece of information: 40% of the total of the nation’s most important exports of watches are of pharmaceutical products, while for Mexico the products of the The pharmaceutical and chemical industries are the fourth most exported Mexican product to the Swiss country.

Given the poor results, both in time, form and money, of the UN Special Projects Agency, UNOPS, which was entrusted with the massive purchase of medicines for the Q4 government, everything seems to indicate that there will be reverse. And although this agency will continue to take charge of some drug codes, the purchase strategy will be changed, since finally more than 90% of the codes were agreed with pharmaceutical companies installed in the national territory.
