Historically, politicians in our country have used all sorts of tricks to gain political advantage to his opponents or the population, especially in election years (like this), and this has developed into the DNA of the gene with a Mexican high – “suspicious.”
It may be that the reason that a good number of Mexicans think that the epidemic of influenza, initially known as swine, but is now known as A (H1N1), is a lie to distract from some major issues for the country.
The combination of suspicion, an election year and an epidemic caused by an enemy we do not see, fired the imagination of some people who recently set up in various rumors and conspiracy theories (which are broadcast online).
Obviously the problem is not immune to a certain policy, which is why I ask this question:
Can the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), Organization of the United Nations Food and Agriculture (FAO), the Mexican authorities, the Canadian, U.S., Spanish , French, German, Egyptian, British, Japanese, Argentinian and Cuban, among others, will agree to distract the Mexican people for a small group of politicians get any benefit?
Of course I would reply: “It is not for the benefit of Mexican politicians. This is an international conspiracy to boost the world economy (now in crisis) and how wars are no longer running, using a disease. ”
The panic buying of antiviral, anti-mask and in pharmacies, or canned food and water in supermarkets could be the proof of this.
However, something that takes no account of the conspiracy theory is that the absence of sufficient supply of products is broken by the continuous consumption. Because if the government asks people to stay home to avoid infection, hundreds of companies, including pharmaceuticals, could not produce enough medicines, foods and other items that are required to market and boost the economy.
What would you say the service sector and tourism? ¿Accelerates the economy have closed cinema complexes and restaurants? And the salaries that many employers do not want to pay for contingency? ¿The government to raise taxes right now?
Turning to the conspiracy theory of a local character, one that says that politicians want to distract the Mexican people to take some advantage over their opponents or the public, would be crazy to create a psychosis world that sooner or later be discovered and that in the long run, it would discredit our country and all ahuyentaría foreign investment (though with our politicians, anything is possible).
On the other hand, if everything was a hoax from the federal government, the leader of the people: Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, would already be saying that everything is a “complex”.
Beyond speculation, the reality is that the WHO has stepped up to Phase 5, the alert level for the epidemiologic influenza outbreak that began in Mexico and has presented cases in United States, Canada, New Zealand, Germany and Spain, among other countries. So we must take this epidemic seriously and look after our health.
What are the recommendations?
See a doctor if there is: Fever greater than 38 ° C, frequent and intense cough, headache, poor appetite, nasal congestion and general malaise.
To prevent infection: Avoid crowded places and mass events. Stay away from people who have respiratory illnesses. Wash hands frequently with soap and water. No hello or to kiss your hand. Do not share food, cups or cutlery. Ventilate and allow passage of the sun at home, office and all enclosed places. Keep covered with clean kitchen and bathroom, door handles and railings, as well as toys, telephones and use of common objects.
