El gobierno de México actuó mal y lento
Viendo la coyuntura aprovecho e hizo una treta y vil engaño con lo de la influenza
En ese inter se aprovecha para autorizar nuevas leyes, del ansiado estado policiaco que Calderón anhela.
Si llegaron a la presidencia con engaños y trucos ¿ Por qué no habrían de hacerlos ya estando en ella según sus beneficios e intereses ?
El respetado portal de negocios www.bloomberg.com publicó una nota diciendo que México sobre reaccionó con el caso de la influenza. Ahora revisen las noticias de lo que pasó en estos días y verán el truco y engaño que nso montaron, pero ! Cuidado ! Podría stener a un policia encubierto, tu linea d eteléfono intervenida o tu email hackeado por la etica y justa autoridad policial.
Deleznable !
Esta noticia marcando la sobre reacción de México da pie para pensar que esto que comento es bastante plausible:

Mexico ‘Overreacts’ to Flu Risk as Infections Slow, Doctors SayBy Jens Erik Gould
May 1 (Bloomberg) -- As Mexican authorities report that the rate of swine flu infection is slowing, doctors in Mexico City say residents are more scared than they need to be.
Guillermo Velazquez, a pulmonary doctor in the respiratory wing of the General Hospital of Mexico in Mexico City, takes calls every 15 minutes from patients worried they have swine flu. He has had 150 consultations in the past week, a volume that he says is 30 percent higher than usual. Only four of those patients are suspected of having the illness, and none of the cases have been confirmed, he said.
“No, no, it’s not transmitted by an insect. Just stay away from crowds and people who sneeze,” Velazquez, 54, says to one patient on the phone. Minutes later, another woman calls asking if her itchy palate means she has swine flu. “There’s a generalized psychosis here,” Velazquez says after hanging up.
Health Minister Jose Cordova announced yesterday that there was a “progressive decline” in the number of new cases of swine flu, which is responsible for 15 confirmed deaths and 343 nonfatal cases. The number of suspected new cases of the illness per day fell to 46 yesterday from 212 on April 20, Cordova said.
Still, residents are fleeing the capital, storming supermarkets to stock up on food and donning surgical gloves and masks to drive alone in their cars.
‘Fear In Society’
“There’s fear in society,” Francisco Navarro, director general of the General Hospital, the country’s largest, said in an interview. “People think that if they have the flu they’ll die.” According to Navarro, the number of patients Mexico City’s General Hospital hospitalized has actually fallen this week.
The World Health Organization and other authorities expect the number of confirmed worldwide cases, currently at 331, to grow. Mexican scientists say the number of confirmed cases in Mexico may rise as the country’s testing improves. The WHO raised its six-tier pandemic alert to 5, bringing it closer to declaring the first influenza pandemic since 1968.
Mexican officials have suspended all nonessential services until May 5 and urged businesses to close to reduce the risk of spreading swine flu. The federal government canceled classes for all students through May 6, while the capital’s government has ordered that all museums, movie theaters and gyms shut down.
Mexico City’s traffic jams have mostly vanished. Many residents are staying home and many of those who venture outside hide behind blue or white masks. Restaurants, only permitted to offer take-out, are empty.
Emergency Measures
“I think they are responding to a public-health emergency in just about the only way that anybody knows how,” said Arnold Monto, a scientist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and consultant to the WHO. “When you start talking about over- reaction, there’s also underreaction.”
The emergency measures have also inspired more fear than the statistics on flu cases warrant, said Aurora Cardenas, a professor of psychology at the University of the Americas in Mexico City.
Supermarkets have long lines at checkout counters and have at times run out of basic products such as bread. Pharmacies across Mexico City are sold out of medical products the authorities have recommended using, such as face masks and hand sanitizers.
“They’re out of all the medical products they mention on TV,” Cardenas said. “That’s evidence that people are overreacting. People see others doing panicked buying and they want to do it too.”
General Hospital
At the General Hospital, which has a capacity of 1,260 patients, more than 95 percent of the people who have come for consultations to see if they have swine flu haven’t tested positive for any sort of flu, Navarro said. Doctors and other hospital personnel are also asking to be checked for flu symptoms, he said.
Rodolfo Garcia, a recovering tuberculosis patient who waited outside the respiratory wing of the hospital, said the hallways were less crowded than normal because patients due for other treatments had stayed away out of fear of the flu.
Garcia said the panic over the virus was out of proportion because it has killed far fewer people than those snuffed out by the country’s drug cartels. Deaths related to organized crime doubled to more than 6,200 last year, or 17 deaths per day.
“How many millions of us are there in the Federal District?,” said Garcia, 40. “And how many confirmed deaths are there? The drug traffickers can kill that many people in an hour.”
Eufemia Gerardo Sanchez, 59, traveled from Puebla state to the General Hospital in the capital to have her hacking cough and aching chest checked out, concerned she might have swine flu. It turned out to be bronchitis.
“I heard the news and I was afraid because I have small grandchildren,” Sanchez said. “I told the doctor to get rid of these doubts, it was best to just do the tests.”
