It's worse here, AMLO the Mexican president was out shaking hands and kissing babies over the weekend, totally laid back (same as his openly declared stance to the cartels, where he says "non-confrontation" is the answer)....it's weird, nobody around here with masks, no panic buying (apart from me stacking up with beer), even my girlfriend (a senior administrator covering all the free hospitals and clinics in a huge state) is totally laid back.
When I initially warned her this was spreading (mid-feb?) her attitude was "it's only another form of flu, we'll worry about it when it gets here"...mind you, that's the typical attitude here, I thought mañana meant tomorrow, but it apparently means "sometime in the future"
Here's AMLO kissing babies and snogging his adoring fans
