López Obrador’s nonchalance and resistance to tough action in face of pandemic draws barrage of criticism

From a bountiful table filled with culinary delights from Oaxaca, Mexico’s president offered unusual advice for a country facing the coronavirus crunch: keep dining out.

His advice is as bad as Mexican food.

Yep, let’s open the border. KAG

This article is full with personal claims that are both misleading and exaggerated. It's sad that publishes an article on this crucial topic with outdated and inaccurate information.

I'm impressed. The Guardian usually has a good coverage of Mexico but, in this case, you where either ignorant or naive who took a partial perspective of how our government is sorting things out. There's a real attempt to hurt our government and you've just become a part of that.

Or let people with no formal jobs die from hunger, hope you give the entire panorama of how is the country facing this and when he said that.

AmyRuckes Agree

We are taking precautions WITH government guidance. We have experts who lead public conferences everyday. WHO recognized Mx as one having the best prompt measures. The rest of the article is true AMLO is an egocentric prick!

Best advice currently. The alternative (shut down everything / ultimate gestapo mode) means mass unemployment, riots, civil war and 10x more death in 10x less time.

Situación en SLP, Méx. Casos de coronavirus, personal de salud sin equipo, familiares haciendo 'equipos de protección' en casa con material que ellos mismos compran. No existió capacitación, no hubo plan, no se sabe cuáles son las áreas designadas para los pacientes.

Mexico has over 60 million people living with the earnings of the day. Most of them have no running water, while savings and TP are a luxury. When you know hunger and fight starvation on daily basis, COVID-19 is a remote threat. He made his choice

What a disappointment.

This happened just a few days ago when we have two hundred infected in Mexico. What policies have implemented in UK when you people got the same number of infected people (March 6th)?

el_reportero Absolutely correct!!! Yes from yesterday, phase 2 measures were announced,like no gatherings of more than 100 persons🤦🏼‍♀️. Our President is a man with the lowest self esteem, and persecution delirium. His followers believe covid wont be a problem just because we are very brave!

This article is so outdated, we are about a month behind US and Europe and schools are already suspended, people working from home and they announced phase 2 yesterday. They run a stayathome slogan constantly, even launched a cartoon superhero for distancing, don’t lie

Fuckwit! He’s going to be responsible for thousands of deaths

Wow, his advice is super shit.

Good advice. Live life as usual, but follow Govt. advice sensibly - wash hands with disinfectant and observe social distancing without reasons. Keeping yourself safe means keeping others safe too, slow or stop the spread.

Such a misleading news!! Mexico just started self isolating yesterday on a very early stage of the pandemic, also all schools are closed now. President spoke to the nation to take measures and protect the elderly, keep yourselves updated!!

Trump was on to something about these people

Not anymore from March 23st, quarantine!!!

Time will tell, but until such time - BOYCOTT MEXICO

Starting yesterday March 24, this is no longer true, which is the moment we officially ended phase 1, and the government did a whole uturn. Measures got a lot tougher, And people are being sent home. Why was this article published a whole day after this is no longer true?

He doesn't run the country .. cartels do!

The Mexicans should think twice about electing this president again. The pandemic is obvious and death toll is amounting. How to carry on the living as if nothing has happened? The rich & powerful have the resources to prevent the infections but how about the under privileged?

Populism is a political disease that infects both left and right-wing. Down with all crooks like Amlo, Trump, Boris Johnson, Bolsonaro & Co.

lopezobrador_ aka TheShit in Spanish ElCacas ElCacasCientifico ElCacasAMLO

The majority of those who are dying are elderly with pre existing conditions that make the vulnerable. 96% or more recover. The numbers don't add up to justify the destruction of the economy and individual freedom. Bizarro world when

Last paragraph of the actual story folks.

MORE STUPIDITY

The true axis of evil is this guy, Trump and Bolsonaro circle jerking

To destroy a country needs only one COVID19 coronavirus affected human being. And, as today 25 Mar'20 Mexico has 405 infected cases and 5 deaths including today's one. Good luck. Stay safe.

Oh Mexico

Who’s he ! The Grimm Reaper ?

This was the message from our own government 3 weeks ago.

The thing I dont understand is, until the whole World gets rid of the virus, isn't it just going to keep doing the rounds because of travel? One Country gets it under control, another becomes the epicentre?

Dis you miss ‘and die’ from the end of his quotation.

Yes, he’s saying that shit, but that does not mean we are listening to him. Most of us are IN our houses.

Well, if we could hide from it, we would be hiding forever

Another verification of the rule that humanity will only come into terms with reality if reality hits it on the head with a gigantic hammer

MexiCovidiot

Well now US does need a wall to keep infected immigrants out. What an idiot playing right innto trumps hands

Sooner or later, Mexico gang will announce lockdown😆

Preventing or overcome virus is impossible to lockdown since some countrys would nt do that. Therefore you should prefer herd immunity system in this battle

Anyone still objecting to a wall?

That 50 foot wall dnt look so silly anymore...

welp, it's not the first time foreigners brought plague to Mexican people.

Seems like misleading information sells better nowadays! 🙄

El Pardino say hi

lopezobrador_

In Turkish we say; Koyver gitsin. Congrats wise guy!

lopezobrador_ échale una leída

Bye bye Mexico...

asiantrucker So Mexico too will be decimated...

Oh dear, I fear for Mexico 😱😱

Gangster did better than government since they live in the bottom of society

The last sentence contradicts your whole article

GOAT

In 1665, the Bubonic Plague killed 7000 people in a single week, the Cholera epidemic of 1831 wiped out 51,000 people. Death rates from this have not reached a thousand in the U.K. yet. Perhaps he might have a point about not criminalizing an entire country on hysteria grounds?

As one of the millions of people in lockdown right now, this makes me pretty angry. Absolute moron.

The chance is they will end up with less violence than before?

WHO ummmmmmmmmmmm remember how u didn’t raise pandemic alert early enough to kick complacent governments like the UK and US into gear? Well maybe u should make some direct address n interventions ?!?

Somebody k1ll h1m

Check Brazilian’s advice on national tv yesterday. You might be surprised too

Mexico, U.S. need new and real leaders!

Another Mad Man.

He won't be so nonchalant in 2 weeks

“If you’re able and have the means to do so, continue taking your family out to eat … because that strengthens the economy.” Because it’s not about saving lives, it’s all about the economy. 🙄 Mexico COVIDIOTS

You what

Meanwhile, what will he be doing?

It will come to Mexico too and when it does I hope you will enjoy your life

This is clearly representative of how some politicians will prioritise the economy over the welfare of millions. It is unsettling to see that in the midst of the COVID19outbreak and after receiving multiple statements from WHO, StayHomeStaySafe is still ignored.

Good for him, let God sort it out. I bet that they have less deaths, and less impact to their economy than the countries who crashed their economies because of a mostly non-lethal virus.

👀

Does he not have access to global news?

What is he saying?

No!!! Ffs StayAtHome StayAtHomeSaveLives

One of Corbyn’s good friends.

Not bad for a pseudo communistic bloke. The CPC took a similar approach during the first month or so of the COVID2019 and then had to lock down millions of people for months. Another buffoon in politics

Criminal

Damnnn bro!

Pedejo!

THE WALL JUST GOT 10 FEET TALLER.

This is what many countries like the UK, US and even the CDC said in the beginning, now look at what's happening. *sigh*

Hmmmm! Be genuinely interesting to see how this pans out.

Populism, whether from the left or the right, is showing its ugly face around the world.

Wtf

Careful now, your coyote might infect you.

I’m lost for words, polite ones😐

Yep, shut travel w/ Mexico down. Super job Mexican leadership. Super eff-up.

Aye corumba-virus

Is he related to Trump?

🤣 Moron

Holy guacamole 🤦‍♂️

He’s a fool.. just like our talking orange

I like this

Bolsonaro Effect

Hancock accuses those still socialising in UK of being 'very selfish'Health secretary says behaviour risks lives of NHS workers and others in tougher coronavirus stance than PM Hairdressers hairdressers hairdressers. Why haven't the government closed them? 2 metre rule doesn't apply? Why aren't the media asking about this ffs. If you look carefully at this photo, people are in distinct groups several feet apart. Those in close contact could be people who are living together, which is allowed. Suspect there is an over reaction to flouting of self isolation advice. To fight this virus we certainly don't want lots of young people effortlessly developing natural immunity. Better to wait till Christmas for a vaccine that might not work.

Boris Johnson must impose a lockdown now | David LammyDuring this coronavirus pandemic we need to be prepared to temporarily sacrifice our liberty to save lives, says MP for Tottenham, David Lammy Do the US, UK and Australia ever wonder what the Iraqis think of our whining about ''saving our lives'', what about the fucking 1.5 million Iraqis we slaughtered for no damn reason. Immediately. Staff in supermarkets need protection - just witnessed cashier being spat at. Let alone the protection the NHS needs. People are either selfless or selfish & selfish people are coming out of the woodwork and need to be kept inside for the protection of all of us! 🤟👍
