Mexican Deputy Hugo Lopez-Gatell said on Saturday that decades of poor eating habits in the country have created an epidemic of obesity, diabetes and other related health complications that make its people more vulnerable to the novel coronavirus.

The Mexican health ministry has so far registered a total of 1,890 cases of the novel coronavirus and 79 deaths.“These people, unfortunately, had chronic diseases or were older,” Lopez-Gatell said during a press conference, adding that the country had one of the world’s highest rates of diabetes and obesity.

“This is the product of many years, at least four decades, of poor nutrition, a diet that has been created by products of low nutritional quality and very high calories, in particular in processed foods,” Lopez-Gatell said. The World Health Organization has said people with diabetes and its related health complications are among those most vulnerable to severe cases of the highly contagious and sometimes deadly illness caused by the new coronavirus.

They should let Trump build the wall, to protect their country.

Nowadays reports and journalists are just a group of young no brainers. I doubt if they’ve learned math sciences or logistics.

Never trust Data from China.

Mexico has far more cases than that.

A sad scene. China’s people.

Obviously it is a lie. There are several deaths already declared as pneumonia. Plus. No testing are being done as indicated by the who.

2nd wave is already in china

Other countries are either not reporting everything, or lack systems to track new cases and other stats.

Soap kills the Corona virus by disolving its oily layer. Sinus center in Houston has been using drops of baby shampoo in water for sinus flush to kill bacteria infections. Little soapy water up the nose & gargle could kill virus before it multiplies!

Jesus!!!! That’s a death rate of 4.1% and in the U.S. it is just over 2% and Canada is at 1.5% I believe.

Cartels alone killed 100 today. Nothing to see there in that Mexico.

Close the border

Latin America...be careful and do the necessary!
