The publication states that, like other leaders such as Jair Bolsonaro, from Brazil, and Donald Trump, former president of the United States, it is avoided to follow the recommendations to prevent the spread of the virus, such as the use of face masks or physical distance .
“Bolsonaro, Trump, and López Obrador had a similar attitude: denial, delayed response, minimization of severity, and also the idea of not suspending activities,” Eduardo González-Pier, former undersecretary of health, told the British media when exposing that with a good response, between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths from COVID-19 would have been avoided.
The text also comments on the case of the Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion, Hugo López-Gatell, who was captured on a beach in Oaxaca during the December holidays, even when “he urged citizens to stay at home.”
