He left a trail of deaths, did not respect age or social strata, but mainly he tested the responsiveness of the federal government and eminences of medicine joined efforts to prevent the death rate increased significantly.

                        Around this deadly virus, lethal if not go to receive medical attention after the first 72 hours of their symptoms, the media across the country played a vital role to let you know the Mexican society the importance of conducting essential hygienic preventive measures to avoid contagion to others.
