The virus itself does not kill anyone, which kills are the living conditions of much of Mexican society Mara Munoz
MEXICO CITY .- A few days after the federal government ordered the suspension of classes in the Federal District and the State of Mexico, three Mexican journalists were given the task of analyzing the health emergency that paralyzed Mexico and put it in the eye of the storm at the international level. Alejandro P?ez Varela, Jose Perez-Espino and Mara Munoz wrote "Influenza. Neglect of manipulation, "a book containing three essays-one for each author on the subject.
The 180-page volume, published by Grijalbo, develops highly accurate time three ideas: that Mexico was surprised by the outbreak of human influenza A H1N1 in a collapsed health system, that the epidemic gave way to political maneuvering and manipulation collective federal governments and local and emergency risks are still vivid.
Perez-Espino, editor of the Sunday Day Seven, said that although each of the three authors gave an essay that analyzes different perspective of that health crisis, one of the common conclusions is that "obviously the health infrastructure of the country, The three levels of Government, was obsolete, inefficient and not ready to deal with a health emergency that was declared as a result of the emergence of this new virus. "
After detailed analysis, to dig into the past, present and future of Mexico before the crisis, the trio of authors came to conclusions: that the dismantling of the health system has put us at risk from the epidemic there was a negligent driving the viral outbreak, that politicians and the official apparatus resorted to manipulation and / or use of collective psychosis that Mexicans "are to the defenseless."
The reflections are clear in politics: President Felipe Calder?n saved humanity while the country sank into economic crisis, security, institutions and leadership, the head of the Federal District, Marcelo Ebrard, is "uncovered" for the presidency of Mexico in Veracruz Gov. Fidel Herrera, erected a statue of Edgar, the "Child zero," as Mr. Alejandro Paez, in his essay "The virus is not important."
The manipulation
Mara Munoz part of the idea of a myth that exists in the Mexican culture is largely hidden problem of inequality and the distribution of resources in this country. "That cultural myth became manifest during the influenza crisis in a very particular. There was a manipulation of discourse that was based on three fundamental factors: ignorance of the magnitude of the virus at first, followed by lack of knowledge about scientific and technological resources that the country has to face a threat of this nature, and a deliberate act of manipulation for electoral purposes ".
The journalist who is part of the magazine's editorial team multimedia Indigo Report says that these three factors were responsible for an act of deliberate manipulation embodied in a presidential figure which came on the scene soon.
In this lack of social equity, cultural, economic and health, there is the Munoz considered a very serious flaw: the lack of a diagnosis biosocial. "We know the socioeconomic profile, age, sex of those who died, I do not mean that isolated data as published daily by the Secretariat of Health, but a report that actually reflects the profile of those 170 dead or the number people who have been ", as is clear in his essay" The virus in disguise. Who killed the Mexicans in the XXI century ".
Jose Perez-Espino, meanwhile, takes in his essay "Narrative construction of fear and moral panic," an analysis of management and communication strategies that took office these days, which are similar to those before and has assumed out daily.
"I start from the premise that the Presidency of the Republic and the federal Government built using the myths of management of moral panic and the narrative of fear to seek a consensus on the presidential figure, not so much to win elections but to legitimate his own stay in power. "
Myths
These strategies have not been studied or analyzed efficiently generate myths. Perez-Espino said that "a myth of government is to create the idea that Mexico actually saved the world or that Mexicans saved the world." It is more brutal when the facts show that Mexico is not prepared for the outbreak of the virus AH1N1. "There will be a resurgence, but neither the country nor the world is prepared to respond, despite announcements to be applied to vaccines to vulnerable populations."
The book, which includes a chronology of events and a series of recommendations on what to do before the outbreak of human influenza, was intended as a journalistic exercise, timely and reflection to help Mexican society to prepare for what lies ahead.
PHRASE
The virus itself does not kill anyone, which kills are the living conditions of much of Mexican society

Provide one million with A H1N1 in winter
MEXICO CITY .- The Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova Villalobos, said that a national plan is refined to deal with possible additional infections, which includes a training program for physicians.
The health authority in Mexico warned that a million people could be infected by human influenza A H1N1 during the winter season, so it thins a national plan to deal with possible additional infections.

"It's very likely or potentially we have a million cases or more.''
Since late April when it announced a new virus epidemic, 21 thousand have been counted 264 cases of influenza AH1N1, of which, 184 died.
"We are preparing with all states for which it will be a major challenge, which is what will happen in the winter time.
He said that the suspension of activities in winter will be in a focused way, which depend on the number of cases is in each locality, which would mean closure of some schools or even just a few classrooms.
In late April and early May, the government ordered to stop classes, restaurants, theaters and other activities by the epidemic.
Mexico plans to buy 30 million flu vaccine and is in contact with China to further evaluate a possible acquisition that will depend on the results of tests performed that nation.
Cordova said that Mexico already has secured 20 million vaccines to an international laboratory and negotiates an extra batch of 10 million.
The application of vaccines will target specific sectors that include healthcare workers, children six to 24 months of age, pregnant women and people with morbid obesity (with an overweight of 100 percent).
