The 2009 pandemic arrived suddenly and lethally, exposing our plans to reality. Are we now better prepared?


Adela Guti?rrez, a door-to-door census-taker for the Mexican government, started feeling unwell with fever, headache and a sore throat, in early April 2009. Guti?rrez, a 39-year-old mother of three, lived in the southern state of Oaxaca. By the time she arrived at the state hospital, she was unable to breathe and was diagnosed with severe atypical pneumonia that might have been complicated by her diabetes. Within four days, Guti?rrez was dead.
