Cancun Covid 19 Update

Yes, the number of deaths was higher than previous days

A total of 106 deaths out of a population of 1 Million in Cancun over 7 weeks.

Thankful to be part of the 99.9894% Cancun population that hasn't died from it.

Are you suggesting that people with no symptoms should be tested?

That's not happening even in Canada.




Current testing protocol (summarised) in Mexico is:

High priority:

• Hospitalized patients that show symptoms
• Health workers who exhibit symptoms, as well as people who work in places such as prisons and shelters, who show symptoms.

Normal priority:

• People with potential Covid19 symptoms: fever, shortness of breath, goosebumps, muscle pain, throat ache, vomit, diarrhea, impairment of sense of smell or taste.
• People without symptoms that, for any reason, are prioritized by health professionals, including those who are tested as a statistical sample for the sentinel surveillance model.

I didn't look up every single Province but in Ontario, at least, that's not the case - apart from in care homes.
