The first thing that struck me even though we don't live in Mexico City was it'll soon reach Monterrey.
The lady-wife berated me saying I should think positive! I understand the importance of thinking and being positive and there's enough scientific evidence to prove that positive thinking helps even terminally ill patients in living longer.
However, there's a big difference between being positive, idealistic and utopian and responding to a situation calmly but understanding the threats.
My first response was that we shouldn't send our son to school. Minimize public contact and if it is unavoidable do so by taking adequate precautionary steps like wearing a face mask, carry alcohol gel and cleaning your hands after touching any object that is likely to have been touched by millions (e.g. door handles, shopping carts...)
The state of Nuevo Leon announced that all schools are to remain shut until May 6th. I don't plan to send my kid even after that not until things stabilize.
He doesn't even have an influenza vaccine. In Australia, it is not normally given to kids but to adults!
