The United States’ response was slower, mass media began to discuss the disease during the last week of April when they shut down schools and launched some possible solutions to fight the virus. Cases in the U.S. started with a Mexican baby who died of the AH1N1 flu. Mass media notified the entire world about the cases in the American continent and also in Europe, Israel, Australia and New Zealand, this action caused a worldwide panic.
Their particular governments reinforced the public’s strong reaction as they changed their attitude towards Mexico and its tourists. The Mexicans who traveled around in different countries when the outbreak took place resented this hostile treatment. For instance, Mexican tourists who were in China were asked to leave in two jumbo jets, and they had previously been isolated in hotels across the country.
The massive broadcasting of Human Flu related news caused that both Mexico and the United States got distracted from other issues such as the economic crisis and negotiations regarding their partnership and migration laws. The citizens stopped thinking about the decrease in the gross internal product, the recession and mainly unemployment. This was true in a lesser extent in Mexico due to the severe crisis caused by the pause on all the economic sectors, mainly in tourism. All of this along with the Chrysler crisis severely affected Mexico since they have almost 450 thousand employees whose salaries depend on the company’s plant in the state of Coahuila.

All this thing related to the human flu has caused a lot of controversy around the world. It's unacceptable that countries like China decided to turn out all the mexican people that was in that country only because they thought that they were going to become infected of this illness. All the things related to this disease were really unexpected. Mexican people would never imagine that they would have to stay home without going to work or to school. It was really hard because many people, like those who work at restaurants lost a lot of money because the government decided to close all the restaurants in order to stop the virus. Obviously, Mexico's economy was truly afected and now, lots of people have to go back to work and do their best to recover the money they could not earn in that week. Now, mexican government has to focus on Mexico's economy as well as the recesion and unemployment wich is more common every day. Government should solve this problems as well as they decided to solve the problem related to this huge human flu.
ReplyDeleteI think that the case that Mexico confront in these times of crisis and now in a " delicate case" of health, is a essencial factor, for the economy of the nation, Now we can see that the present econoic situation in the mexican nation is delicate, the finance secretary had stated that the mexican ecomony has entered in a state of recession by the currents events that afect the movement of the mexican ecomony.
ReplyDeleteNow a strange rumor, and the ilogical actions of government (hasty), create dudes in the national population.
Now we have to wait and see if the consequences that will bring to future for the Mexican economy.
For finish i want to make a question:
¿ In in less than two weeks the Mexican government achieving control an epidemic of such dimensions?
