without cars but with confusion

by

The low level of traffic in Calzada de Tlalpan allows Don Jesús to take a tab, since, he says, “I don’t even see people walking. It’s already 11:00 and I haven’t even sold a magazine, much less a newspaper. There they are, I’m not lying to you, ”he answers when asked if vehicular traffic has been like this all morning, before the new laws come into force. mobility restrictions that the governments of the capital of the country and the State of Mexico ordered.

What was experienced early on Calzada de Tlalpan was replicated in several primary roads of the City, after the program Today does not circulate evenly applies to all cars, regardless of whether the hologram is 0 or 00, which circulated daily until Wednesday.

Yesterday, the head of the Ministry of Mobility (Semovi), Andrés Lajous Loaeza, said that with the new provisions there were not around 860 thousand motor vehicles, which represent a fifth of the vehicle fleet in Mexico City.

However, the measure did not sit well with motorists, who questioned that if the idea is to reduce infections, forcing them to travel by public transport may be counterproductive, since there are more people there; just as it happened at the Garibaldi station, on Line 8 of the Metro, where people did not respect the healthy distance. They all crowded to enter or exit.

“In the seasons people will accumulate twice as much. In addition, first they say that the mask is mandatory, one arrives at Meter and you ask the police why they don’t bring the masks and they answer that is not mandatory. It is total confusion! ”Don Silverio complains.

In total 39 stations do not operate Collective Transportation System Metro and they say they are part of 20% that did not provide the service, so people, annoyed, assured that they had to spend more on their trips, on average of 10 additional pesos.

At Metrobus or Light Rail There were people who saw with surprise the passing of the units without stopping, did not know about the new provisions and were forced to walk in annoyance.

In the Mexican entity, in the municipalities of Toluca, Metepec and Zinacantepec, motorists, passengers and drivers ignored the restrictions.

Despite the fact that the agreement published by the Ministry of Mobility entered into force, where it stipulates that the use of mouthguards is mandatory for operators of the public passenger transport service, as well as the general public, almost nobody paid attention.

In the eastern area, Mexibus and Mexicable users, since yesterday, to those who do not use personal mouthguards from the operating companies, have been given one.

Alejandro Saldívar, president of the Board of Directors of Transmasivo, concessionaire of Line 1 that runs from Ciudad Azteca to Ojo de Agua, explained that they bought 100,000 mouthguards, with an investment of 750,000 pesos.

Discriminatory and illegal, Critical Medicine Resource Allocation Bioethics Guide: CNDH

by

MEXICO CITY (apro) .- The National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH) described the Bioethical Guide for the Allocation of Critical Medicine Resources, prepared by members of the General Health Council, as discriminatory and illegal. covid-19.

“Although it is a draft document, as far as it has been said, it has many possibilities of being implemented due to the size of the demand that the pandemic will impose on our health services,” the agency stressed.

The text, he added, “justifies that the Mexican State does not guarantee effective access to health goods to all patients with covid-19, in this case to critical medicine resources.”

Bioethics Guide, which prioritizes young people over older adults, “is a project”

In a pronouncement, the CNDH considered that the established criteria are discriminatory towards older people, “and places them at a disadvantage in access to critical medicine resources, which violates their right to health, life and personal integrity “

“It is delicate” that the Guide did not consider the creation of an ethics committee that allows medical teams to “make decisions that involve human lives”, and that the criteria for “the triage team should be applied ‘ideally’, which does not guarantees the appropriate decision in the respect and guarantee of the human rights of the patients with Covid-19 ”, he added.

From a constitutional point of view, the CNDH classified the Guide as “illegal” by invading the jurisdiction of the Judicial Power of the Federation, “by establishing that in the terms of article 128 of the Law of Amparo, Regulatory of Articles 103 and 107 of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, in the event that suspensions are requested by way of amparo regarding the decisions made in accordance with the Guide, they must be denied. ”

In this sense, he insisted that “the autonomy of the judges and magistrates is violated, who are the ones who have to study the matter, and decide on the granting of amparo, based on the constitutional block of human rights.”

However, the agency recognized that the Guide “is not binding, as it is a series of recommendations for workers in the health sector, and until now it has not been endorsed by all members of the General Health Council, so we are still in time to avoid its obligation and, therefore, its effects. ”

Likewise, he reiterated his concern “for the respect of the right to health of older people, which may be violated by following the proposal contained in the Bioethical Guide to Allocation of Critical Medicine Resources”, for which he urged the Council of General Health to attend to your observations.

In case of saturation, hospitals will give priority to young people over older adults

“The CNDH emphasizes the need for attention to the rights of older people in Mexico, who enjoy the same human rights and fundamental freedoms as other people, and that these rights, including the right not to be subjected to discrimination based on age or to any type of violence, they demand the dignity and equality, inherent to every human being ”, he pointed out.

Finally, he took advantage of the context to ask President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to sign and ratify the Inter-American Convention on the Protection of Human Rights of Older Persons, adopted on June 15, 2015 by the General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS ), which seeks to “promote, protect and ensure the recognition and full enjoyment and exercise under equal conditions of all human rights and fundamental freedoms of the elderly, in order to contribute to their full inclusion, integration and participation in society “

They are already preparing for the worst case scenario in eight states

by

With purchases of thousands of body bags, support for funeral expenses, opening of new crematoriums, expansion of cemeteries and even the excavation of a mass grave, at least eight states are ready for a catastrophic scenario due to the covid-19 crisis.

Baja California Sur, Mexico City, Durango, Hidalgo, Querétaro, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas and Veracruz have thus responded to the increase in deaths and infections.

In La Paz, BCS, the director of Panteones, Carmen Benítez, reported that a new crematorium will be opened and they are waiting for an oven – which they have just bought – to arrive next week.

Within days of entering the most critical stage, according to the estimation of the Ministry of Health, CdMx will publish in the official Gazette an aid protocol for funeral expenses, cremation and use of cemeteries.

The capital’s Ministry of Inclusion and Social Welfare reported that all that remains is to formalize collaboration agreements with funeral companies to provide the service.

In Durango, body bags have already been purchased, confirmed the state Secretary of Health, Sergio González, and commented that they already have a stock of ready-to-use material, “but hopefully it doesn’t come to that. You have to think about solving the issue. ”

The Official Branch of the Hidalgo government published the day before yesterday in its Official newspaper the call for public bidding for the acquisition of 1,760 bags for adult and children’s corpses.

These are 950 bags for adult bodies, made with odorant stabilizing plasticizing polyvinyl chloride resin, and 810 children’s bags with the same characteristics, in addition to another 42 biodegradable ones destined for hazardous waste and the same amount for infectious solid-biological waste from low density.

Another city council that is already preparing for the possibility of massive deaths from the pandemic is Querétaro, whose local Ministry of Public Services reported that it will make crypts available for victims of covid-19.

Once the council authorizes it, a thousand 24 places will be put up for sale that were built in the Cimatario Pantheon between November and December, as part of the maintenance work and expansion of spaces on the premises.

The authorities of Culiacán, Sinaloa, are looking for a land with at least a thousand spaces for those killed by the virus.

In Matamoros, Tamaulipas, a mass grave is enlisted to temporarily deposit corpses, in case the deaths from the coronavirus soar.

This week the excavation and preparation of graves began in the municipal pantheon of Santa Cruz, on the Matamoros-Reynosa highway.

The mayor of Xalapa, Veracruz, Hipólito Rodríguez, said that they are working on the expansion of cemeteries in case more spaces are required, as happens in the Bosques del Recuerdo pantheon. In addition, the Oaxaca government acquired 200 airtight bags for the victims for covid-19.

SSA AND SEGOB READ PROTOCOL

LAW PREVENTS INCINERATION OF BODIES

Over the next few days, the Secretaries of Health and the Interior will publish the criteria for the management of corpses and cremation will have to be eliminated during the health emergency in view of the reality of enforced disappearances that exist in Mexico.

The undersecretary of Health, Hugo López-Gatell, assured that from the beginning of the talks the impossibility of applying cremation was identified, since there is a provision in the General Law of Victims that prevents it.

“It is inadmissible to consider cremation despite the fact that it is recommended in health terms, but it does not substantially affect the removal of this requirement in terms of protection against contagion,” he said.

He explained that the provisions establish that at all times there must be the possibility of searching for and identifying the disappeared; therefore, this guideline will be eliminated, despite the fact that it was contemplated in phase 1 and 2.
