It is very important to understand the facts under these circumstances.

– Only 10% of the number originally stated by the media
-Population of Mexico City: 26.7 million people
-Relative percentage of people infected in Mexico City: 5 ten millionths of one percent.
-The United States reports 38,000 deaths per year to the regular flu
-According to Quintana Roo State Secretary of Tourism, no fatal cases of influenza have been reported in the main tourism destinations: Cancun, Riviera Maya, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Nayarit and Huatulco
