Six months after the COVID-19 pandemic struck Mexico and killed over 76,000 Mexicans, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said authorities would modify the strategy implemented to handle the pandemic. The President said that although contagions and deaths are decreasing, his administration will intensify its efforts to visit every home in a bid to register people who might have contracted the virus and convince them to go to a hospital. The change in the strategy aims to follow the program implemented by Mexico City, led by Claudia Sheinbaum and servery families regarding COVID-19 symptoms and immediately send them to a hospital to prevent contagions. Perhaps López Obrador is now listening to other opinions, and not only to Dr. López-Gatell .
It seems like the National Anti-AMLO Front ( FRENAAA ) took the President’s words too seriously, and now it is looking for 100,000 protesters.

A few hours later, FRENAAA called on people to join a protest on October 3 and said it would gather 100,000. Who is going to count them?
