One
hundred million Mexicans remain vulnerable to the coronavirus
Mexico City, Mexico.- 75 percent of the country's population,
almost 100 million people, has not been exposed to the Sars-Cov-2 virus, so it
is a population group that does not have immunity, that should not neglect or
lower your guard and less trust in the vaccine because it is vulnerable to
infection.
Juan Ángel Rivera, director of the National Institute of Public
Health, acknowledged that with these figures Mexico is a country highly
susceptible to Covid-19 and no one has an immunity passport.
He added that the rest of the population, 25 percent,
approximately 31 million people, if they were exposed to the virus, as
determined by a national study on public health carried out in relation to
Covid-19, since the beginning of the pandemic in the month February and until
November 25.
Of this 25 percent, 70 percent never had symptoms, 10 percent
had some symptoms, and 20 percent did, which meant that there is a great speed
of spread: “This means that many people are asymptomatic , and we can be
transmitting without realizing it ”.
This 25 percent of Mexicans at this time have antibodies and by
age range the most affected group, 25 percent, was between 20 to 59 years,
followed by the group of 60 years or more, which although it was more
susceptible to the disease, apparently he cared more.
Although there are still not enough studies to determine it at
100 percent, but it is estimated that 25 percent of the population group with
antibodies could be subject to reinfection since there is no knowledge of how
long their resistance and protection lasts to a new viral discharge .
Finally, he rejected herd immunity as a solution, as has been done in other countries, since making everyone go out and get infected by more than 80 percent, would have a very high cost in people's lives, suffering and consequences. of the illness.
