Mexico's Pres. prays corona virus away, says amulets will protect him

[Lion Heart 15,041]

 

 

The President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) said that his “protective shield” against the coronavirus, the outbreak that left almost 9,000 dead worldwide, is “amulets and prayer”, the same day that the pandemic claimed the first fatality in Mexico.

“It stops the enemy, the heart of Jesus is with me. A two-dollar bill and a four-leaf clover. (…) Look, this is what protects, this is what people give me. They are my blackguards”, assured the president as he searched his wallet for his good luck charms protecting him from the worldwide pandemic.

The presidential address came after he was asked if there is a deadline for his Cabinet to have an action plan with economic measures to counter the coronavirus crisis.

The president’s response sparked strong criticism on social networks that was flooded with “memes” and comments on the fact that it was widely circulated on video.

“This is very common in people and I have other things because it is not only Catholicism, it is the evangelical legion and free thinkers who give me everything and everything I keep, because it does not hurt,” said the president.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his government have said a shutdown of the country would disproportionately hurt poor people and also be a psychological weight on all Mexicans. They say there is no reason to impose major restrictions before health officials deem them necessary — a moment they are expecting in late March, based on the virus’ pattern elsewhere and the Feb. 27 date of Mexico’s first confirmed case.

The approach is worrying many experts.

But it is the president’s personal attitude that has Mexicans puzzled. He continues to attend mass public rallies, shaking hands and kissing babies. Asked how he was protecting Mexico, López Obrador removed two religious amulets from his wallet and proudly showed them off.

“The protective shield is the ‘Get thee behind me, Satan,’” López Obrador said, reading off the inscription on the amulet, “Stop, enemy, for the Heart of Jesus is with me.”

Shame on AMLO for waiting so long to work with the US to restrict border travel. Californians were crossing to buy resources until they went on lockdown.

My state’s governor (Tabasco) decided to close everything today no matter what. We are trying our best here because we know how ****ed up the situation is and our hospitals are in decadence.
