How shady is this? Apparently, Jalisco’s Health Board was never consulted for tonight’s New Year’s Eve festivities on the Malecon. https://contralinea.net/sin-autorizacion-de-la-mesa-de-salud-eventos-masivos-en-malecon-por-ano-nuevo/

There were 20+ cases of Omicron in Mexico four days ago. Four days later there are 250+. https://vallartaindependiente.com/2021/12/30/detectan-254-casos-de-variante-omicron-en-mexico/

Covid-19 is on the rise again in several states in Mexico, including Jalisco. http://www.noticiaspv.com.mx/covid-6-entidades-donde-han-aumentado-los-casos-activos/
