  1. In case anyone was interested - Translation from this afternoon’s address to our state by our governor, Enrique Alfaro. (Here is the video link: https://www.facebook.com/EnriqueAlfaroR/videos/244498123347137/ ) UDG presented the results from the plan that was put in place on March 12. These results gave us the necessary scientific backing to make further decisions. The strategy we designed worked and it worked well. Jalisco’s increase in cases was 196%, while the national increase was 389% The virus spread in CDMX 2.5 times faster than in Jalisco. The state of Mexico is now way over Jalisco with an increase of 750%. The timing for Jalisco to mobilize a strategy came when the federal government was still minimizing the problem. We chose to make our own decisions because we understood the priority of acting now. We didn’t do it to confront others. We did it because we had no other choice and because of the recommendations made by our science experts and the World Health Organization. We put the health of Jalisco residents above everything else. Time proved us right. But we cannot claim a victory yet. Today the federal government has reacted and our president has changed his approach. I want to express to our president that he can count on us. We join our president in supporting his request to remain in isolation until April 19. We support our federal government if he declares a national sanitary emergency if it comes to that. We know how to raise our voice against the federal government when we don’t agree with their policies, but we also know to support the federal government when their commitment is well-founded. We insist on our desire to close our airports to flights coming from danger areas, but we cannot do this without our president’s support. We insist on wanting to do massive testing but cannot do so until the federal government approves the importation of such tests. As governor, I’ll continue leading with all the initiatives necessary to protect our people. In the next few hours, I will deploy our hospital conversion strategy to be prepared when needed. I will continue to provide support for small businesses and those that need the most support. I ask all municipalities to implement all the measures we have established and to keep their populations well informed. We will not relax. We are doing everything we can to protect Jalisco. We must stay at home, except for the essential, particularly those at risk: those over 60, diabetes or hypertension, pregnancy or those with respiratory symptoms. Some people have to go out to look after all of us, doctors, physicians, folks that work in supermarkets and so forth. If we keep 60 percent of us stayed at home, by April 19, we can have between 184-194 new cases. In contrast, if only 40 percent of us stayed at home, by that date we could have between 1514-1718 new cases. It is that important. So we must continue to follow our guidelines between now and April 19. Semana Santa is coming up. And that doesn’t mean stay at home now and then stay at home at a vacation destination. Not only are you putting your family at risk, but you are also putting our state at risk. Going on vacation means bringing the virus elsewhere. We know this is not easy. Believe me, we don’t enjoy doing this. This is an emergency. Our families and their health are at stake. This is the moment for national unity. The moment to take ourselves seriously. This is the time for co-responsibility. Each one of us must do our part. Let’s put aside our differences. We are in the middle of an emergency. Mexico needs us. Jalisco is ready to do our share.
