Member Webex: The Implications of Mexico's COVID-19 Response

Is Mexico flattening the curve, using a vanguard testing approach, or is it simply not testing for coronavirus enough? Is President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s economic plan in the face of the pandemic a model for other countries, or will Mexican workers get left out in the cold?

Amid questions about whether COVID-19 will hit the country like a wave or a tsunami, AS/COA hosts a timely, far-reaching discussion with political analyst and journalist Carlos Bravo Regidor and economist Valeria Moy to analyze key aspects and implications of Mexico’s response to the pandemic. The conversation will also delve into Mexican public sentiment about the government's actions to address the health crisis and the outlook in light of the president’s economic plan.
