Quote: “When [Mexican President] López Obrador was still kissing babies at rallies and comparing the virus to the flu, Ms. Sheinbaum was planning for a long pandemic. She pushed an aggressive testing and contact tracing campaign. She set up testing kiosks where people get swabbed for free. And she required that everyone in Mexico City use face coverings on public transportation, donning a mask every time she addressed the press.”
