• By April 2, 2020, only 116 days after the description of the first case of SARS-CoV2 virus infection, which causes the COVID-19 disease, 1,014,673 cases and 50,030 deaths have been recorded in 181 countries.1 In the United States, there have been 244,678 cases and 5,911 deaths recorded (in New York State alone, there are 93,053 cases and 2,538 deaths), while in Mexico, 1,378 cases and 37 deaths have been recorded. This number is expected to keep on increasing in both countries. The health system in Mexico, as well as in the rest of the world, will face an enormous problem in the months to come.
