Cheers!

By Claudia Pérez Atamoros

The head of this column is worth for three verbal expressions... The first one, to wish the sick person; the second one, to clink tequila glasses; and the third one, said after a sneeze...

Cheers! for those suffering from this new wave of COVID 19 and that according to the July 15 report of the Information System of the Serious Acute Respiratory Infection Network (Red IRAG) of the Ministry of Health are in a critical situation in any of the 14 medical units of the country and are added to the occupation of hospital beds ranging from 50% as in the case of the Hospital 20 de Noviembre of the ISSSTE to 100% as reported by the General Hospital Raymundo Abarca Alarcón of Guerrero or the General Hospital of Culiacán, among others. Authorities and specialists insist on "not to panic" and just stay alert to the symptoms, which this time are more stomach related.

Cheers! because today, July 24, is the International Tequila Day (in Mexico, the National Tequila Day is celebrated on March 19). The worldwide date was established on July 24, 2006 when UNESCO declared the World Heritage Day of the Agave Landscape.
