Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced on Sunday he has tested positive for COVID-19.

Lopez Obrador tweeted that he is experiencing mild symptoms and has received medical treatment. "As always, I am optimistic," he said. "We will move forward." The president added that he will continue to work through his illness, and a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin scheduled for Monday will still take place.

Mexico has been hit hard by the coronavirus, with the country recording more than 1.7 million cases and at least 149,084 deaths. Close to 30 public hospitals in Mexico City have reported they are at 100 percent capacity, and residents there have been encouraged by the mayor to stay home as much as possible. Lopez Obrador has been criticized throughout the pandemic for his slow response, the fact that he rarely wears a mask, and the scarcity of testing across the country.

1. yeah, he said

mask wearing has not been scientifically proven to hinder the virus. It really is too bad that some people have to learn the hard way.

Yes, masks have scientifically been proven to hinder the virus.

2. And if we all wore N95 masks the outbreak would have died off almost completely.

We should have enough N95 masks for every person in the world for 5 months. (People would not need them at home during a lockdown so they would likely need at most 2 a week unless they are an essential worker). And have this supply stockpiled for the next airborn pandemic and nip the outbreak in the bud.
