While the coronavirus pandemic has led authorities around the globe to cancel concerts and sporting events, Mexico City is going ahead with Vive Latino — one of the most important music festivals in the country.

Thousands cheer the Vive Latino festival in Mexico City, Saturday, March 14, 2020. On Friday afternoon organizers confirmed that the 21st edition of the festival will go on as planned.

Concerns about the new COVID-19 illness were evident, though. At the entrance, the usual security checks for such events had a new filter: Each person entering was checked for fever and a strong smell of antibacterial gel permeated in the air. “Because I consider it is more a collective hysteria than any other thing. In Mexico we have a culture of a little bit more of hygiene that helps us to limit this kind of transmissions,” he said.

Only a few people showed up wearing masks, such as Daniel Ramirez, who covered his face with a mask decorated with a picture of a fox. He said he suffers from asthma and needs to be more cautious. He was also using antibacterial gel.“We have to be informed and before panicking you have to read some texts and know that it is serious but we are still in a passable stage,” Ramirez said of the outbreak.

Corruption much? Claudiashein 2 days later she comes out announcing the restriction of massive events Mexico nytimes

Que p**a vergüenza

Celebrities should do appearances from home that a network could broadcast on TV! It would help to distract us!

Not so important... only homeless go to that festival

we must thank for that 40,000 people event to our magnificent government headed by Claudiashein who is supported by our president lopezobrador_ , a president who belive it or not, publicly asks us to hug eachother in the middle of a pandemic crisis

For my Spanish speaking people 🐶🐻....

I’m sorry, not everyone in Mexico is this stupid

DesireeNavarro hasta Maduro ya hizo cuarentena nacional y aqui la idiota de la sheinbaum y el inutil de amlo no se dan cuenta. Que osoooo

🐻 qué pena 😓

lopezobrador_ somos la verguenza mundial gracias x mamdarnos a morir, nobte diferencias de ningunnregimen anterior, de verdad que asco de persona, ah por cierto , vote x ti, me arrepientobenormemente y estas notas no son del conservadurismo pero se que lo dira, como siempre 🤬

Our government are ignorant and irresponsible. Not all Mexicans are such idiots, many of us are at home doing what other countries suggest we have the worst president in history

Claudiashein siempre quedando muy bien.

BuildTheWall

Por eso en el mundo nos ven como simios.

Thousands of people not giving a f*** about the pandemic, but the artists could have dropped out but they decided to be part of the problema as well

This was a stupid decision of the gob! Our gob wants to kill our People, and worse, those People acepteed it! HLGatell lopezobrador_ Claudiashein ustedes idiotas quieren matar a México!!

Mexico is governed by some inept satrapas the president lopezobrador and the governor Claudiashein

This is how irresponsible our rulers are. They are only interested in doing their business. This government is the most corrupt and useless we have ever had.

Saca Prende Y sorprende

Pinches pendejos. The stupidity has just been on a nonstop winning streak lately.

What qualifies a music festival as 'important'?

That’s dumb

El régimen de ElCacas lopezobrador_ es una vergüenza para Mexico y un peligro para el Mundo. Contagios masivos! LaIgnoranciaDeLopezMata LaNegligenciaDeLopezEsCrimenDeEstado La Claudiashein ☠️👶🏻 y el inútil merolico de HLGatell CÓMPLICES!

Claudiashein una gran irresponsabilidad!

27 people were reported to assist while under fever effects

Meanwhile at Disney World ...

Well, we mexicans don't care about coronavirus, we have victoria, Bohemia, indio and other far better beers than that Corona shitty beer

It wasn't the only music festival on the weekend that haven't been cancelled. Not only government was irresponsible, but also assistants. Our society isn't ready for this.

Eso y muchas cosas más son las que dice El Cacas Obrador, hasta dónde llega su ignorancia

No mention of the 27 who were let in with a fever. And a government denying theres a pandemic. President telling people they should be hugging.

Yes i Know, is pathetic but Mexican president want to kill mexicans 🥺

Oh god, we’re going to die! Okno

Mira pinche tonto lopezobrador_ ,somos una burla internacional 👏🏻

jessguijarro Sobre los honbros de Claudiashein Totalmente

Mexicanos demostraron lo ignorantes que son.

Claudiashein lopezobrador_

tijuanapress Con este ACTO IRRESPONSABLE el gobierno morenista de la Ciudad de México de ClaudiaSheinbaum renombra éste festival con 'MATA LATINO'. SalvemosMéxico KakistocraciaNo

Me encanta que además de tener el periódico en Mexico en contra de la presidencia, por que sus hijos están involucrados en sectas de abusos contra mujeres. También tenemos que chutarse los trendings y que El Mundo Hable. Que tiene ?

Que inconsciencia de la gente 😡😠sobre todo de los organizadores del evento

We are in phase 1

Por irresponsabilidad de Claudiashein y el “presidente” lopezobrador_ “Primero lo económico dijo la señora Claudia!” For the irresponsibility of Claudiashein and the 'president' lopezobrador_ 'First the economic thing said Mrs. Claudia!'

Reafirmó cuando se mueran millones mas de personas ahi recien van a tomar conciencia...x algo se suspende recitales y demas ...q gente necia e ignorante q no respetan!

Que vergüenza

PLEASE BUILD THE WALL, WE DON'T WANT AMERICANS OVER HERE!

Si bien la pandemia de coronavirus ha llevado a las autoridades de todo el mundo a cancelar conciertos y eventos deportivos, Ciudad de México sigue adelante con Vive Latino, uno de los festivales de música más importantes del país.

Perdón pero López no tiene madre Con que va a curar a esa bola de ignorantes que fueron al concierto?Ellos por ignorantes pero No entiendo al populista Los quiere alagar y luego López?Los vas a dejar morir?🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

irresponsible Mexicans who wanted to go....nobody forced them to go

That's the sad truth in México 😣

DeniseDresserG

Increíble

He’s not my president

Just today Mexico finally cancelled soccer games. AMLO Is neglectful of Mexico.

marccrosas Recuerden Mexico esta en fase 1!! No mal informen.ademas cada quien es libre!! Free country!!

SoyFan10 The freaking vivelatino represents the lowest, dirtiest and rotten of the mexicans in what an ideological posture concerns!. This irresponsibility has a name —- Claudiashein

SoyFan10

ricardocarino Vais a infectaros todos. Q poca responsabilidad. No vayan al concierto x su Salud y la de sus mayores.

Claudiashein

DeniseDresserG Así es Claudiashein , primero el negocio, después la salud de los mexicanos. opsoms ONUDHmexico ONU_es OPSOMSMexico

More idiots

Oof. Not wise.

Bad idea

Fools

Maybe I missed this, but how is a music festival “important”?

Oh, México....

Ole’! Keep the music playing. 🎶

- WHO : 'Mexico, what have you learned fromt the swinflu crisis and pandemic?' - GobCDMX : 'WHO my friend, I haven't learned a thing'

Imagine that picture, the entire mass of people getting hit with the rage virus from 28 days later

Dumb

An irresponsible president, in an overpopulated country, where poverty rate is 40%,, that owns terrible public health systems... what could go wrong?

MarianneSauvage Pinche oso ! Carajo!

Good for them...BTW IS THE WALL DONE YET⁉️🤔

Horrible idea.

14 days later

Mexico already suffers from daily cartel violence. What's a few more deaths from Coronavirus? COVID19

Wow! If this isn't a scary situation, what happens if these people cross our border?

Brilliant.

Just like our airports 🤔

LeoAgusto Idiots.

Once everyone ends up fine, everyone will see...it’s all...FINE.

I’m supposed to go next month. This is selfish but an outbreak will screw up my trip.

Nuts.

idiots

Good. Don’t give in to the lying media.

As long as they stay on their side of the border, I’m fine with it!

After the concert they are coming here

Its fine. People get beheaded everyday there. Sarcasm.

Upsetting

Dumb

good, join the coronavirus infection party

When I see this and pictures of the airports and beaches - natural selection is the only thing that comes to mind.

Ban flights

And... this is why half of us supported building the wall.

Lol now trump has an excuse to keep them away from us

They shall reap the rewards!!!

🤦🏾‍♀️

We need to finish up this dat-gum wall ASAP

Close the border!

See this part of the problem. Many parts of the world are actually taking precautions, and then this. We ALL need to come together and help curb this problem. This will not help matters if they are not taking it seriously.

BuildTheWall

Weirdos

Refunds should of been offered here but they weren’t.

The numbers or coronavirus from this concert will not be small. They should of cancelled this event.

We have too many pple in Mexico City anyway. We welcome a good thinning of the population. teamthanos

Latinoamérica literalmente le vale verga el virus

While Americans are running scared from their own shadows and hiding in their basements, Mexicans are living their best life. That's life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

The government is too obsessed with the economy.

Never thought I'd be supporting 'Build the Wall' Great

This was insane

I am so embarrassed of the law, the government and the president we have in Mexico 😖

Cue: Corona Virus’s entrance stage left.

Because our president is an idiot AMLO Mexico

🤦‍♀️

Bad move...

The reason for the sudden onset in Korea was the large church service. festival? During enjoyment, there will be massive droplet infection.

'Important' is a relative term

Close the damn borders, well lock down every state and leave the borders open,makes no sense, it's not racist libs, Europeans are banned too

Then close our borders!!

Damn mexico tryna cut there population quick!

In 2 weeks Mexico will be Italy and everyone will wonder why

ImRivqa Gracias, HLGatell quiero ver cuánto crecen los números en los próximos días y cómo van a actuar ante todos esos nuevos casos.

Close those borders

Truly... Last dance! ✌️🍺🙏

Es muy malo idea

People look to their leaders for guidance and unfortunately Mexico’s President is just as clueless.... 🙏🏼😱😷

Not smart you guys.

The virus doesn't love heat but it isn't too bad

We are funny like that 😂😭

Have fun, kids. 🤮🚑🚑🚑🏥

Darwin

in Mexico there will be many cases that will go unnoticed because the tests are not very accessible and also the idiosyncrasy of the Mexican is that it does not matter to me nothing happens to me and there will be no quarantines, I repeat please world help us hurry !! 2/2

Ok, I want the wall now. Sign me up.

Mexicans DGAF

*o*

HelloDF City manager Claudiashein GobCDMX and organizer ocesa ocesa_total wouldn't cancel it because of financial losses and contractual problems. We are ruled by assholes down here :(

COVID is so 2019.

Had a friend in mexico say 'mexicans aren't americans' when i told her last week she should start preparing for pandemic... welp. So much for that!

Es muy stupido.

Mexicans watch the news around the globe, so be smart and do what is safer not to catch the virus.

Go for it .

I’m Mexican and I’m not surprised at all!! A la verga elpinche virus putos

Really World : help us !, SOS, our president is a socialist he does not understand reasons his health secretaries manipulate them as he wishes, he kisses and hugs everyone, coronavirus is a plot against him and his government is crazy 1/2

Stupid considering the President of Mexico is contemplating keeping Americans out due to the virus. Yeah, good luck with that.

So the US is not the most inept. Hooray USA?

It would not be strange if Mexico is in a few days the epicenter of the coronavirus COVIDー19 COVID19 Covid_19 in the American continent, unless Donal Trump tells López Obrador to close its borders as migrants 🙄 ViveLatino vivelatino2020

That's stupid.

Pendejos!

👍🏽 Claudiashein lopezobrador_

veronicalderon Aquí les hablan Claudiashein y lopezobrador_ irresponsables!!

And Mole Comic-Con , no f*cks give xd

Huh. And did they close the border to keep our 🦠 out 🧐

Betcha NOW you wished we had that wall! I know...Trumps fault.

That's probably not a good call

Is POTUS DO AS HE SAYS? Keep US safe? Mexico is the biggest exporter into US & if not taking the pandemic seriously, is realDonaldTrump going to take action? Inflow OF ANYTHING from Mexico MUST BE BANNED; NO MORE PEOPLE. FOOD OR ITEMS into US. Imagine 100,000 gathering & VIRUS!

Meanwhile in America...

Poor health care workers that will have to deal with this later. Selfish people lots of you.

Yes, they can go to concerts and festivals and have fun because they have been good. They do not have a pandemic there. Thank you big Orange Man for building that big strong wall to keep my Mexican freinds safe from America's plague.

Build the wall realDonaldTrump

the_k_mada see ur ohare and raise u this

And Hispanics in the US don't know what is at stake. Isolated and cut off, they see messages to stay home and avoid touch as foreign. Hope this bug leads us to union.

Trump should ban travel from Mexico to the us then

May be we are over reacting about this virus. Some countries don't care that much. And in some countries its not a big deal. Its strange situation.

Pendejo PresidenteDeMX esto va quedar escrito en historia!

If it’s not this, then it’s a St Patty’s day booze-a-thon. Why the hell can’t people just stay the F home?!

Guess time will tell if they get the Philadelphia Parade effect.

Great news for Trump. Now he has a strong reason to build the wall.

🗣build that wall 🗣build that wall 🗣build that wall

Thats a death wish for millions

Corona plenty ....

Natural selection

'We are going to build a wall, and Mexico is going to pay for It!' Said the orange man in a white house.

Viva la mexico

Breaking News: Mexico reports 300 new cases.

WHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYY!!!!

All to death

How foolish can people be, there not just risking their own life. The are endangering how many others. People please don't be selfish & careless. Life is much more important than activities. Savelivesdontendangerthem! Teamearthcanbeatcoronavirus.

Looks like a great idea.

Good

Fuuuuuuucccckkkk, I been bragging about us....Shit!

The English went ahead with Cheltenham horse racing, thousands of people crammed together & in the US right now, ppl arrive from Europe crammed together for several hours at 2 Airports, before being let go home. All potential virus carriers.

Dumb.

You're going to kill another few thousand people as a result.

This is NOT going to end well for Mexico!

The hope is that the lag in pandemic response decreases as global COVID-19 data increase. That’s the hope—not the reality.

I guess they don’t care about their elders!

WHY DONT THEY DELAY IT

It’s because both of our presidents are morons and don’t believe anyone is going to get sick. Neither one are preparing their country for this global pandemic that’s going to cost the lives of thousands, if not more. Idiots Pendejos COVIDー19

No reason for them to shut down the border now.

What is the status of the Mexican healthcare system? Could it handle a major outbreak such as the ones being recorded in Italy or China?

Día de Muertos

lopezobrador_

Bring on the boomer doomer.

Then they should not come crying to the US to let them in when covid sweeps across the country

Un grave error. Después lo lamentaran, deben posponerlo.

Biggest petri dish ever

Shut down the border

Good for them

I'm sure there's at least 6 nanometers between each pair of people.

Coronavirus cant cross the wall. Thanks Mr president 😄

Stupid

Um yeah, not smart. Better hope the narcos have a quarantine plan to implement.

It seems tropical countries are okay.

Stupidity and irresponsibility. LeonidasVilchez MuyConfusa

Pretty smart
