If you are looking where to see the astronomical phenomenon of the yearin Xataka have the definitive solar eclipse map. In it, you can check the percentage of the Sun that will be hidden by the Moon in your city, but also thoroughly analyze the strip of totality. Are you looking for a mountain place with skies free of light pollution? Do you prefer a small charming town? Do you want to know the exact time at which the solar eclipse will take place at your viewing location? You have everything just a click away. How does the solar eclipse map work? At first glance, our solar eclipse map is similar to most maps of this style that have been published lately. The emphasis is on marking the strip of totality, since inside it are all the locations where the total solar eclipse can be seen. However, in the legend we can mark specific details that may be of interest when observing this type of astronomical phenomena. For example, it is not the same to see the eclipse in a big city as in a small townof even less than 1,000 inhabitants. There are those who prefer the first and those who opt for the second. On the other hand, for this type of activities the ideal is to be located in points with clean skies, as free as possible from light pollution. This is accredited by the starlight certificationsince it is only granted to protected natural spaces committed to the preservation of the night sky and access to starlight. Therefore, on the map we can also see all the points with said certification. On the other hand, it should be noted that the stripe of totality is represented with a purple whose intensity increases directly proportional to the duration of said totality. This eclipse will have its maximum totality in Iceland, where it will slightly exceed 2 minutes. In Spain, however, the longest totality will be 1 minute and 50 secondsin a very small area of ​​Asturias. Other information On the solar eclipse map you can also see the time at which the eclipse will begin and end in each area. In addition, the time at which the Sun will set is included. It is important, because in many cases it will do so while still eclipsed. It is one of the facts that makes this eclipse so special. When it occurs near sunset, the Sun will already be very low and close to the horizon. The lower you go, the clearer the west should be of mountains and buildings. Therefore, the height at which the Sun will be at the peak of the eclipse is also included. This will allow us to better organize our possible observation places. It is always good to think about several options, in case an unexpected cloud ruins the first one for us. In any case, this is still an interactive map, so it is best that you be the one to tinker with all its options. Surely, if you have decided to get on the bandwagon of this eclipse, you will find it very useful.

“Check the insurance coverage carefully. You don’t always need the most expensive one”

by

Summer is coming, the heat, trips to the beach and doubts in front of the rental car counter. Restrictions, company policies that you had not considered and insurance clauses that you did not imagine and that, of course, you can fix with a few more euros. But the latter is not always the best option. At least, that is what experts consider who are clear about what you should do: read the fine print and sign only if you are convinced. Rastreator, OCU and AXA agree on the latter. The first thing. “The first thing is to check what coverage the insurance offered by the rental company really includes, since, although all cars have mandatory insurance, it does not always protect against all unforeseen events,” he points out. Patricia Carrilspecialist Tracker. The insurance and rental car comparison company is clear that “it is not always necessary to hire the most expensive option to travel with peace of mind. A balanced insurance should cover damage to the vehicle, theft and civil liability, in addition to having an acceptable deductible. The franchise. The excess is the money that we will have to put out of our pocket if the car suffers an unforeseen event. Imagine that you rent a car and that the insurance has a deductible of 150 euros. This means that if the repair costs 80 euros, we will pay the 80 euros. But if the fix costs 1,000 euros, we will only have to face 150 euros. According to the OCU“companies offer Premium insurance by default, making it difficult for customers to find cheaper options” but, even so, there are many occasions in which they “require users to disproportionate bail (and they do not inform about the deadlines and conditions for returning that money)”. The restrictions. Another thing that is solved by reading carefully what we are hiring is being aware of the restrictions to which we submit as drivers. Francisco Olmedodirector of P&C Private Offering AXA Spain is clear that the most frequent are: The age and years of service of the driver: we must know if there are restrictions based on age or years of driving license since we run the risk that the insurance will not cover the damages. Road coverage: it is important to know well what the insurance covers if we have a problem on the road and if there is any type of mileage limitation. Know the criteria for the deductibles: Olmedo assures that “in the event of a blow to the front and another graze on the side, two accidents with two deductibles can be considered” so the driver would have to pay twice Do I add anything? For Rastreator, the most interesting thing is to add window and tire coverage because they are the most common, especially if you are going to drive for a long time, park on the street or travel on secondary roads. “The objective is to find the balance between protection and price; a policy that is too basic can be expensive if an unforeseen event arises,” they explain. In addition, we must be very clear about all the details that may affect our trip. If we are going to cross the border we must point it out because in some contracts you have to pay extra money. We can also add accessories such as children’s seats. An essential. What they are clear about at Rastreator is that theft coverage cannot be missing. “If the car disappears during the rental, the driver may have to bear a very high cost,” they explain. From OCU they point to another essential: knowing what we sign. They remember that in no case should a contract be signed without being clear about what is being signed and that the documents must be clear about details such as when a deposit is returned, how long the money can be withheld and in what amount to pay a deposit or the mandatory requirements to be met when returning the car such as maximum mileage or the level of the gasoline tank.

“Many do not check the air conditioning gas because they do not spend 60 euros and the breakdown is 400”

by

To no one’s surprise, this weekend it will be hot. The news is not that it will be hot in Spain the first weekend of July, the news is that we are on our way to burning this summer. To lighten the drama a little, we can look for remedies to cool our houses, get the most out of our air conditioning and strictly follow the usual recommendations so as not to cause new health problems. But although it is recommended that we leave the long trips for the less hot hours of the day, we all know that is not always possible. The heat, a car full to the brim and a vehicle that has not been serviced in a timely manner are the best ingredients for having a problem. One that can leave us stranded in the ditch, which is not always pleasant when the sun beats down on the asphalt. The key is foresight (of course) Just as when we go on a trip we mentally write down a few details to take into account (take some water for the road, look for the least hot hours, keep an eye on Google Maps and look for a place to eat…), doing the same with our car before leaving will also save us a lot of trouble. “The key is to anticipate,” he assures us. Xavier Celda, Market Manager, Workshop Specialist at Norauto Spain. “The best remedy is always preventive maintenance. Have the car ready and checked to prevent all this from happening as much as possible.” They think the same from Midas. Francisco Javier Fuentes, mechanic and trainer at Midas Spainpoints out that “the best way to avoid breakdowns resulting from heat is to opt for preventive maintenance.” And both focus on four key points to review: Coolant liquid Tires Battery Air-conditioning Given the high heat that we have to face, Xavier Celda is clear that the first thing to look at is “the coolant. We must check that it is at the correct levels and, above all, that it has not lost its properties (it is recommended to replace it every 2 or 4 years according to the manufacturer).” And he warns: “a small leak or not changing this fluid can cause extreme overheating in the engine. This usually leads to the breakage of the head gasket, one of the most feared breakdowns whose cost on the market can exceed 1,000 euros, depending on the model.” Francisco Javier Fuentes makes the same recommendation but points out something very important: “in case of overheating, I never recommend opening the coolant tank while the engine is hot, since there is a risk of serious burns. The best thing to do is to turn off the engine, wait for it to cool and call for assistance. if required”. Checking the tires, they both match, it is essential. Always when cold, we must check the tire pressures and follow the manufacturer’s instructions if we are going to fill the trunk with packages and the passenger compartment. Firstly because any imbalance will cause constant deterioration of the moving parts of the car but, above all, for a matter of safety. And not having adequate pressure can cause greater instability, lengthen braking or, if wear is excessive, induce a blowout. The most frequent breakdowns Although this is the most important thing to look at before leaving home, Norauto and Midas point out two major victims due to the heat. The most common fault, according to both experts, is the battery. “Extreme heat accelerates the degradation of the internal components of the battery and evaporates water from the electrolyte. It is the number one cause of roadside assistance in summer and one of the main reasons why people visit our workshops during these months of intense heat,” they explain from Norauto. And they repeat from Midas: “The battery is sensitive to temperatures above 25 °C. (As a result of extreme heat) its useful life is reduced when it is continuously exposed to high temperatures.” This fault can leave us stranded at any point when we have stopped the car but there is another big signal that can leave us stranded while moving. It is not essential to continue but it has become essential to travel comfortably. It is, of course, the air conditioning. Xavier Celda, from Norauto, is clear that investing a few euros can save us a major breakdown and, above all, the inconveniences of not being able to have air conditioning: “Many drivers do not refill the gas or check the circuit until the air stops cooling completely. The problem is that forcing the system to work at the limit without the appropriate level of gas and oil can end up seizing the air conditioning compressor, a part whose replacement costs more than 400 euros, compared to the 60 or 90 euros that a recharge and preventive diagnosis costs” And although we think of air conditioning as an element of comfort, it is also an element of security. According to the Foundation for Road Safety (FESVIAL)“driving at a temperature of 35ºC, inside a vehicle, can represent a risk similar to that of being under the influence of a blood alcohol level between 0.5 and 0.8 gr/l.” According to their data, when driving with such a high interior temperature, “approximately 20% of traffic signs are not perceived and serious driver errors increase by up to 35%.” In fact, they claim that the probability of suffering an accident increases between 15 and 25%.

They have found a 1968 vampire film that they thought was destroyed for being too scary. Now we can check it

by

A projectionist at a cinema in the British county of Dorset opened a rusty film can in a warehouse. It was an episode of a series that had been missing for years and about which the legend had spread that it was too scary. However, the explanation for its disappearance was much more mundane: the same reasons why seventy percent of British television programming at the time had disappeared (or so it was believed). What they found. On May 23, the film preservation organization Film is Fabulous! announced the discovery. Darren Payne, a projectionist and technician who runs the 35mm film exhibition collective ‘Dirt in the Gate Movies’, commissioned a small collection of film reels that was about to be destroyed. One of the cans had handwritten, without further detail, ‘Late Night Horror’. “I’m a horror fan and the title resonated with me,” Payne explained. He took the film home, screened it on his own computer, and what he saw left him speechless: the first episode of a series that had been believed to have been destroyed for more than half a century. Nothing like a vampire. ‘No Such Thing as a Vampire’ is the pilot episode of ‘Late Night Horror’, a series of six 25-minute episodes that BBC2 broadcast in the spring of 1968. It was the network’s first color horror production, although the recovered print is in black and white: a 16mm secondary run made for international distribution before the color masters were removed. What is it about? The script was based on a story by the great Richard Matheson, a writer to whom the fantastic Anglo-Saxon owes, among other things, the founding novel ‘I am legend’ and 16 episodes of the original series of ‘The Twilight Zone’. The plot follows a woman who appears paler and weaker every morning, with marks on her neck, while her husband and the family doctor discuss whether or not there is a vampire in the town. The answer is the kind of twist that Matheson was adept at: rational, disturbing and with a bitter aftertaste. Who is behind. The direction was, amazingly, by a woman: Paddy Russellwho at that time was already an exceptional figure at the BBC. She was the first female plant manager of the entity and one of the first two directors of the chain, at a time when the technical teams were dominated by men to the point that the name with which she appeared in the reports (Paddy is a diminutive of Patricia, but can be perceived as an acronym for Patrick) also functioned as a kind of protection. Russell directed two of the six episodes of ‘Late Night Horror’: the first, now recovered, and ‘The Corpse Can’t Play’, the only one that was already known. With this discovery, his complete work in the series once again exists. The episode aired on 19 April 1968 at 10:55 pm and attracted 1.8 million viewers, the highest audience of the series and one of the highest BBC2 had recorded since its launch in 1964. The legend. This is where we must clarify the legend of “the episode that was destroyed because it was too terrifying”, a rumor that has been spreading on the internet mainly due to the creepy credits of the series. Actuallybetween the mid-1950s and mid-1970s, the BBC eliminated between 60 and 70% of its television production due to company policy: two-inch tape masters were very expensive, union contracts prohibited more than one or two rebroadcasts, and there was no legal obligation to archive the material. It was not until 1981 that the BBC began to retain its archives. ‘Dr. Who’ is the case of the most famous series with episodes lost due to this policy. ‘Late Night Horror’ disappeared, exactly like hundreds of other shows disappeared. That is why a 16mm copy has been found: it was certainly not in BBC warehouses. With this international material, lost episodes of ‘Doctor Who’ have also been recovered. It will be seen. At the moment the BBC is investigating whether it is technically possible to recover the original color through chromatic restoration processes, since the episode was recorded in color but only survived in black and white. And there will be a grand premiere: on September 20, 2026, as part of Grindfest. It will be the first time the episode has been seen since its only showing in 1969. Who knows if they will appear in some forgotten warehouse. Like a horror movie.

TikTok now has an answer for those who don’t want to see ads: check out

by

Consuming social networks for free and without any type of advertisement is something that has been disappearing for years. Bombarding with advertising to later launch a payment model is something that applications like Instagram learned very well, and now TikTok is beginning to follow in its footsteps. TikTok Ad-Free. TikTok began testing a payment model back in 2023 in the United Statesan idea that did not spread beyond American territory. The company now makes official TikTok Ad-Free in UKopening the ban to expand it to the rest of the regions. How it works. The company has announced that, “in the coming months”, users over 18 years of age will be able to gradually subscribe to the new advertising-free option, TikTok Ad-Free. Those who continue using the free version will see no changes, and will see personalized ads. The price is £3.99 per month, in exchange for not seeing a single ad on TikTok and our data not being used for advertising purposes. It’s something that sounds familiar to us. Instagram Vibes. In 2024, Meta gave his ultimatum: either it was checked out or our information would be used for advertising purposes to show us the relevant advertisements. On Instagram they went a step further, since paying users not only got rid of ads: they got a verification badge and got more “love” from Instagram in terms of the visibility of their own account if they were a content creator. Why is it important. TikTok is in the crosshairs of the European Commissionas you consider your ad library to be non-compliant the Digital Services Law. The social network will have to be especially careful when implementing measures related to ads and data collection, even more so if billing is involved. In the same way, the fact that TikTok has given free rein to its subscription monetization model (although its application is not immediate), closes a circle of services that we use on a daily basis and that, whether we like it or not, force us to checkout if we do not want to see ads. And if not, Tell them to the paid version of WhatsApp. The big question. If you’re wondering when TikTok Ad-Free will arrive in Europe, the answer is that we don’t know yet. What seems inevitable is that this ends up happening, after the test in the United States and its progressive implementation in the United Kingdom. In Xataka | TikTok’s infinite scroll has just entered the EU’s crosshairs: Brussels marks it as “addictive design” and demands change

The fuel crisis is putting airlines in check. And Ryanair already knows where to start cutting: Spain

by

Your flight has been cancelled. Since the United States and Israel attacked Iran for the first time two months ago, fear of a new oil crisis has skyrocketed. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has put fuel supplies in check since then and the aviation sector has been one of the most affected. Among the consequences, we have seen a serious increase in the cost of flights but also cancellations. Ryanair is clear about where it will cut flights from if necessary. What has happened? The CEO of Ryanair has launched a new threat: “if the situation continues, the first place we have in mind are the Spanish regional airports.” The words are from Eddie Wilson and have been collected by the newspaper ABC. That “if the situation continues” refers, of course, to the oil blockades in the Strait of Hormuz. And the company has once again raised its threats against the Government of Spain. Coinciding with the day in which Aena has distributed dividends among its partners, Ryanair has taken the opportunity to confirm that it will cut 1.2 million places this summer available at Spanish airports. And asked about how they face a possible fuel shortage, Wilson has once again taken the opportunity to question the viability of their activities at Spanish regional airports. What has been confirmed? Ryanair has been warning for months that it was going to cut operations this summer at Spanish airports if the Government did not reverse the increase in Aena airport taxes in the 2027-2031 cycle. Last Monday, the airline was ratified although it did not make it clear which airports will be the most punished. They do point out that with the extension of these cuts, in 18 months they have stopped offering three million places in our country (once the summer cut is consolidated). On the contrary, Morocco and Italy will grow by 11% and 9%, respectively. Of course, it is true that Regional airports are suffering with the departure of Ryanair but the size of the cut is misleading because, at the same time, its commitment to larger airports has been maintained or even expanded. And the new threat? The new threat is the possibility of scrapping more flights if Ryanair runs out of fuel. It seems logical that when prioritizing fuel, the company opts for larger airports where the flight occupancy rate will be higher or there is a greater chance of this being the case. In the month of April we have seen many cancellations from both American companies and United either Delta even the Asian ones like Air New Zealandpassing through the entire European framework as SAS or the Lufthansa Group, Wizz Air and easyJet (among others). And the CEO of easyJet already publicly warned that the situation in Europe could become seriously complicated starting in mid-May. How much real threat and imposted threat is there in Wilson’s words? It is difficult to know because it is impossible to know how much fuel Ryanair has or to what extent the company is willing to pay for kerosene before losing money. (or not earning what they consider enough). Because? The air sector is one of the most affected by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The increase in fuel prices losses are skyrocketing and Lufthansa will cancel more than 20,000 flights according to Financial Times to patch the rise in prices. The result, as we see, is fewer flights, more expensive flights or airlines that take advantage of the reduction in supply to tighten the nuts more for the passengers. They are the consequences of moving with a type of fuel that very little stock is handled in warehouses. The kerosene used by airplanes is delicate to store because it can quickly lose its properties. And International Air Transport Association (IATA), already warned that rebuild damaged refining capacity in the Middle East will take months. The forecasts for summer are not good. And it is clear that, if cuts have to be made, they will be cut where the least benefit is obtained.

the war in Iran has put it in check

by

Between Galicia and Tehran there are more than 5,000 km and the situation experienced in the Iberian Peninsula bears little or no resemblance to that which crosses the Persian Gulf. However, a server here, who writes these lines from Galician lands, has found that the situation in the Middle East has turned his travel plans upside down. And he is not the only one. Throughout Europe (and beyond) thousands of people are rethinking their vacations due to instability in the Gulf, which already threatens alter the flows of international tourism in the short term. The reason is very simple: the Middle East is not only a key player in the oil market (something already crucial in itself), it is also a key player in the map of air interconnections, especially between Europe and Asia. And that affects those who plan to fly this year to Vietnam, Japan or Thailand, among other destinations. A turbulent sector. Beyond Iranian politics, the energy market or the general threat that the rise in crude oil ended up moving to the shopping cart, there is a sector that is suffering in a very special way from what is happening in the Middle East: tourism. The Gulf is not only one of the great lungs of the oil industry, it is also a crucial piece on the tourism map. Firstly, due to the growing attractiveness of destinations like Dubai, especially among expats. Second (and this is the key) because in recent decades the region has managed to establish itself as the great connecting node between Europe, Asia and Africa. How important the Gulf is to the operations of international airlines became clear in the days following the US-Israeli attack on Iran. Tehran’s response, which launched attacks on its neighbors in retaliation for the support they provide to the United States, left out of play to airports such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha or Kuwait (among others), unleashing what some analysts consider the biggest crisis aeronautics since the pandemic. Was it that serious? Yes. And so we tell you at the time. That airfields like Dubai had to close their doors for security reasons affected thousands of Western expats who suddenly found themselves without options to return to their countries. The situation reached the point that some drove for hours to try their luck in Oman. Others paid large sums to charter jets. The fact is that the expats were not the only ones harmed. The ‘shock wave’ of the war also hit Western tourists who were on vacation in Asia and overnight they found that the Middle East terminals where they had to make a stopover to return to Europe (Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi) were blocked. A young Spanish woman complained in X those days of being “stuck” in Thailand. “The flights are for 4,000 euros or there is overbooking“, he lamented. The Government ended repatriating tourists from the Middle East. And the hangover came. This was more than a week ago, but that does not mean that the waters have returned to normal in airport operations, much less in the tourism sector. To begin with, because part of the Gulf is still an untouchable area for airlines. It comes with taking a look at Flight Radar’s flight monitoring maps to see the huge gap which remains open mainly on Iran, Iraq, Syria and Jordan. Emirates advertisement. Airspace slopes. The reality as of March 17 is that the war continues to condition airline operations in the area. In your last part Regarding traffic, OPS Group confirmed on Monday that a large part of the airspace in the Middle East remains marked by conflict, either closed (Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait and Syria) or subject to more or less restricted operations, as is the case above all in Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar. In fact the platform remember that the most common corridor in the Persian Gulf for flights between Europe and Asia remains greatly altered by the war, which is leading airlines to look for alternative routes, either diverting north, towards the Caucasus, or south, through Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Oman. What do the companies say? The Middle East not only stands out for its geographical position. It is also home to some of the most important airlines in the sector, such as Qatar Airways, Emirates and Etihad. And their grills are still far from being normalized. Just yesterday Al Jazeera informed that Qatar Airways has announced a program of limited flights to and from Doha due to the war. In fact, its operations will remain restricted at least until March 28. “Qatar Airways’ scheduled flight operations remain temporarily suspended due to the closure of Qatari airspace,” explains the company. “The airline will resume operations once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announces the full and safe reopening of Qatari airspace.” She’s not the only one. Etihad Airways too indicates on their website which, at least for now, “operates a limited program of commercial flights between Abu Dhabi and several key destinations.” It even gives the option to change reservations at no extra cost. Qatar announcement. “A reduced schedule”. Another company that has not returned to normal is Emirates. In the last hours I published an update in which it clarifies the status of its flight schedule: “Following the partial opening of the region’s airspace, Emirates operates with a reduced flight schedule.” Lufthansa has also suspended operations with Dubai, Dabi, Amman and Ebril until next week. Connections with Tel Aviv, Beirut and Tehran remain marked and in some cases will not be recovered until late April. In general, the specialized environment Condé Nast Traveler informed on Friday the 13th that there are a significant number of airlines with their operations altered in one way or another. What can we expect now? The situation in hubs like Dubai has improved since the total blockade that followed the attack on February 28, but the panorama continues not to be what it was before that date. Dubai … Read more

The measles outbreak is close to 8,500 cases and puts the health status of the country in check

by

Measles has ceased to be a latent threat and has become a worrying statistical reality in Mexicoas the latest consolidated data from February 2026 have pointed out. These leave no doubt that the country is going through its most complex outbreak in decades, accumulating 8,459 confirmed cases since the start of the crisis in 2025. It’s already worrying. The situation has escalated to such a point that the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has issued a clear warning: If the chain of transmission is not cut in the coming weeks, Mexico could lose its status as a measles-free country. X-ray of the outbreak. The figures are compelling and draw a map of active transmission in the 32 states of the republic. Although the problem is national, the intensity is not homogeneous, since there are points where positive cases are much more evident. This is something that can be seen in the reports of the Ministry of Health (SSA) of Mexico, which indicates that so far in 2026, 2,143 cases have been reported. But the current epicenter is in Jaliscowhich is where 1,245 cases have been concentrated, representing almost 60% of the reports this entire year. Historical accumulated. Since February 2025, the state of Chihuahua leads the accumulated total with more than 4,400 cases, now followed by the rebound in the west of the country. But the most tragic thing is undoubtedly the human losses, since they have already been confirmed 27 deaths since the beginning of the outbreak in February 2025, with two recent deaths recorded in Tlaxcala and Michoacán This is in addition to the fact that the most vulnerable population is the youngest children, who are between one and four years old. Something that also makes it act as the perfect vector to infect the older population and those at greater risk of suffering from a more serious disease. The root of the problem. Experts point out that it is necessary to have a herd immunity to be able to apply containment to this serious health problem. And for such a contagious virus, at least 95% of the population is required to be vaccinated, something very similar to what was noted in the Covid pandemic in our environment. And the problem is precisely in low vaccination coverage that exists in these regions, causing many to not reach this percentage. And, despite the fact that the SSA reports the application of more than 11.8 million vaccinesthe spread of the virus suggests that there are still susceptible population groups, especially those where there are a greater number of cases right now. Use of face masks. As already happened in the COVID pandemic, there are some states such as Jalisco or Nuevo León that are evaluating the use of masks or face coveringsespecially in closed spaces and with a large influx of people. This is a simple containment barrier to prevent spread while the population finishes its vaccination schedule. The ultimatum. On the technical side, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has launched an extension until April to evaluate whether Mexico has achieved endemic transmission of this virus. This is something that is achieved when there is no continuous circulation of the virus in a territory for 12 months. Mexico has been fighting this outbreak since February 2025, and if transmission continues uninterrupted beyond the calendar year, measles will once again be considered endemic (typical of the region) and not an imported case. In addition to this, PAHO has confirmed that Mexico currently accounts for 71% of the cases on the entire American continent, a figure that forces health authorities to rethink the containment strategy to prevent its spread to the rest of the neighboring countries. What’s coming The next PAHO meeting in April will be critical in this regard. The decision that Mexico lose “measles-free” status It is not just a diplomatic label, but it implies greater costs in epidemiological surveillance, potential barriers in tourism and the confirmation of a major setback in the country’s public health status. Intensive campaigns are underway, but with the virus present in all states and active community transmission, the Mexican health system faces its most important test of the post-COVID era. A global problem. Although the news focuses on the many cases in Mexico in this case, the reality is that In other parts of the planet cases have also increased. One of the clearest examples is in the United States, where the CDC has raised alarm bells after observing how cases are multiplying in a matter of months. In Spain Official data also indicate that, while in 2023 only 14 cases were recorded, in 2024 they increased to 229 cases and in 2025 the forecast points to almost 400.
