A health care worker collects a sample to test for the new coronavirus inside a mobile diagnostic tent, in the Coyoacan district of Mexico City, Friday, November 13. Mexico on Saturday topped 1 million registered coronavirus cases and nearly 100,000 test-confirmed deaths, though officials agree the number is probably much higher. International experts have recommended mass testing, and say face masks protect both the wearer and other people. That resistance was what Mexico City human resources manager Lorena Salas felt when her 76-year-old father, Jaime Salas Osuna, began to show signs of what could be coronavirus. I said ’Dad, do you have COVID?”Salas drove him to Mexico City; he didn’t want to be intubated, but doctors explained they had to.
