"If only one could trust the numbers that the Mexican government provides. They have already admitted twice that both case counts and deaths were under reported."
The numbers they used in the article (Excess Mortality) does not rely on judgment calls, it is just comparing all deaths, a number not based on how they died.
"This is a spurious argument anyway: things like car crashes and heart attacks are not contagious."
Of course crashes are not contagious, but they are good examples of risk comparison.
"Covid is already the number one cause of death in Mexico."
But you said above that the gov numbers being reported are unreliable. Using excess mortality shows that something is happening and COVID is the most likely cause, but the numbers do not rely on someones judgement, they are simple numbers of dead people.
"On a positive note: we just talked with Dr. Martha who confirms that there have been no cases of Covid here in LM since last spring."
Yes, that is positive but differs from what Tom reported from the Dr. at the clinic on October 30th.
