Covid 19 situation now?

@wmeleney: There is basically zero testing here until a person becomes very sick. Even then, there is often still no testing, so a subsequent death cannot be definitively attributed to Covid or to some other cause. Without testing, it's impossible to know transmission rates. As for contact tracing, it's all but unheard of here. So all we're left with are the reported numbers of confirmed cases (which even the federal government says are wildly underreported) and the slightly more solid number of deaths.

A subscription to Mexico News Daily costs just $2.99 a month and can be canceled at any time. While far from perfect, it's an important omnibus source for news here. Many of its articles (including the one I mentioned above) provide links to Spanish-language sources, which can be helpful as well.
