Delay?

The official campaign season for the summer elections is set to begin on May 3rd, but Mexican Senate leaders are analyzing the possibility of postponing the contests. 

I've wondered throughout this episode what the timeline is. I'm supposed to go back to work on May 6th, but is the outbreak going to be over in less than a week? At one point do people take off the masks and stop washing their hands compulsively? I suspect that no one really knows, but this report makes you wonder if the present state of emergency could continue for a while longer. 

Update: José Ángel Córdova has come out against a delay in elections.
