Y el gobierno dice que se avanzó mucho pero los críticos sostienen que las entradas y salidas de la zona infectada podrían ser muy porosas.

Tenía una cara ancha, de luna a punto de ser llena; los ojos chicos, la piel muy porosa, como si fuera pulpa, y los dientes algo separados, y éstos le conferían un aspecto salaz que, por lo que yo sabía, se correspondía sólo con su mentalidad ansiosa —era como si segregara jugos sin pausa—, pero no con sus actividades: esa clase de sujeto que requiebra a todo el mundo entre risas —probablemente a mujeres y a hombres, a éstos sólo de manera implícita, cómo decir, e interrogativa, interesándose mucho por ellos—, pero que, llegado el raro caso de por fin ser requerido por alguno de sus requebrados, se escabulle también entre risas, temeroso de sus incumplimientos.
He had a broad face, like an almost full moon, small eyes, very porous skin, like pulp, and rather widely spaced teeth, the latter giving him a highly salacious appearance which, as far as I know, accorded only with his greedy mentality—he looked as if he were constantly secreting juices—but not with his activities: he was the kind of man who laughingly pays everyone amorous compliments—probably both women and men, although he would do so only implicitly and, how can I put it, interrogatively with the latter, by taking a great interest in them—but on the rare occasions when one of his flatterees responded in kind, he would, equally laughingly, make his escape, fearful that he would not be able to oblige.
