The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2]) is an unprecedented event that is overloading health services worldwide. In México, the situation is no less worrying. When we started working with lung ultrasound (LUS) in México, 118 cases and 1 death had been registered in the country; at the time of writing of this article, 56,594 cases and 6090 deaths had been confirmed. The increase in cases and saturation of all medical services at all levels call for swift action and close attention, as well as precise diagnoses, especially in patients in respiratory distress.
