US State Dept: If you are a tourist in Mexico, it’s time to go home.
The U.S. State Dept's message today is:
"If you are a tourist in Mexico, it’s time to go home."

I'm sure we'll hear the howling of the chorus as Trump has indicated he is about to cease immigration temporarily with an Executive order (Obama's
favorite way to do things in the other direction).
Sort of like the dirt berms and vigilante's that are being justified at Mexico's town entrances as a way to maintain the status quo.

Just did the migration from San Felipe to Durango Colorado.
My observation is is that is pretty inconvenient and a royal pain in Colorado due to the stay sheltered at home demand from the state officials. In
San Felipe I can go anywhere I want and especially in the desert with no risk at all. No shortages in San Felipe. Very limited TP and disinfectant in
Durango. Huge waiting lines for takeout in Colorado. Takeouts in San Felipe not an issue.
Traveling: No wait at Mexicali East regular line, Hotel In Chandler had hot coffee, but no other food. Disinfected the whole hotel room and wore
gloves and masks. Brought the supplies from San Felipe. In
San Felipe we found two kinds of medical masks and disinfectant in bulk or in squirt bottles - not an issue.
In AZ takeout for food was easy - call and park and wait. Same for breakfast. Took the food to our room to eat.
Gas was 2.10 in Yuma, 1.68 in Payson, 2.10 in Farmington and Durango.4/18-19/2020
Bottom line San Felipe is a pretty nice place these days compared to Colorado.

Indirectly related USA-specific info...
-----
A second coronavirus outbreak could emerge this winter in conjunction with the flu season to make for an even more dire health crisis, the director of
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told The Washington Post in an interview.
“There’s a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went
through,” CDC Director Robert Redfield said in a story published Tuesday. “And when I’ve said this to others, they kind of put their head back,
they don’t understand what I mean.”
“We’re going to have the flu epidemic and the coronavirus epidemic at the same time,” he added, predicting a dual assault on the health care
system.

Nice work Bigbear. esspecially great because it walks an interested reader the science behind proving that Dr LM is simply wrong. And BTW the
reason it's on a PODCAST, instead of being published in a peer reviewed journal? Because the process of peer review clearly demonstrated the Indian
research as well as this nonsense was done poorly and made conclusions not supported by data. That's how science works - prove it! He can't prove
it, so he starts spouting off on a podcast - wow!
