Covid update Feb 8 2021
Just went to the clinic in San Ignacio for my insulin and was told:
7 have died in San Ignacio, their worst month so far was January.
Our neighbor here in La Bocana says our first death occurred last night in the La Paz hospital where she was taken in Covid breathing distress.
He also says 4 people have died in Punta Abreojos.
The San Ignacio docs and nurses are about to get their 2nd vaccine shot. The doctor in the clinic caught Covid, she thinks from her husband, and her
mother in law also caught it. All had very mild symptoms.

One of the deaths in SI last week was my friend’s father. His mother is also hospitalized with covid
Wish some people would take the disease seriously...
Woke!

As far as an optical device "100% effective" in determining covid infection, boy do I have a deal for you.
A big pile of slightly used GT200s from the government of Baja California.
Let me add, via edit, that the technology for a handheld optical covid sensor may exist, but any "100%" test result is pure hogwash, and reeks of
scam.

They won't. The amount of tourist coming thru SF is off the scale now. Entitled gringos are, well, entitled.

Tell that to China. A nation with 1.6 billion people with no cases and no vaccine.

And how about those in Baja planning San Diego trips? The "Rona" doesn't care which way it travels!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

How many deaths do you think they've really had? The same for India.
Have you been to China? I've been a dozen plus times, and know about 30-40 ppl I've done business with over the last 20 years. Speak to someone
there at least once a month.
Do you want to live in an oppressive, communist world? Do you know what life is like for the average child over there? Do you want the govt. to tell
you how many kids you can have, and what sex?
Using China as a role model for anything is a fools errand.

We're talking about lockdowns. Nothing you've written has anything to do with that. You quoted WHO as an authority. Yes, they believe the numbers from
China. All the major media do as well. So because they're communists they're liars? You must've been a big hit in China.
Frankly I don't give a rats ass that you travel to China. Doesn't make you an authority on them.

Holy smokes JZ - how many times do we have to point out that you have neglected the second half of that ststement in the report - grow up and accept
facts! and speaking of those lockdowns not working - uh - what else would youb attribute the 35% reduction over the last week in the USA -
interstingly enough, corresponding almost exactly to lockdowns across most of the USA - actually no lockdowns - thats just the emotionally loaded
term JZ uses to justify his vacations!
But there has certainly been increased controls mandated, but nobodys locked down - even if they should be!

Not sure what you are talking about. That is from the WHO.
And the lockdowns have loosened greatly for the last 4 weeks.
The politicians are finally taking on the self serving teachers' unions to get kids back in school. What the scientists argued for in the Fall, and
most countries did.
