Protesters Block Nogales Border
Protester blocked the border on the Mexico side of the Nogales border to keep from the US from bringing the virus to Mexico.
Good for them.

One should believe in God, because even Google doesn't know everything.

Good to see concern down here but I hope it's not too little to late.

I had some friends who recently moved to Punta Abreojos after retiring visit me 2 days ago. Someone wrote and told me I was endangering La Bocana.
This is going to get uglier and uglier.

19 protesters with two vehicles manages to block the crossing "for hours"?
Another fail by Mexican law enforcement, is the most significant issue to me. But that's not news...........
I admire their motives, but not their tactics.
I have two friends who live down here, that have to go north to Tucson for cancer treatments. They are not happy about having to go to hospitals, in
this CV era. Heck, hospitals have been lax on controlling simple bacterial infections like staph.
They have no family to stay with in the States, anymore. What are they supposed to do; become homeless at 70?
There are LOTS of people who live within six hours of the US border, in Mexico, and travel north and south for legitimate, legal reasons; even in
this time of restricted travel. Their cancers have a lot greater chance of killing them than this virus.
These protesters would be better off protesting the lax law enforcement down here that HAS ALREADY ended up costing many thousands of lives.

First it was Country against Country
then it was State against state
then it was city against City
then it was town against town
then it was Neighborhood against Neighborhood
then it was neighbor against neighbor,,,,,,,,
And SO it goes......
Stay strong and watch out for YOU and your Family....
Be careful and may you ALL be blessed by whichever God you choose.......

Hope for the Best
Watch for the early signs. As conditions deteriorate, expect, anticipate and prepare for the Worst.
Where possible, be Armed and vigilant. One may be faced with making split-second defensive survival decisions previously
unimagined.

Spoke to our family in Guatemala yesterday. Stores and Banks are only open for a few hours each day. Although small in numbers, Cvirus cases are
increasing. And so is their fear.
I suppose it won't be long before they close the border to the US...er, wait, sorry, that would be Mexico.
