Tourism Council announces reopening of Cancun, Riviera Maya travel for June
By Riviera Maya News on April 30, 2020
Cancun, Riviera Maya, Q.R. — The Quintana Roo Tourism Promotion Council has announced the reopening of the state for travel as of the beginning of
June.
The Consejo de Promoción Turística de Quintana Roo (CPTQ) says that airline operations also will begin then, which is why they are preparing a
special campaign now to be launched in late May. The campaign will be aimed at reviving local tourism.
“Some of the airlines, through virtual meetings, that have announced they are resuming their operations at the Cancun International Airport are Air
Canada, Air Transat, Delta Airlines, Copa Airlines, Air Europa, Sunwing, Southwest and Aeroméxico,” he explained noting they will begin landing in
early June.
The announcement of the arrival of flights has also promoted the opening of some online reservation systems for area hotels. The Hotel Association of
Cancun, Puerto Morelos and Isla Mujeres detailed that due to the coronavirus pandemic, more than 155 area hotels closed.
Get in line now!
The tide is changing

Gnudist Overload ?
WOW !
What a difference being away a few days makes.
Gnu Nutty Knowledge run amok.
Can anybody summarize in a few paragraphs where we are in the COVID Gnudity Conspiracy ?
Not that it really matters in terms of reality, but it's always fun to follow the bouncing bunk.

What's the status for hospitals - and their resources - in Baja and Mexico in general?

3 rows is about 9ft. Makes sense, in enclosed space. What many don't realize is that when people are talking loud, they emit droplets much smaller

I doubt about UV lights in a cabin full of people. The lower the frequency is the safer it is to humans and the longer it takes to kill the germs.
They do use UV to disinfect empty cabins on trains and airplanes: Disinfecting an aircraft’s interior between flights. Adding high-frequency UVC to air filtration system would work but this end of spectrum is
unsafe to humans.

Of course they'll over report. They're trying to make up the difference.

“A major U.S. airline trade group on Saturday said it backed the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checking the temperatures of
passengers and customer-facing employees during the coronavirus pandemic.
Airlines for America, which represents the largest U.S. airlines including American Airlines, United Airlines , Delta Air Lines and Southwest
Airlines, said the checks "will add an extra layer of protection for passengers as well as airline and airport employees. Temperature checks also will
provide additional public confidence that is critical to relaunching air travel and our nation’s economy."
HERE IS A GOOD IDEA TO IMPLEMENT WITH TEMP CHECKS;
MEASURE THE PAX GIRTH, AND IF PAX UNABLE TO FIT IN SEAT W/O INCONVENIENCING NON-GLUTTONS, THEN SEAT THE FAT PAX IN THE FAT SECTION OF PLANE
P.S normal temp does not mean you are not contagious. Sneezing, snuffling, coughing people should be booted from the plane
Woke!

And just to add to the anxiety, it is hay fever season in my part of the world right now! Just try not to sneeze!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

No, the article I read specified UV light in low doses being on all the time during flight. I can't find it any longer. And yes, there are numerous
links to apparatuses available to kill germs with UVC light between flights and even bathroom during flights. Most infections occur from sick
passengers being in close proximity during flight. Thank you for taking the time to respond. Meanwhile I will continue to search.

Losing money because all their elective stuff is shut down.
And even for semi urgent stuff ppl are afraid to do it or the hospitals are asking them to put it off.
I know someone who was only able to do a hysterectomy because she was incredibly anemic.
Declaring ppl to be Covid gives them Fed dollars.
This nonsense has to end.

Anyone on here have sources in hospitals south?
I thought it was interesting to see (Mexicodailynews) the similar modeling of ppe use, isolation areas, etc., as we had seen on US news as Covid
progressed here. Maybe there was some benefit to having lag time for Mexico to observe (if not participate) how others handled the onset.
With much less resources (financially/structurally) I would hope the field evened out somewhat for them with that modeling available.

The United States was among the few countries not taking part in the fund-raising effort.

The WHO is an agent for the Chinese government. They need to burn that organization down.

Please post in a separate thread if you find it. This one has become overrun by people with an IQ of a 3rd grader, posting without reading or thinking
first.
I occasionally see articles on low-frequency, low-intensity UV lights in hospital wards but there is more social distancing there than in commercial
airplanes, and the efficiency is inferior to that of high-frequency UV lights.

I think we thin folks should start accusing airlines of discrimination as far as baggage allowances. Why should I have the same baggage allowance as
the 350 pounder standing in the check-in line behind me? Airline prices are supposedly partially based on fuel costs to transport people and baggage.
So the thin people are subsidizing the fat. I say have a total weight allowance- you and your luggage
