I´m hoping this is accurate. We have no cases in our municipio as of today.

There is no such thing as cases "today". Cases today will become known in about 5-6 days (at least). Besides, their numbers are understated by several
times, possibly 8 times according to the health ministry.

I'm not in Baja, so can't speculate on when it might re open. I can understand how in some of the smaller towns outsiders might not be welcome for
quite some time.
Here in the big city NOB, starting to wonder what will happen if this virus turns out to be like some of the other coronavirus that are a cause of the
common cold; that is, a person does not get lifetime immunity after catching it once, there is no vaccine, and people have to learn to live with this
nasty, highly contagious virus that keeps coming back year after year, like influenza. What politician wants to be the one to say, go ahead, go back
to work, and then get blamed when someone dies? Its a no win situation. So everything stays closed, forever.

You can fall down the stairs while at home, so stairs should be restricted from access now. Or walk into the bathroom door at night. I know many
people have accidentally opened the refrigerator door and hit their heads, so ...

thankfully, clumsiness is not a contagious virus!
Woke!

Looking good in ICU or in funeral home is important.

The immunity (after recovery) most assuredly will not be for life. They might not come up with any vaccine. Or a vaccine will be only a partial
success like seasonal flu vaccines. Add an unknown number of people who will refuse to get vaccinated and you got the picture.

I've read this in the past week. Don't recall where. I believe it is prob true.
Not the closed forever deal but mucho companies folding or morphing. Harry & David closing 38 stores, focus on e-commerce.

Pneumonia almost killed me couple years ago in Baja. Flu shots now every year for what it's worth.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

Good to know that some people are capable of clear thinking despite the political sh-t storm.
About pneumonia shots - there are two different kinds, people over 60 should get both.

Things are opening up like crazy. The University of Iowa just said they will start football practices in June.
If it kills some, it kills some. If you stay closed it will kill 100-500x more than Covid-19. You can't save granny who smoked for 30 years to kill
a 40 father of 4.
Quarantine the sick, not the healthy.

Spoken like a good little N-zi. Hitler was a big fan of eugenics.
There's no reason why staying home until the danger is past needs to kill anyone. Your govt, prefers to dole out funds to multi-billion dollar
corporations rather than the 40 year old father of 4.
And FYI doctors in France are now researching why non-smokers had a significantly higher rate of COVID infection and death than non-smokers. They
think that maybe nicotine has some virus-fighting properties.

The virus isn't going away.
Every notch up of unemployment has a notch up of suicide. That will kill more than Covid.
You are being selfish just like ***** and *****. "I'm on a fixed govt. Income, stay home and don't impact my life."
In the end, none of you give 2 chits about the rest of the world.

restricts mobility and is apparently causing serious harm. https://www.vallartadaily.com/mexico-orders-local-government...

It was a typo. French doctors said that smokers had less severe symptoms than non-smokers, which would seem counter-intuitive. So they are researching
why that would be.
