Covid conditions in BCS continue to improve, with Loreto showing the best present conditions:
https://coronavirus.bcs.gob.mx/english/
Of course, it's all related to how much testing they are doing, which is increasing north of the border, but I suspect declining in BCS as people
relax more based on the milder symptoms.

He's probably doing the same thing he did this time last year. He was off the board for months while he was camping out around Bahia Concepcion.

It's not too surprising with the increased availability of testing kits here for the general public that we would be seeing more reported positives.
What has happened in addition is BA1 has ripped through the population leaving far more people with long lasting naturally acquired antibodies and at
the same time further dropping the case fatality rates. Both vaccinated, boosted and somewhat protected, and the non vaccinated now have higher
resistance to BA2 and future variants as they encounter the virus. This is the herd immunity stage everyone was hoping for. Omicron somehow became the
closest we came to a "weakened or altered vaccine" through natural progression and is the biggest factor leading to an endemic stage.

The problem facing us now is rebuilding the health care system that has been severely weakened both by natural attrition, the closing of nursing
schools and at a critical point firing the additional almost 10% that for whatever reason chose not to be vaccinated. A recent survey here indicated
1/3 of the remaining health care staff intend to quit. Where do we suddenly get the numbers of trained staff to replace them? The same issues exist
globally.
My wife(a nurse) formally retired yesterday and has allowed her licensing to lapse. She and many of her co-workers continued to work past the normal
retirement age due to the extreme need for them, but they will not delay their retirements forever.

Lencho: Here, PCR testing has been recently restricted to target groups only(mainly health care pros), and if we had cold or flu symptoms we were told
to not bother getting tested but to assume we had Omicron and act accordingly. If a target group person tested positive to a rapid test, they would
generally get retested with PCR to confirm and get added to the list of positives. Even rapid tests were not made broadly available til very recently
due to shortages. Now anyone can get them from the pharmacy. More testing leads to more positives, but has little effect on outcomes especially with
Omicron, making the CFR decline quicker. IFR (Infection fatality rates) are lower yet than Case fatality rates and are estimated only because they
would include asymptomatic exposures of people that show no symptoms so are never tested.
Estimates of seasonal flu IFR each year runs in the 0.1 to 0.2 percent range.

You claim that you won’t read NYT because it is biased, then follow that up with a post from Zerohedge. That’s rich.
Your actions tell me that you don’t read the news for information, you read the news for affirmation.
Me thinks you confuse the news in NYTimes with the opinion page in the NYTimes. News for you shorty, the news and the opinion pages are different
animals. The NYTimes is credible journalism,… you perhaps don’t like it because it was one of the many papers that revealed that your marmalade
emperor had no clothes.
Woke!

Never even heard of that website before. It popped up in a random Google search. Was in a hurry, so posted that link.
Here you go: https://www.cbsnews.com/dfw/news/tsa-wont-enforce-mask-manda...
Promise to do better next time, ok?
That said, the NYTs is the enemy of the American ppl. Every thing they promote under the guise of helping minorities, actually hurts minorities.
They want to abolish the middle class, so it is just the elites and everyone else. No thank you.

Vain and bombastic.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.

F*ck it.

I suggest that masks be optional on planes, busses and trains. And we should do like old days when smoking was allowed on planes, put the maskless in
the back of the plane and put the masked in the front of the plane. Train cars can be separated for masked and maskless. Busses can be made for
masked, and we can provide free rental scooter credits for unmasked. I see lots of rental scooters on street here in san Diego, and you maskless
should use those and let the masked ride the bus in good health.
Woke!

Why do you hate science?
"A 187-page study by Harvard scientists released Tuesday concluded that air travel "is as safe as or substantially safer than the routine activities
people undertake during these times.''
The Harvard researchers said the ventilation system in the cabin "effectively counters the proximity travelers are subject to during flights.''
It says those factors combine to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission on a plane to below that at grocery stores or restaurants."

It will take a while for people to relax from the mask rules despite what studies say. Once you get firmly convinced they are necessary it's difficult
to let it go. Costco the first week after they were no longer mandatory here had about 50/50 people wearing masks. Now it's about 5/95 3 weeks later.
Understandably, planes trains and buses will take longer even after the rules are removed.
Maybe MTGoat has a good temporary solution and we could establish masked and unmasked areas to accommodate as much as possible everyone's choice in
the public transport.
