Covid in Ensenada
Just learned that many of my family have the virus now. Most are from my wife's Mexican family. It is really devastating here right now. I took a trip
to Punta Banda yesterday and as I passed Costco the parking lot was full as was most places just as it is in non-virus times.
I have a public park directly in front of my home and recently it has become empty.
The police were setting up check points and telling people to wear masks while driving. Apparently it's the law now.
I see it getting much worse than better in the coming month-months.
You all be safe out there!

Wait until the Christmas/NYE/Chanukah/Pagan, etc. surge peaking mid January. It is supposed to be at its worst then.

yeah the masks while driving seems a bit extreme?

From my experience, the police/check points want to make sure you have a mask handy. Pull up to a red light and there are often vendors right at your
window, an issue unless you keep the window rolled up. Many times there isn't a 2 meter (six feet) space between your car window and the passenger in
the car beside you. Get fuel, put your mask on when you talk to the attendant. Once again, the rule is to help the public be safe, take care of
themselves and each other. It's not such a big deal.

Let me tell you, we have not had anyone come down with the virus but we have had some scares. People absolutely FREAK when they think it is here but
they do not take enough precautions.
There are many gatherings. No one uses a mask in the smaller stores.
One of these days it is going to get ugly.
On another note, my husband's best friend's Mom lives in England (as does he) and she is 91. She will be getting her vaccination against covid this
Friday!

I heard that a couple people have died from covid in San Ignacio.
Here in the USA the covid death rate is now one death every 40 seconds.
Vaccine production is still limited, looking like USA won’t be done with majority of vaccinations until late summer 2021. Long time away!
Woke!

Blanca, just heard on the news it’ll take 30 days to develop an immunity from the vaccine shot. And so, we wait. I expect to be able to come down
maybe for the Bahía Asunción celebration August 15th, and perhaps a La Paz clinic after that if things work out. (I’ve got a ton of parts/supplies
in my garage!)
Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

definatly a wait and see situation
anyone comprimised in any way should watch there butts, its obvious to me that the rest of us 99% ( who will be perfectly fine ) should take
precaution to help the vurnerable, if it means wearing a mask, so be it
I'm curious why we are seeing bill gates on tv talking about this tho, seems over the top wierd, kinda fictional

I don't care if someone doesn't want the vaccine shot as long as I get mine the rest of the dummies can do what they want. Maybe that will cull the
herd. Sorry but the world is full of stupid people and they deserve what they get. God will still love them.

If you are financially secure, got a medical provider and insurance, and live in one of the Wealthy countries, you will probably get a vaccine in
short order.
If you are poor in USA and do not have regular medical care/provider, yet to be seen how/if you will get vaccine.
If you live in a poorer country, yet to be seen how/if you will get vaccine
Some people may lack vaccine for reasons other than being anti-vax
Woke!

I will get the vaccine asap, but not soon, I think.
In the meantime, stop asking gringos to come to small towns in Baja because the kids need pencils.
Be part of the solution, not.........

Apparently, Neither of you understand the concept of "herd immunity" - right? Obviously, Vaccines protect you, but what we are really trying to
do is mass immunize to produce herd immunity. The whole point of vaccinations is to essentially cut off the pathways for virus transmission, thus
protecting the population.
. That means a large % of the population needs to be vaccinated - primarily TO PROTECT THOSE WHO CANNOT FOR SOME REASON RECEIVE THE VACCINE.
YES THE VACCINE PROTECTS YOU, BUT PERHAPS , JUST THIS ONE TIME, YOU COULD THINK ABOUT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMITMENT TO KEEPING OTHERS IN THIS
COUNTRY SAFE AS WELL.!
novel Idea I know, watch after your brothers and sisters, do right by them! if only there were some religion that preached and PRACTICED that
concept!

The two concepts are hardly mutually exclusive. If by being immunized as soon as it is available to me I am protecting others as well as myself then
all the better. It means I can feel altruistic while acting in my own self interest. Everybody wins!

I'll take the vaccine when it's my turn in line. By that time many will have already taken it so I will feel a little more comfortable about its'
safety.
I have to agree with a lot of the above - I don't care anymore about people who refuse to wear a mask or physically distance. Good riddance, we have
to thin the stupid out of the gene pool somehow. I am lucky enough to live in a town with very little disease, but after Thanksgiving it is
increasing and the entire Bay Area is shut down. I shudder to think of what post Christmas will be like.
In general, how is the spread of covid in Baja?
