Los Cabos Visitors to be Tested for COVID
All disclaimers about the Gringo Gazette notwithstanding, it states that the BCS government is seeking to test at least 400 arriving passengers on a
voluntary basis each day in order to assess the presence of the Omicron variant. It adds that this is about 4% of the typical number of passengers
arriving on a daily basis.

Should be mandatory vaccination requirement to travel by plane. Anywhere. Mandatory for all.
Woke!

I agree with vaccine mandates for air travel, indoor dining at restaurants, indoor concerts, etc. I also believe that businesses have a right to
impose mandates to protect employees, clients, customers and the communities in which they work.
My eldest daughter is a missionary in Kenya who is anti-vax in a part of the country that has yet to see a severe outbreak. I asked her if she would
change her tune if the infection rate rose and she was suddenly faced with the dilemma of needing to protect the ones she's trying to "reach". She's
praying it won't come to that.
Ironically, she, her husband and 4 daughters all complied fully with the battery of inoculations needed to travel to Kenya. Go figure.

Right or wrong, some people have concerns about this vaccine only. Your daughter is one of them. I am sure she was raised to consider all information
and make her own decisions. Maybe rebut her issues.
A life of fears leads to a death bed of regrets.
Find someone who will take care of you, and take care of them.

As bad as can be? NY with less than half the population of Kenya and 84% of NY ppl vaxxed had 224,000 new cases last week.

100% correct. In Europe they are now giving a booster to ths booster and one more shot. Whic is the 5th. BTW Astra Zenaca the British stuff is no
longer in use in Europe. All European Countries are sending that stuff to the 3rd world. i.e. Mexico. MX is using Astra Zeneca a lot. And a chineese
vaxx for all teachers, but only one shot. They say it is protevtive as can be.

Sigh. I was hoping this wouldn't turn into one of those threads.
Back to the original post - I'm curious to know what the BCS government hopes to achieve with this voluntary screening. Also - what happens when
someone tests positive?

You are putting you family at greater risk of harm by living in Baja than they would be living in the US unvaxxed.
I applaud you for taking them there, and think it is fantastic. Others wouldn't.
Let's not judge ppl by the personal decisions they make.

Yikes!
Mexico says cruise ships with coronavirus cases can dock
MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government said Wednesday it will allow cruise ships carrying people infected with the coronavirus to dock.
The announcement came after two Mexican ports refused to allowed passengers ashore because their ships had coronavirus cases.
The Health Department said passengers or crew who show no symptoms will be allowed to come ashore normally, while those with symptoms or a positive
virus test will be quarantined or given medical care.
The department said a cruise ship that was prevented from docking at one Pacific coast port will be allowed to dock farther north, at the port of
Guaymas. That was an apparent reference to a ship that was supposed to dock at Puerto Vallarta a few days ago but was not allowed to do so.
Woke!

My daughter and her family live in Garissa, closer to Somalia than Nairobi. The people in Garissa fear attacks from Al Shabaab more than they do
COVID.

Enhanced testing is having the unintended consequence of showing far more fully vaccinated people in healthcare carrying the virus than expected.
Quebec is now allowing asymptomatic infected health care workers to continue working to keep the system running, while other areas have drastically
reduced post exposure isolation times to a bare minimum.

The CDC in the U.S. has halved the recommended isolation time for asymptomatic positive testers from 10 days to 5. I know quite a few people (all of
whom were fully vaccinated) who have tested positive with mild symptoms, but none of whom were completely asymptomatic.

I agree 100%. That has always been my position.
It's going to be even more true with Omicron and so many ppl being vaxxed.
I think (hope) we'll be in a much better place by February.
