Goat,
So a Canadian study show that people who don’t believe everything the government comes around selling without question are more of a danger to
public safety than are drunks?
Those researchers have never driven in Mexico where even which side of the road to drive on is only a suggestion. ( Not even a strong suggestion
either!)
After thinking on it. Mexico isn’t even close to the worst place.
These guys drive on a 2 lane road mostly without shoulders just like those in Baja! Traffic runs 120KM/H!

RfClark....I did a search for Glendambo Tourist Center and discovered that your photo was taken in Australia. For what it is worth, I encountered two
sets of semis hauling triples when I was on Hwy 95 northbound through Nevada in October.
What a dangerous pain to pass one of those on a two-lane road! There are a whole lot of miles between passing lanes on that road.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Guys,
These are not US sized trailers! That rig is over 150’ Long (176’)!! The tractors have Roo catchers made out of RR track! We drove 1200KM each way
to see Ares Rock with them. Give me 1000KM to Cabo any day!

After 3 years, finally got Covid.
Low grade fever for 2 days. A little coughing on day 3. Mostly symptom free by day 4.
No way we should have locked down the country beyond the first 3 months. Never again.

Your personal anecdotal experience is what health professionals, scientists and govts. should base their recommendations on? How about the 6 and a
half million who have died, or suffered terribly, or ended up with long Covid, and how many more would have died had there not been lockdowns and
other precautions taken?
Oh, wait, I almost forgot that you care about no one but yourself.

Circling back to the OP
So... would it be accurate to say that Covid is "surging" in Baja California and Baja California Sur, or is the answer more nuanced? Is it, for
example, only surging in certain communities, or certain segments of the population? Are businesses beginning to mask up and encouraging customers to
do the same?
Here on Cape Cod, masking is very sparse, although my wife and I plan to mask up when we fly down to Cabo next month. The latest booster hasn't
generated much excitement, but we're boosted as well. We've also been selective in our ventures out in public, using common sense and avoiding those
who don't!

S,
There were all sorts of “Hippies” with all sorts of philosophies. I was there at the start. I know a lot of “Hippies” who ended up driving
“bemers” and a lot that ended up on a ventilator.
Being self-adsorbed was very “”Hippie”! The”Beatniks” were often the “intelligenca” the “Hippies” were more often the “rabble”!
Many of the “Hippies” that were into themselves and substance abuse are long dead! Some are popular screen and TV writers and are still very
“Hippie” like.

You missed my whole point. If they turned into their parents and ended up driving beemers, they were never really hippies to start with. Once a real
hippie, always a hippie. It has nothing to do with tie-dye.
Being self-absorbed was not at all hippie, so you obviously have no idea what you are talking about and took fake hippies for real ones. Hippie was
about love, peace, sharing, non-materialism, communal living, and working together for the good of all, which is the opposite of self-absorbed.
Dressing like a hippie, having long hair, smoking dope, and other visible identifiers associated by the mainstream with hippiedom has nothing to do
with having real hippie mindset. Anyone can play dress-up.
And beatniks was a culture from the 50s and early 60s. Hippies came later.

S,
I was there! For both! Hippies were mostly into themselves and extorting money from their folks! Beatniks were late ‘40s and ‘50s. They were
mostly gone by ‘60 except for a few over 60s who turned into Hippie Gurus!
“Working for all and communal living”! When everyone owns something the best job is being the someone who takes care of it for “everyone”!
Every group of “Hippies” has a click that ran it.
Remind me to tell you about the Collectivist and the Genie sometime.

Wherever "there" you were, it obviously wasn't representative of true hippie culture, which I was part of. No hippie I knew extorted money from their
parents- they mostly rejected everything about their parents' lifestyle, including their money. Hippies ran businesses doing arts and crafts, were
musicians and writers and house builders and organic gardeners. Some were even doctors and lawyers and teachers. And the communal living situations
didn't revolve around some guru, everyone had an equal voice, no clique that ran it. (FYI it's a French word which is neither spelled nor pronounced
"click")

I bet you did not isolate or wear a a mask once in your contagious travels,…
How many people did you infect?
Woke!

We interrupt the bickering...
...to briefly get back on topic. I posed the same question I asked here a few days ago on Talk Baja and got some fresh first-hand responses. I asked
if there were any new restrictions noted in BCS, and what they might be. Apparently many businesses are requesting masks indoors (i.e. no official
mandates), although enforcement has been somewhat spotty. As a guest, I want to be respectful to my hosts, although I will definitely remove my mask
when I sip that first margarita next month. 
We now return to our regularly scheduled squabbling...

Covid is over.
Ley is the one and only place in Loreto making you wear a mask.

Nominated for the most idiotic statement of the day.
Covid stats, Jan.5, 2023
Active cases worldwide 21,623,671
In serious or critical condition 43,843
Active cases US 2,126,887
In serious or critical condition 5,028
Active cases Mexico 431,731
In serious or critical condition 4,798
Mask mandates and lockdowns were and are necessary because of idiotic azzholes like you who travel when they have Covid, and brag about not having to
wear a mask, while you infect countless people, some of whom may die, which would make you a murderer.
You should have a t-shirt printed with "Covid is over" on it and wear it everywhere to warn people to stay far away from you.

That chart conveniently ignores the time period of the Rhino virus.
Covid is over. Get out of your basement. Take those double masks off. Go live life.
"The debate over COVID's mortality rate hinges on what counts as a COVID-19 death. Gandhi and other researchers argue that the daily death toll
attributed to COVID is exaggerated because many deaths blamed on the disease are actually from other causes. Some of the people who died for other
reasons happened to also test positive for the coronavirus.
"We are now seeing consistently that more than 70% of our COVID hospitalizations are in that category," says Dr. Shira Doron, an infectious disease
specialist at the Tufts Medical Center and a professor at the Tufts University School of Medicine. "If you're counting them all as hospitalizations,
and then those people die and you count them all as COVID deaths, you are pretty dramatically overcounting."
If deaths were classified more accurately, then the daily death toll would be closer to the toll the flu takes during a typical season, Doron says. If
this is true, the odds of a person dying if they get a COVID infection — what's called the case fatality rate — would be about the same as the flu
now, which is estimated to be around 0.1%, or perhaps even lower.
In a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Thursday, researchers attempted to filter out other deaths to analyze
mortality rates for people hospitalized "primarily for COVID-19." They find the death rate has dropped significantly in the omicron era, compared to
the delta period."
