This is only in the northern BC and does not yet apply to BCS, is that correct? I have seen nothing to indicate the masks are not mandatory in La Paz
yet.
Only more messages encouraging vaccinatins.
Here are the latest data for cases in BCS, still improving rapidly:

When my wife and I flew from Boston to Cabo (via Phoenix) in February 2020, there were a small handful of people wearing masks in the airports, and we
snickered at them, wondering if they were trying to protect us or themselves. Ditto for when we returned to Cape Cod in the middle of the month, with
some older residents masking up in grocery stores. As we all know the messaging out of the CDC initially downplayed the use of masks before doing an
about face in March. Initially we wore them everywhere except in our house and in our neighborhood when walking the dog. This included trips to the
grocery store, which now were every other week instead of weekly, and always on a weekday morning to ensure smaller crowds.
Massachusetts began to remove some restrictions in May 2021, but it wasn't until late summer that masks became optional. We wore them most of the time
when we were in public, but did go out to restaurants 2 or 3 times last summer, as well as attending 2 concerts (one outdoor, one indoor). My
workplace invited people back in August 2021, but encouraged those who could work remotely to continue doing so. Fortunately that included me.
We wore masks in the airports and on the aircraft when we flew from Boston to Cabo in February of this year. There were pockets of non-compliance,
always in the U.S. We kept ours on despite being delayed by a day and a half due to bad weather in Dallas. We also followed the protocols in BCS,
where we masked up and sanitized wherever we went.
Omicron variant or not, by spring of 2022 we hardly saw anyone wearing masks anywhere. This included my doctor's office in Hyannis, where I kept mine
on. I don't wear a mask to local stores any more, but will comply with any signage in a store or an office.
All of this is to say that like most people I dislike masks, but have read some of the case studies and generally agree that use of a proper mask will
reduce the spread of infection in public places, particularly indoors. I don't know what we will do when we fly to California in June. I've heard the
variable enforcement of masking on aircraft described as "leaving 2 doors open in a submarine". I'm not convinced the most recent ruling to rescind
mask mandates on public transportation will be successfully appealed, leaving the responsibility up to individuals. Fun times!

There are so many anti-mask sickos on planes! If they don’t have covid, they probably have cold, flu or TB. I strongly recommend you wear an N95.
Woke!

We flew to Maui April 17, masks required on the flight. On the island hopper and return home flight, no mask required. Some wore, some didn't. I'm
just glad it shut the anti-maskers up and we didn't have to worry about an incident from someone attacking a flight attendant.

COVID appears to be "over" in Mexico. If other states besides B.C. haven't lifted their mask mandates yet, I'm sure the others won't be too far
behind. This article was posted 4 hours ago, so I'm sure a lot of places just haven't made the announcement yet.

COVID is over?
You're keeping good company here with those who believe every damn thing the media spews out. Don't even have to read the BS link.
COVID is NOT over, doesn't matter what MX does. Between CA and CO, people are wearing masks esp inside.
Bet you believe in The Big Lie, too?
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.

The VP just tested positive today. She has no symptoms. The 96 year old Queen of England got Covid 2 months ago, and had mild cold-like symptoms.
Less than 7,000 people under 30 in the US died "with Covid" in the last 2 years.
Covid is way over. Even Goat has given up on rooting for the virus.
Get busy livin' or get busy dyin' Lee. Fifteen minutes ago I booked 4 tickets to watch Rod Steward and Cheap Trick at the Santa Barbara Bowl in June.

Covid ain’t over. It will come back.
And when it does come back, the stupidity of the anti-covid people will result in higher death rate.
People that object to following accepted public health measures “because freedom” are just going to amp up the deaths.
In 2021 covid was the 3rd leading cause of death in usa…
Woke!

In 2021 the #1 cause of death for people age 18 to 45 was Fentanyl.
Which is flowing freely across our wide open Southern border.
A pin head of fentanyl mixed with weed can cause death. But you don't give two sh#ts about any of that, why??

Oh no!, cases cases, cases.
How many of the 400 "world-wide" died with Covid, not because of Covid?
And let us know how many ppl WW died from jaywalking, please, so we can make a comparison.
(**Before you say it, I'm sure the term "jaywalking," is somehow misogynistic and / or racist. Just let us know the new appropriate term, ok?**)

With all due respect, you might try to go learn how to read English before getting your triggered feelings hurt. Go read my original post again. I put
the word "over" in quotation marks for a reason. COVID will probably never actually be over or at least for a really long time. The government trying
to control it part is ending in most of the world.
I'm also an OTR truck driver. Literally no one wears masks anywhere anymore. I seriously doubt there's mask wearing going on all over between CO and
CA. I was in Utah and Nevada in 2021, when masks were actually "required", and hardly anyone was actually wearing them. By the way you freaked out
though I kind of doubt you get out much to actually know what's going on.

Actually I rarely visit this site or post anything because every thread seems to turn into some kind if pi**ing contest over Covid. What I find
amazing is that anyone that acts half terrified of Covid would ever cross the southern border into Mexico. The state department highly discourages
travel to Mexico and most major news sources don't recommend it either.

Masks are still required here and people wear them. And there were very cases here in our village.

I'm still staying away from crowds and certainly airplanes. There may be long-term health problems even with mild cases:
"The latest analysis found that people who had had COVID-19 were about 40% more likely to develop diabetes up to a year later...."
