Astute calendrical observation.....which suggests that even if a small village is doing its best to manage transmission of the C virus, the infections still spread.

Areas where folks are not generally willing to follow preventative strategies, the infections spread exponentially...
e.g. USA.

I recently traveled from Cabo to San Diego and back. This is what I saw along the trip and inside the States: In Baja EVERYBODY is wearing a mask. Shops do allow NOBODY to get in without a mask a fiber test and sanitizing the hands.
N.o.B on gas stations, the employees mostly are not wearing masks.
(they are looking a lot like Trumpistas)
In San Diego I have seen more folks without a mask than wearing masks. Shops are handling the problem more or less relaxed. Some are serious - more are not. In Baja entering even only an OXXO is impossible without a mask. An employee will ask you what you need and will serve your merchandise and you pay outside the shop.
To me a question of discipline or? maybe Trump Fans N.o.B. ??

JC43, in my area if you are over 60 you are not allowed inside an OXXO because you can not maintain the proper social distancing, so it was a compromise to keep high risk safer so they could remain open.

I'm going to state the obvious here....is the virus a serious consideration, yes. If your comprimised in any way, absolutly watch ur ass.
Unfortunatly the powers that are directing the statistics are so skewed that no normal person can understand the exact mortality rate, directly proportional to the virus, as 99% of every statistic I have observed states a preexisting condition as a pretext for almost every mortality.
Humans have been around for close to 200,000 yrs., unless this is a man made virus ( jury out on this ) and you are not on the cusp of an end of life experience, of coarse be careful, but remember what life is about.
I listen to as much info as I can, I also listen to boots on the ground, local mexican friends, working nurse's in the US and level headed individuals who manage a basic amount of risk in thier everyday lives. I suggest anyone who is 'scared' should absolutly lock themselves down, its an acceptable policy in the US. Think of the upside, the people you dispise may vanish... for the record, I love all human beings, I especially love individual thinkers and people who engage in a bright exchange of ideas. Not fond of grenade throwers. I often think how George Carlin would describe this pandemic
