Truly, gnu is the most paranoid conspiracy theorist on this site. But definitely entertaining. I shudder to think of the hours he spends on
"dark-web" sites.
For those of us in the real world, how are things looking in Baja & BCS? How are hospitals coping in the heavily populated areas?
I sure am missing my summer visit to help my mi suegro. Should be paddle boarding Bahia Santa Inez this morning after a lovely run along the beach.
Maybe mid-October can happen.... love those little roosters along the shore in the morning (single barbless only...).

It remains "red light" in BC: Jaime Bonilla
"Mexicali and Ensenada have increased their active cases; Tijuana remains stable, although the population should not "let their guard down" on
sanitary measures, he announced."

Mexicali is now the 3rd highest city in Mexico. Mexico is still on a logarithmic upward growth trajectory.
Looks like 'Minnesota' was removed. We keep getting new accounts that appear for a day and get axed.

Getting the Economy back !
During the last week's trips through the pass, it has been gratifying to see that the morongo casino complex has reopened and is
(apparently) doing a brisk business. Having it back will prove invaluable to the average citizen.
I had often expressed the opinion that the casinos should have remained open as "essential charitable" enterprises given the substantial returns that
they provide to their customers.
Having NEVER met one of those customers who didn't find their experience financially-rewarding, the casinos contribution to the local small businesses
is impossible to deny.
I'm sure that it's no different elsewhere.

Don't forget the additional revenue for the tobacco industry. Nothing says "'Murica" like puffin' grits and playin' slots!!!!
What a great way to spend that $1200 stimulus money.

Self-Stimulating
In Minneapolis tonight, they've rediscovered "grab and go" as a way to stretch their tight resources.
With the added economic bonus that rebuilding burned-out businesses will bring at a later date.
Unsurprisingly, "Social Distancing" is NOT being maintained by the partying crowds. They appear to be having a good time, though.
Law enforcement has decided to assist in the metro merriment by taking the night off. The common motto "to protect and serve" has been
superseded by "leave a message. We'll be back when it's over".

Unfortunately Oakland got the grab and go treatment last night. Along with the death on a federal officer.

Once Again ....................
Those of us who long ago gave up the Urban Life see our decision reaffirmed.
Living in the Big City is a Riot.
Well, I'm off to feed the critters. Since the biggest urban area I'll be passing through is Banning, I think that
we're pretty safe.

Hey Bobby, get back in this thread.
As predicted, the following 3 days Ohio went down to 13, 14, and 15.
Where are you now??

My wife and I had a very brief fantasy of living in a loft in the city (in our case Boston) about 10 years ago. Sticker shock convinced us that we
loved our big old suburban house after all. Last year we sold our house and moved full-time to our vacation home on Cape Cod. No riots here, although
you should see how pouty the locals get when the herring aren't running.

I live in a suburb. Luckily the city is nearby, because life in the burbs is pretty boring without going to the city once in a while. While San
Diego is a poor imitation of a city (it’s arts and music scene is pretty chitty), it makes do for some city stuff, but LA is close for weekend
getaways.
P.s. There would be no riots This week if there was no institutionalized racism.
The honkies that institutionalized racism are getting their karmic blowback.
This does not justify rioting, but you white people should be aware what happens when you tell your cops to treat blacks differently, and poorly.

Went out to dinner tonight.
Riots had zero impact.

I got a haircut!
Barber shops were allowed to re-open in Nevada County this week. I have known my barber since high school days back in the 60s, and he is still
cutting hair because retirement bores him.
There are no known cases of active covid19 infection in the county right now, so he gave me the option of "mask, or no mask" for both of us. For a
brief time, things were back to normal!

Back to the topic at hand, I heard rumors that Cabo is opening June 16th. Any truth to that? Seems a little crazy to me since BCS is still seeing a
rise is cases....or is the data a rumor, too?

Looks like June 16. https://www.visitloscabos.travel/blog/post/coronavirus-react.... Ground crossings are still (officially) closed for tourists until midnight June
22. Airlines are operating.
Probably will reopen with social distancing measures like fewer tables in restaurants and/or somebody spraying your hands with Chlorox before entering
the store.
Yes, crazy. Tourist businesses are crazy scared about loosing summer season. Money is a powerful factor.
No, data are not rumor - daily cases in Mexico are not dropping yet and probably are several times higher than officially reported. Don't know a
reliable source for Baja Sur to look at dynamics. Link at the beginning of article shows current number of cases.
