Why rush back? You should have hit some deserted areas.

Business as usual in San Felipe and Mexicali? No Bueno.

Good to hear that no one is on the road.

I would try not to be out and about in Mexico, anywhere, even in a deserted spot. The country has generalized and everyone is considered a TOURIST and everyone is considered a corona virus carrier.

Why rush back?


Maybe these are the reasons:
In many places the locals are throwing up roadblocks, masked men with pitchforks or guns,... tourists are not welcome right now....
There are no medical facilities in baja capable of handling the pandemic...
All are susceptible to the virus...





Woke!

Very convenient for you to chop this part of the post: "You should have hit some deserted areas."

Why do you want the world's economy to die? Why do you want ppl's spirits to die?

Are you hoping things go down further so you can pick up property and/or things cheap, and make a lot of money? I'm pretty sure that is your end game. You are not a good person at heart.

I could play that game too, but wouldn't.
