Corona virus in Vizcaino
Les heard from 2 people yesterday that the huge tomato farm owned by our amiga Suzie has ten workers who came back from Chiapas on the mainland sick
with the Virus.
That is all I know, as I learn more, I will keep everyone posted.

They need to be isolated as do everyone they have come in contact with.
Heard a doctor say on the news tonight that social distancing is the most effective way to stop the spread. Stay away from others as much as you can.
Frequent handwashing and wearing a mask if around others.

That's disturbing. When I left 3 weeks ago there were 2 cases in the Mulege Municipality. Now there are 43.

Mexicans must do their counts differently than we do. Check out the above link. Both the La Paz and Los Cabos municipalities have more recoveries than
cases. How can that be? The only way to explain it is that they track active cases, not historical cases. That may explain why the cases in Mexico are
so much lower than in the US. Actually, I just don't get it.

His mom must have gone to the store for groceries and he's on her computer again. Just a little boy crying for attention.

This is about the covid-19 pandemic, not the gluttony pandemic. Mouth coverings are effective in combatting both however.

Was curious about virus counts in Chiapas (one of my favorite travel destinations), and found this: (Some Mex. states not getting ahead of
containment to say the least).
5/28/20:
Hundreds of people took to the streets in Venustiano Carranza, Chiapas, Wednesday night after rumors spread on social media that the government was
trying to kill them.
Around midnight Wednesday and into the early hours of today, residents went on a rampage provoked by false reports that the municipal government was
using drones to spray a deadly chemical at residents who do not believe that the coronavirus exists.
Angry mobs of citizens armed with sticks and stones looted an Elektra department store and burned down the home of Mayor Amando Trujillo Ancheyta,
that of his in-laws, as well as the residence of Chiapas Governor Rutilio Escandón’s elderly mother, who escaped the blaze unharmed.
Streets were blocked off and vehicles belonging to medical personnel were looted and burned. The message disseminated on WhatsApp and Facebook said
that a community member had shot down a drone and discovered it was carrying a box of white powder, said to be Paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide.
Some residents said that the mayor was using the herbicide to kill them, decried the existence of the coronavirus and believe that a local saint,
“El Señor del Pozo,” would protect them from sickness, just as he is believed to have cured a woman of leprosy in the 1690s.

6.2 million, 375,000.
sorry if those numbers get in the way of your personal agenda and beliefs. But no worries, those numbers change every day - right!

It's not going to magically disappear. The sooner we get herd immunity the better.
Isolation only helps medical ppl get ready to care for the very few who won't recover naturally.

The need to put food on the table overshadows everything else. Besides, the majority are ignorant and won't listen to any reasoning. 20% of Americans
aged 25-35 still believe that the Earth is flat. The picture is not much better South of the border, those working on farms probably can't read, half
of them.

Its good to see people exploring options and inventing things to help. Hopefully they come out with foot operated option for those Yaqui Taco perrones
that require two hands to eat. And ribs.

If they arrive at the numbers the same way each day/week, they will show trends.

Once upon a time in lands far away, large holes began to appear in the ground everywhere. At first people thought that the unusual occurrences
were not going to continue, and certainly would not present any concerns for them....and that they would soon fill in over time....and , at worst,
create an oddity that folks could theorize about for years to come.
However, the mysterious holes began to appear and get larger throughout all the lands... and it became evident that people were falling into
these holes.....some were able to crawl out....some not.
It seemed that the elders who fell in the holes were dying more frequently than the younger people who fell. The physical fragility and vulnerability
of the elders, some said, was unfortunate....but some rationalized the growing number of deaths would soon end and life would return to normal.
Before long, it became evident that the people from far and wide who managed to stay a good distance from these dangerous holes were not
falling in and dying, or getting injured as seriously as some others who fell.
As the strange and mysterious holes began to appear throughout all the lands, people began to develop sensible as well as non-sensible
theories about how to create safety and defend themselves from falling into these holes.
Rumours spread like a wildfire.....some suggested wearing certain amulets would protect them from falling, and some said that the holes
were imaginary and people were simply dying from old age or their bad health. Some even suggested that eating dirt from the holes would prevent them
from falling in.
Before long, it was suggested by some that staying away from the killing holes would reduce the chance of falling into any of these holes.
This idea seemed sensible to most, while others were more focussed on who to blame for the holes appearing or even denying that the holes existed.
The hole-avoidance theory was making logical and statistical sense to most.....with some saying it was primarily intended to stop the event
of falling into holes..... while others maintained it was okay to go near the holes, and that the hole-avoidance theory was only initiated to keep
the healers and hospitals less busy .... and implying that once we all fell into the holes, most of us would recover from injuries and never fall
into a hole again.....
So, as time went on, most people recognized that avoiding these dangerous holes by staying a healthy distance away from them was the
strategy best applied to avoid the risks of harm to one's health....
Moral of story: Stay away from dangerous holes that can kill you....and others you take with you. Do it to protect yourself and those you care for. A
tertiary benefit of hole-avoidance might be helping the healers with their workload....but the primary role of hole avoidance is to not fall into the
holes .....
Don't believe everything you think....
