Covid news from the interior of Mexico

Posted by Stephanie on November 30, 2020, 12:59 pm

My last customer at the bookstore today happened to be a phlebotomist Dr. who works at a hospital in Guanajuato! She is here visiting with mask on for a much needed break from all the cases they are seeing at her hospital!

I wanted to question her more but she had an emotional break when describing how the whole first floor of the the hospital has now been turned into a morgue and her stress was apparent,

I think she was surprised at the lack of masks seen on the streets here given we have many buses coming from all parts.

Just saying! Be safe!

Yikes, thanks for the news. This could be a deal breaker for us coming to La Manz. Yes, nice to be in the fresh warm air, but not if it has covid virus floating right into our faces! Because people are not using their god given brains!!!!
Someone needs to direct traffic on this! The people on the buses are not wearing masks? Holy Cow??? Whew!
There is a cop in a parking lot near where we live making peple wear masks. Perhaps someone who has no purpose in life might want one. Where the buses stop, sell masks to the people getting or tell them they cannot come to La Manz.

Where are you, that all these precautions are taking place?
Possibly you may not want to take any chances traveling.
Best to stay home when you can.

I THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE GOVERNOR OF JALISCO?
As a matter of fact, a Broker of a real estate company told us that people over 60 years old are not allowed to be in offices.
Where are you from?

So the Governor of the state of Jalisco also rules La Manzanilla, is that true???
or are you exempt from wearing masks doing into stores or in public?
Even Mitch McConnell is not having in person lunches. Hmmmm That is something new from the party that is so against wearing masks, don't you think, or do you you?

The government has determined that the state is in the orange on the national stoplight system.
Authorities in Jalisco are implementing Phase 0 Reopening regulations.
While they are working towards reopening non-essential businesses,
they are still strictly enforcing the mandatory wearing of face masks in all public areas.

I wonder who is strictly enforcing the Governor's regulation.
You cannot get into a store without wearing a mask and you will be stopped if you are in public if you are not wearing a mask.

After stying in close touch with medical people, educating oneself seems to be an intelligent thing to do.
We watch the BBC news to get a global perspective of life.
Fear is not very intelligent, but educating oneself and common sense and respecting other's health might be a good neighbor thing to do.

I don't know if people understand that when you wear a mask, THEY are protected from you and your bacteria etc. YOU are NOT PROTECTED from their bacteria if they do not wear a mask. It is about RESPECTING others health.
Do you like the fact that your chances of survival seems to be linked to the common sense of others?
It is understandable if some people are illiterate... perhaps?
La Manzanilla's economy largely depends on the Gringo's foreign dollars for at best 5 months of the year. After reading on the message board that at least one person was Medevaced for medical care, one would think that the Gringos would want to keep it safe for everyone. Especially, since the Governor has shut Jalisco down 2 times already this year. The hospitals don't have room for any more Covid patients.
Many snowbirds were wishing they could be in La Manz, but after hearing the stories about covidiots not respecting others health, the economy of everyone in La Manz has suffered.
I guess it is pay now, or pay later. Very few towns or cities have been able to escape it!
Just look at the graph that was posted by M Morgan at 9:49 pm Nov 30. Covid has become the number 1 killer of people in Mexico, overtaking Coronary heart disease which is normally number 1 in most countries
This subject was started by Stefanie on Nov 30 at 12:59 pm posted her experience with a Specialist Dr who was having a breakdown as she explained that the first floor of their hospital was now a morgue. It is not FEAR, but simply information and a REALITY CHECK and it is wonderful to have the La Manz message board so that people can take the pulse of the community.

I have communicated with you by email requesting you to stop but you
have chosen to continue, so I have blocked you IP address.

Thank you mr moderator. This person is uninformed. If I wanted fear mongering and misinformation I would have stayed in the USA. Covid is coming nice again out of control but for us Boca de iguanas is not only
Our happy place but where we feel the most safe

The only way she would be "over the top" is if her mask wasn't covering her nose.

Things are very bad in California with a possible statewide stay at home order looming from the Governor. We live in a sparsely populated, coastal Mendocino County town. Our local covid infection numbers are very, very low. We see 100% of residents wearing masks indoors and outside where folks are passing on sidewalks etc..
I hope Lamanz escapes a serious outbreak as there is not healthcare infrastructure/capacity.

Seriously, you kicked her off because she thinks people should wear masks?
