David, Thank you so much for all your photos. Marty and I appreciate seeing the color, familiar faces, places and activities of La Manzanilla. We miss our time there since we have chosen stay at home and work to appreciate the beauty of winter in Eastern Oregon until things return to "normal". You and Debbie stay safe and keep sharing your lovely photos.

I see people wearing masks without covering the nose all the time. It is the same as no mask at all as far as protecting oneself and protecting others. I'm sure most of them, like Laura, think that they are protecting themselves and others. So far I haven't called anyone out on it, but I do go to supervisors in larger stores to point out the problem. I haven't seen any improvements where I have spoken up though. I'm reminded of the old Soviet-era saying, "You pretend to pay us and we pretend to work." The update says, "and we pretend to wear a mask." Given the gravity of the current situation, I'd be nuts not to think that this has resulted and will continue to result in more transmission of the disease. Ni modo.

Yes, maybe if the Spanish term were less specific than "cubraboca" folks would cover mouth AND nose.

Good point David. Why the Mexican health folks didn't think of that is beyond me.
