We happened to be talking to two Canadian ladies when one enlightened us with a new fact: the Pandemic was caused by people catching COVID from having received the vaccines!

You just cannot fix STUPID!

No, unfortunately you can't fix stupid. Stay safe everyone.

Now that mask mandates and proof of vaccine to enter places have lifted, they have no reason to rant about Covid, because no one is infringing on their "freedoms"- they've shifted their attention to Hunter Biden's laptop and climate change denial. :-)

I require my guests to have been vaccinated, which tends to eliminate the brain- damaged.

I have no problem at all with unvaccinated people. It certainly doesn't stop them from getting or spreading covid. It's their choice, why should I care?

No, it doesn't prevent getting or spreading, but anti-vaxxers are much more likely to be carriers because they think Covid is some hoax and take zero precautions. Or they simply don't care if they infect others and will go out and about maskless when they have Covid because they don't feel that sick. And from the research I have done, apparently unvaccinated people carry a bigger viral load if they do get Covid, so are more likely to infect others.

I host a private room in my home and guests share my kitchen, that's why I care.
Not to mention I have no interest in sharing my home with people of that mind set.

Not putting ourselves on a pedestal but we were lucky enough to hit the vaccine cycle in the US that we were able to get the initial two vaccines and all three Boosters. Certainly must admit that we were primarily primarily interested in personal protection by getting the jabs. But from the very get-go we have worn masks in consideration of others and we still do when in confined spacers or crowds. We also recognize the fact that the Mexican populace has been at a disadvantage because of the spotty distribution fiasco they have designed. I know we would not have been comfortable with the choices found here vs the 5 Pfizer jabs we had.

The recent Artisans Feria was disappointing to us because of their lock of COVID mitigation efforts. All the Artisans were required to be double vaccinated and they were instructed to ask hosts what their mask preferences were. Meanwhile, Gringos, buyers from around Mexico and the rest of the world were NOT required to document their vaccination status or wear masks because Jalisco had dropped the rules on mask wearing. So the "it's all about me crowd" gave no consideration for ithers!

Ever heard of paying attention to the news that hospitals in many places are running higher occupancy rates than at the height of the Pandemic with COVID, RSV and FLU cases? MASKS ANYONE?

I’m still using masks indoors. A few weeks ago at Quality Care there were several in the waiting room maskless. Yeasterday I was happy to see all were wearing them, especially since Monday is when the Pulmonologist, Dr. Peralta is there. If I may, I’d like to put in a plug for him because he’s so good and he has become my favorite doctor of all time. He also treats sleep disorders.

Sixth wave of Covid-19


Mexico has entered the sixth wave of Covid-19
Written in NATIONAL on 12/14/2022 08:13 hs

Mexico is in the sixth wave of Covid-19, after an increase in coronavirus cases in six weeks.

According to the undersecretary of health, Hugo López Gatell, the latter registered an increase in the last five weeks, going from 3,223 to 13,722 between November 1 and December 6, according to the latest published report.

"Mortality is frankly low, fortunately this is the result of the extensive vaccination that has been carried out throughout the territory." Communicate López Gatell.

The official has mentioned that the culprit for the return of these infections is winter, since he has said that "Respiratory infections caused by viruses have a greater transmission capacity during the cold season, since we usually congregate in closed spaces and because the efficiency of the immune system at the level of the respiratory system is less efficient.

Estos son los estados con mayor número de contagios de Covid-19
• Quintana Roo
• Edomex
• Nuevo León
• Yucatán
• CDMX
• Sonora
• Guanajuato
• Jalisco
• Chihuahua.

I should have said he treats sleep apnea, not all sleep disorders.

Today, we watched a Martha Raddatz interview with Gov Abbott of TX on the Immigragration fiasco in the US. No dispute that it is a mess but the only point he could make was that the immigrants were not tested for COVID. SAY WHAT? How about all the redneck antivaxxers and anti mask citizens that are allowed to head south into Mexico?]
