Let’s see how Kiko responds to this, not a fan of his, unlike some others on here that won’t stick up for owners, like they follow every thing to the rule no matter how stupid they look.
Cases are going up in every geographic area surrounding Rocky Point. It would be probable that the number of cases begin to increase there as a result. If they haven't already within the last month with the family/friends returning. Americans with perm resident cards. Because if anyone has been paying attention 20% of positive infection is still making it's way through the sanitation filter. The virus is inside the body. Hard to believe. We're not spraying for staph bacteria here. WTF does spraying the inside of the car do? The virus is a respiratory disease inside the lungs passed through the air. 20% are asymptomatic spreaders that have undoubtedly made their way through the sanitation filter. This is a numbers and statistics lesson. Number of travelers from infected areas increases so does positive test rate in RP. Direct correlation. Even with filter. 20% of infected get through and make contact with even 10 people, do the math. Powers of ten after that. Ever seen those STD trees online about how quickly those can spread through just a few sexual partners?!
I guess they have to get rid of all those anti body tests Kiko bought, so they going to charge people with reservation at the place they made reservations. Every 10 car for everyone else.
Puerto Peñasco among the municipalities in red focus for Covid-19 in Sonora in the last week
* The mortality rate and cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Puerto Peñasco, Empalme, Caborca and Navojoa have increased in the last week
Due to the increase in the last week in deaths and cases of Covid-19 among inhabitants of Puerto Peñasco, this port is currently among the four municipalities in red focus for this virus, along with Empalme, Caborca and Navojoa.
Gerardo Álvarez Hernández, general director of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, announced this difficult situation yesterday afternoon.
Of the four municipalities in red focus, Empalme is where the most critical situation is experienced, since deaths and cases of covid-19 have increased by 43% in this municipality.
As for Peñasco, Caborca and Navojoa, the growth in cases and deaths has been between 38 and 24%.
Regarding the municipalities in intermediate focus, also in boxes for every 100,000 inhabitants, are Huatabampo, Hermosillo, Cajeme and Guaymas with a growth between 19 and 11%.
For its part, San Luis Río Colorado and Agua Prieta are between 8 and 6%, and Nogales is in green focus and with a growth of 0.7% in deaths and cases in the last week.

EXPONENTIAL.
CHOLLA BAY 4 LIFE
Come on Joe, you know they spray inside the vehicles because they know everyone from Maricopa County habitually licks the interior roof lining of their vehicle, and suckles on the steering wheel while driving.
So the answer to your WTF question about spraying inside the vehicle is one of 2 answers,
1. "It's better to be safe, than sorry."
Or,
2. "It's Mexico."
From my experience, when logic and common sense have no chance of prevailing, you can never go wrong with #2 .
I entered town from the direction of San Louis RC at 4:30 PM yesterday. The block is still in effect in front of Islas Del Mar. I drove over by the overpass and became third in line in a single lane passing under a tent. All vehicles were being waved through without having to stop. I don’t know if enforcement is now sporadic or has collapsed entirely.

That is good to hear, I would prefer to be sprayed as little as possible, it sounds like I'll also get sprayed entering Cholla Bay.
I'm going down early Sat and will find out what they're doing for my trip, it's still a cluster, but then Penasco
is doing what they think is right to protect themselves. (right or wrong or just a $$ grab?).
Telmex office is closed due to Covid19 outbreak there. There is a door on the outside of the building and inside there is a machine to make payments. Must have the exact change of your bill in pesos to make a payment. Many people standing in line in the heat waiting to make a payment. You can pay at OXXO.
This time of the year I'll gladly pay the 12 peso fee Oxxo charges. Even being on the beach in Aug. is still pretty miserable if
you don't enjoy the heat and humidity Penasco has now.
I have a silly question; I haven’t come across of anyone mentioning is the Rocky Point open for friends and family or is it still just residents and property owners? I know for a fact that Guaymas and San Carlos are open for all tourism already. Thanks in advance.

Open to everyone
What's the latest on the entry filter into Puerto Peñasco? Check the note titled "Important Info for visitors about Entry Filter" by the local Convention and Visitors Bureau at the link https://cometorockypoint.com/p…/entry-protocol-for-tourists/Keep in mind entry is open to everyone - visitors, guests, residents, homeowners, etc. -www.facebook.com/rockypoint360/
Thanks RP Life for your kind answer; however this is the part that bothers me: “It will be mandatory to show an official ID, present a reservation document for hotel, condominium, rental home, or something similar. I will not have a hotel reservation because I want to go to my brother’s property. He is the homeowner I’m not. Will they let me in without hotel reservation?

It's still confusing...but yes you can come as a family or friend, but you need to get in the line that says Municipal lane:
Guests with reservations at certified hotels, resorts, or sites not participating in the Prepaid Rapid Test Coverage will go through the Municipal Lane, with all additional vehicles entering via the filter. Random tests will also be applied in the Municipal Lane, but to an individual in every 5th car. The individual tested will be responsible for paying for the Covid-19 rapid test, at a cost of $31 USD or the equivalent in pesos.
They are only taking id and reservation info to charge that resort for the test now if the resort or hotel has agreed to pay instead of charging the visitor.

What a joke!!!!! Making tourists pay for a test that may or may not even be accurate!!!! LOLLLLLLLLLLLL Plus, have I mentioned that 20% of the virus is getting through the sanitation filter??? I can't remember if I mentioned that....
Please someone with a science background explain the theory of RANDOM testing for a deadly virus!! Like this is PRE EMPLOYMENT DRUG SCREENING... which, should I also mention, there are many ways AROUND.

I’ve got a science background but there is little to say about the rationale for the screening, which changes all of the time and is often not enforced in any event. Entry in PP is entirely random as is the return through Lukeville. Sometimes I get chewed out because “the border is in a category 4 lockdown” and my truck, my body and my dogs get x-rayed. Yesterday I just got waved through.
The amount of people with CV in Penasco has increased mucho since they opened it up again in June.
My local friend who does work for me got CV from his wife who got it from her family so there are 7 in both families with it.
Penasco has reported 99 cases total so far, this instance is 7 of 99? So I'm positive there are many more cases out there.
"There are many people who have it and will only go to the Dr. when they start getting worse.
There are many who can't afford to go to the DR. and pay for the test or the drugs prescribed.
They also said don't shop at Super Ley or the Bodega. they see people who are sick still shopping there.
One friend said he saw somebody who had their temp taken waiting to go into Sam's Club who had a fever
and told to go home, they just went next door to the Walmart"
The above comments are from 2 locals I'm friends with.
Here is what my CV positive friend was prescribed, 7 meds, 2 steroids, aspirin, some citrus med's that help with iron and Vit D absorption
also some anti-biotics from what I could translate and get results back from the search.
Attached is his prescription.
Here are his symptoms. 1st few days, high fever, head ache, bone pain and loss of smell and taste,
the last 4 days, shortness of breath because his bronchial tubes were inflamed.
The Dr. told him not to work and quarantine for 14 days and until the med's are finished. He then has to take another
CV test before he can be around others. He didn't because of the cost and he had little work for 4 months
It took him 7 days to feel better and of course he goes back to work immediately.
This is the attitude is how many locals are dealing with CV.
The cost of covid treatment in Mexico is the reason why many will die. The ones that have it can't afford to be treated so the virus keeps spreading.
Unaffordable costs
COVID-19 tests: From 1,250 pesos to 3,950 pesos
Treatment in normal bed: 435 thousand pesos
Treatment with life insurance: 222 thousand pesos
In intensive care units: 920 thousand pesos
Intubation patient: 947 thousand pesos
Outpatients: 14 thousand 449 pesos
This is one family's story
"Initially, we had to pay 300 thousand pesos as a deposit, because if it is not paid, they do not receive the patient, even if it is serious. We spent a total of 700 thousand pesos, my mother was in the hospital for 14 days, they did her studies and also intubated her, we took her to ISSSTE, but there they told us that they definitely did not have the antivirals that are being effective for COVID-19; We had to use all the family's credit cards and right now we are about to sell our cars, because we continue to pay the debt. My mother passed away on June 25 ”
Brokenwave, from what I can see in that prescription the Doc prescribed the Oxital (an anticonvulsant, prescribed for partial seizure disorders in epileptic children and adults, either alone or with other medication. It reduces anxiety and mood disorders. It also controls benign motor tics (sudden movements in body lasting for a short period of time); Redoxon (Redoxon was the brand name of the first artificially synthesized ascorbic acid. Redoxon was first marketed to the general public by Hoffman-La Roche in 1934, making it the first mass-manufactured synthetic vitamin in history. The brand is now owned by German pharmaceutical company Bayer and is sold in many countries); Celestamine (Betamethasone/dexchlorpheniramine is a drug containing betamethasone and dexchlorpheniramine maleate to treat allergic conditions. Betamethasone is a steroid to relieve itches and inflammation while dexchlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine to treat urticarial); Aspirin ( we all know this one). Fortunately he did not prescribe any Antibiotics; taking Antibiotics for viral illness is akin to pumping diesel fuel into a gasoline burning car; in this case the Antibiotics would have a reverse effect because it would weaken his immune system that creates antibodies for fighting the virus because it would force his immune system to search and fight the bacteria that are non-existent in his body.

Your resident pharmacist here- Actually he prescribed Oxital-C which is nothing more than an effervescent Vitamin C tablet. Redoxon is written here as an alternate and is an effervescent Vitamin C and Zinc tablet. Indeed the Celestamine is an antihistamine/corticosteroid combo. And the Tempra Forte is nothing more than extra strength Tylenol (acetaminophen). Nothing here is an anticonvulsant.
Mondone and Tec Diver,
Thanks for the clarification. I guess I misunderstood him when he told me an Anti-biotic was involved.
Do you guy's have any thoughts on what he was prescribed for his Covid as helpful or not?
Thx

My local friend said he paid approx 6,000 pesos ($275) for the CV test, Dr. visit and prescriptions total.
That is a little over 1.5 weeks wages for him when he was still working.
I will over pay him for the little projects he did for me, while we were gone the last 5 months, when I see him next week.

Nothing about Vitamin C is special, though some take it for the common cold, as in "Emergen-C" powder as an immune supplement. As far as the Redoxon which contains zinc, some feel it can lessen the duration of a virus infection, but no solid proof of it. Topical zinc for use in the nasal passages is sold over the counter as a common cold treatment. Again, no proof it actually does anything.
As far as corticosteroids go, we don't routinely use them in the treatment of COVID-19 in patients who do not require supplemental oxygen. Only in those that are mechanically ventilatedand in patients who require supplemental oxygen but who are not mechanically ventilated.
Antihistamine is fine if patient exhibits any sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, etc.
Aspirin is used for fever and discomfort. Why the doc is using Tylenol along with it is not a good practice. I don't recommend using both at the same time due to liver and kidney toxicity potential.
those prices for testing and hospitalization is the main reason many, if not the majority, in Mexico go home and self treat or just ride the wave and wait to see what happen, the saddest part is that the government will not do much for them either. Welcome to the real world!!!
Even at $700 pesos per test is more than most in RP make in a week or just about
Start doling out the hydroxychloroquine. It's cheap and gets great results according to international studies and doctors who have been using it with their patients.

In Mexico is it possible to buy without a prescription? Have any Mexican doctors down there tried to prescribe it?

Alert on possible massive Covid-19 outbreak in Puerto Peñasco
As a result of the tourist opening of the municipality
PUERTO PEÑASCO. - The San Eduardo Clinic, through its Facebook account, warned «I see a massive outbreak coming in which we will not have the capacity to react, nor the spaces to attend to our patients, and worse still, there will not be enough medicine to cope, yes no we stop this massive relaxation.
In another message, the hospital stated “I see with sadness how people definitely do not understand even in spite of the deaths in the city and the amount of infections that we are experiencing. I hope in God to fight the battle and to be able to continue with the fight that we have led for the people even though they do not understand.
On the other hand, if we add to the messages from this clinic that the port was completely opened to tourism, after a rebound in cases and deaths from coronavirus, the result can be fatal for the inhabitants of this municipality.

This was always going to be the most probable outcome. False sense of security that the sanitation filter was going to keep the virus out.
You are one sick puppy. People are dying or I guess you think lying, and you repetitively poke your sick little saying. What are you trying to do convince everyone you know all ?? I wish you would leave town and not come back. We sure do not need sickos like you cracking jokes while people are suffering.
You have made you point at least 50 times. Isn't that enough?? We all know what you represent. Please go to a funeral of one of the victims and wander around whispering "Fear Porn" to the weeping family members. They will all be very grateful for your kindness and understanding in their time of loss. No you will not do that you are too spineless and cowardly to stand up and be proud of your beliefs publicly. Hide behind the computer..
Letting thousands of people into Penasco from Mexico's hot spots, ex. Mexicali and the US hot spots AZ, Texas and California
probably wasn't the greatest idea to control Covids spread into Penasco.
But without a Govt that can just spin the money printing presses like the US did what choice did they have.
A majority of the people in Mexico are much closer to the poverty level than in the US.
So you can't let people go hungry. It's a double sided blade sadly.

My family and I as of today know of nobody that has gotten this virus . You can wish all you want , my question to you is what in the hell you going to do when the cold and flue season hit . you will be in in lock down for ever.
I hope I'm wrong, really wrong.
But I have a feeling between the seasonal Flu and round 2 of Covid it's going to be a nightmare.
Start paying attention to Europe's numbers, if you see the new cases start rising in Italy, France, UK and Germany, well that's whats going to
happen here 4-6 weeks later. Again I really hope I'm wrong on this.
Pay attention to this site which has Europe's numbers and compare the previous 3 days, click on the Europe tab. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#news

you must not know many people the hospitals in phoenix metro are 90% full and yuma cant even handle the pandemic that they need to bus the sick to New Mexico of all places because phoenix tucson dont have the room for them. I know 4 people in sonora that caught it alone not in penasco and 3 in phx they survived but hit hard. Hopefully by fall the hospitals have a grip on it an can handle it by then.

Well Steve I am glad none of your family has the imaginary disease, but if they do I hope you are there standing by the bed while they struggle for a breath and puke blood and slowly slip away. You can chant "Fear Porrn". Maybe be it will be a poor little fragile grandchild there in bed choking while you joke your sick little mantra. Can't you imagine a helpless little child curled up hacking and catching his last breath?? Maybe a favored child wheezing , struggling for that last breath while you look on chanting "Fear Porn". A wife,and father, a favored niece. the parents who gave you life slipping away while you chuckle "Fear Porn" I hope you are there watching if that happens , but then how can you pretend it does not exist. No Steve, you will not be bedside to provide comfort for your family. You will be out in the street squawking 'Fear Porn, Fear Porn" . what you are Steve is a spineless, gutless POS whiner making up asinine slogans to keep your own fears at bay.
You ask what am I going to do when the cold and flu season hit??? I am going to do everything possibly to help advocate for the best treatment and not whine about it. You have already indicated you will go about your life spewing whatever disease you might contact in other people's faces. You are obviously a very ignorant, selfish person, I am glad I am not part of your family.
Just to clarify, anyone who would refuse to wear a piece of cloth over their mouth and nose to help prevent spread of a disease, especially to their own family is a POS in my book.

Spoken like a true liberal , degrading those who don't agree with your views , this isn't a imaginary disease it's the flue of witch they have no vaccine for and there's about 25%of the population that don't take any vaccin . Looks like at this point about 40% won't take this new vaccine . If your a student of history go back and read about the 1918 Spanish flue and at the same time we were fighting world war 1 . All flue is bad but this one is just a fraction of that one . This particular flue has a lot to do with politics . we will see what happens the day after the election . I am very happy your not as member of my family because you be an embarrassment and we wouldn't want that.

Here in Tucson the hospitals typically run at 83% . Tmc has removed the 30 beds that were for this flue , no longer needed .

I don't know any of these people, not even one of the 79 that have died so far today. So what's your point?
I personally meet a couple, 4 or 5, and luckily they all recuperated, this is an aggressive virus, for some more than others, yes someone mention before 2% of the .7%, IMHO, that gets it might die from it, however, there are lots and lots of people that have never experience it other than what they hear from the FaceBook doctors, mainly, that does not mean it does not exist, political or not it is here and it is up to every single one of us to be respectful to others and keep nasty comments when family members are hurting or dying, agree to disagree or whatever you want to call it, just like Aretha used to say a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Then shut up and stick your thumb back in your mouth. You bring politics into it daily by bad-mouthing liberals when in fact it was the denial of this administration that put you in the position you are in today. I didn't say anything he says. I say bullshit to that!
You know that about 2% of the population has gotten the virus, right and only about 2% of those, die from it. With 4 million people in the PHX area, not knowing someone with it is not uncommon.
Incorrect. The first number is impossible to know. 20% at least asymptomatic. It would be impossible to know how widespread the virus is. I believe the infection rate could be a lot higher. Why some people's immune system is able to "deal" with it is a different argument.
For every 100k, 20k have it and feel fine. They are not getting tested. Do the math on 5 million.

Though I'm not out and about at all among the population except to pick up my online purchases from Frys and I live alone, I could be asymptomatic.
I live very close to where Clear Creek goes under the bridge on 260, and the closest "city" is Cottonwood 25 miles away. To the east of me, the nearest city is 50 miles away, Payson. I will not try to get myself tested anytime soon.

If I lived in a place as beautiful as that I will never live the homestead, I will be a true hermit, nothing you could need can be bought on the internet....

Steve say's "do I hear you winning there Kenny and my family and I are in great shape , most of them are in the medical field ."
Yes, I'm "winning". Now tell me, is your family in the educational "field" as well?
I wonder which branch of the medical field they work at, especially when you make it sound like a large number of your family members work in the medical field and not one of them have seen or come closed to anyone infected by this virus and mention one word to their family for prevention, just saying because for a little bit there AZ was considered the hot spot of virus infections or are they also non-believers of the virus even though they are around it? because you know, inquiring minds wanna know!!

Steve has only one post on here that wasn't some nonsense on this subject. It was his very first post and the only accurate one to date. It was just two words, "slim Jim".
I have been laughing my ass off at the Maduro Medical conglomerate whose members are apparently disbelievers or unfamiliar with a worldwide illness from which how many deaths to which that disorder has either directly or indirectly contributed? Share with us Steve, what medical institutions does your family hide at so we can avoid it? Good connections at the mortuary and cemetery I bet.
He also made a comment , then erased it , that he was NOT wearing a MASK. How do you feel about your family contributing to the death of little children there .Steve?? Are they all anti- maskers?? Do you wear a mask to protect your family and folks you see in the street and stores??? That is what it is for there Stevie, not you. Shows your regard and the absence of respect for others. It's all about Stevie not having to make a fool out of himself wearing a mask. Hard to do the chant with the mask on ??
'You comment on my politics. You have no earthly idea what they might be not could you guess or understand them. That is YOUR excuse for your ignorant behavior. that anyone should connect it to a disease is the height of ignorance. talk about porn !!! that is a real example Stevie.

Current deaths of covid 19 in the United States is 26 as of June 7th out of 5 million cases extremely low . I death is to many but extremely low ,you Kenny ,seem to stock the fires of fear . Right now the death rate of covid 19 is 0.03% , you need to back off on the caffeine and Take a breath . Like have said , I fear our local government way more than I fear this virus .

?????????????????????????????? Hummm, I am seeing some different numbers 5.2 Million cases with 165,431 Deaths ,
that's 3.18% and if you're over 50 it's under 2% over 60, 5% over 70, 8-10% over 80, 17-18%..
So if you're in a younger age group you can live with the Covid death ratio's.
If your older, that 2-18% becomes a we bit more important.
No first hand knowledge, but a local friend has said he believes total Covid cases are approx 1,500 in Penasco. He knows of 25ish people
who have or had it. Many people who have gotten sick just stayed home, because they simply can't afford to go get checked out.
So with Penasco saying case totals are 99, you can make your own assumptions. I feel we're only getting a part of the picture.
It wouldn't take a lot to over run Penasco's health system if suddenly 30-50 people came down with Covid who needed to be hospitalized,
Current deaths of covid 19 in the United States is 26 as of June 7th out of 5 million cases extremely low . ....../QUOTE]
numbers for June 7th for both total cases and death cases for the USA
Total case 18525 total death cases 448 = 2.42% approx. unless you want more digits after the 2 to be more accurate to the full/round number
Not that I am agreeing nor disagreeing with everybody else's number just stating the facts from what I found, and as we all know we have been given the wrong numbers from the very beginning, however, 26 death on June 7th out of 5 million, the latter is the numbers as of yesterday or a couple of days ago most definitely not June 7th, 5 million even if the numbers were grossly exaggerated was never that close to on June 7th
Last month we had 178 deaths in one day just here in AZ and then people started to wake up and take the proper precautions. I've been picking up my groceries, (they bring them out to me) about every two weeks and when I went yesterday, the use of masks had gone up from very few to maybe 90%.
What Arizona does or doesn't do has a direct effect on PP, but there's been a lag time.

Arizona Reports 816 New Coronavirus Cases and 13 More Deaths... That's so far into this day. It will go higher. More
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona health officials on Sunday reported 816 additional confirmed COVID-19 cases with 13 more deaths amid slowing of the state’s coronavirus outbreak.
The Arizona Department of Health Services’ latest figures increased the state’s total confirmed COVID-19 cases to 186,923 and the reported death toll to 4,150.
the scariest part is the asymptomatic people that do not believe in the virus and go around spreading it, I personally think that is not as bad as they painted to us, however, I always use a mask and keep my distance, no matter where I go!!

Let me put it how serious this is to some of us. If you came into my yard, maskless and coughed or sneezed in the vicinity of my family complaining about Fear Porn, you would have to crawl home, if you could. that would be after you were rolled into the street. Your little Fear Porn joke is not a joke to people who care about others. We do not fear it we respect it and have enough common sense to realize a simple act, like a mask in public, could save a life. I seem to recall you were touting common sense at one point but you don't seem to have any. The probability of contracting cancer is relatively small but the consequence can be enormous, as is this disease.
And hey that new report says only 7 kids. Surely we can spare 7 kids ! It's not worth having to wear a mask to try to save only 7 kids is it Steve? You can yak about what you deem low death rates but how would you feel if one of your family was in that group? seems to me that just ONE death is worth trying to prevent.

Stevie boy why did you take my name off your post of 1:14 today??
If Dr. Castro Castro has some information to pass along, I would listen . He has had supervisory responsibilities from almost day 1. He is not making it up.
What many of you may not know is that in the beginning all suspected infected people were immediately sent to Hermosillo for the initial examination period. Remember when people who thought they had the symptoms were instructed to NOT go to a local Dr,. clinic or hospital but to call a phone number for instructions? If they were clear in Hermosillo they came home , if infected they were quarantined in Hermosillo effectively keeping Penasco'S count at zero for an extended time. As everyone knew Penasco could not handle a load, Hermosillo has large hospitals and more capacity so it was a good strategy at the time and it had the positive side effect of some protection for the resort town's reputation and time to prepare. Not much was understood about the virulence and severity of this disease in the early days. Unfortunately Penasco lost a number of medical people during this period. Even masks were hard to find till a couple of merchants, Numero;s for one. found some suppliers and put them on the shelf. I found some in Mexicali early on in the US but there was no transportation to get them here.
SO pardon me if I am sick of hearing Fear Porn from some dope distort facts and who knows nothing and cares less. Remember the little children till we beat this thing. Let's not quit till it is gone.

Just because we want to fight this thing and beat it in no way means we are afraid. We are not going about whimpering Fear Porn, whatever the hell that means.
I've seen 3 of my local friends this trip and none of them were wearing anything I call a quality mask.
One friend a bar tender had what looked like 2 pieces of tissue paper with some rubber bands, this is what he has to wear while working.
Another was wearing a bandanna (he was the one who had Covid).
My 3rd friend had a designer mask that looked worthless.
We brought down 60 - 3 ply masks, not the best being about 60% effective but much better than what they had.
We will keep a few for ourselves for the remainder of our trip this week and leave the balance with my friends
who can share them with their families.
When we return next month I'll bring a few boxes of them with us.
This just shows peoples attitudes towards the Covid, places like the US, Mexico, much of Latin America seem to not care
as much which is why new cases are still high everyday. This is amazing because we're 5 month's into this.
Places in Europe who took this seriously are reporting new cases at a much,much lower rate than us.

So now the social justice warriors are complaining about the quality of masks people are wearing? It went from no masks to your mask isn't good enough? If this troubles you so much, stay home. Stop worrying about what others are doing and mind your business.
P.S. If Europe is such a paradise, airplane tickets are cheap now and you are free to head over. You will be disappointed when you get there.
Badly needed is an understatement. If they would have put in place and followed a few simple guidelines we wouldn't have the 4,158 deaths that have been reported to date. I'm glad most are starting to get it, with the exception of our two trolls of course, and that gives me a little hope. But man, as a whole, Arizona had dropped the ball and their inaction has cost lives on both sides of the border.

As of mid July, The US isn't an approved travel partner so not many Euro zone countries are allowing the CV infested residents of
the US to travel there currently.

Aw come on. You can easily find a way around that ban to get your infested self into that paradise. You just don't want it bad enough.
Won't happen. If something like this does come along, suspects will be given a quick Chinese virus test and then will be free to cross the border. If they do test positive twice, they will be allowed to quarantine in the US in some govt approved facility.
