Biozinc is nonsense. These disinfection tunnels are for show. (Retired scientist with hundreds of publications here).

The source was a clinical trial. The adverse effects of this drug on cardiovascular function were already well known and unsurprising. Even Trump has moved on to other distractions.

This is what many people want to know. We are in town, but one of us would like to leave for a few days and then return. There are at least a half dozen explanations of whether and how this can be done. The city intended to allow residents in using rapid testing for a $90 fee, but they...

I thought you were treated poorly for an informative post that I found useful. The level of argumentation and straight out trolling on this forum will eventually run off many people who might use it. One point of correction however. The CDC estimate for ordinary influenza deaths in the US for...

Burrito Express is closing at 3 PM. $32 per month plus package charge.

This is an RNA test for active COVID infections. Nearly all commercial antibody tests currently are somewhere between unreliable and worthless. Also various tests purportedly test for different antibodies (it’s not clear which one should be preferred). Finally, we don’t have a sense as to...

I just got back from Sam’s. If anything, town is continuing to empty out. Fewer cars on the road than last week. Food items are well stocked. So much toilet paper that it’s on sale. We’ve not been to a restaurant since March 9.

Did they let you into town last night through the big checkpoint just south of the overpass?

This morning we were expecting a visit from Hacienda del Sol to perform maintenance on blinds they installed and measure for blinds in another room. The truck was stopped at a police checkpoint and turned around. Also we heard from acquaintances who are building a house down the street. Their...

$180 is 10 seconds worth of volatility in the stock market this month.

If I read the most recent announcement correctly, and remember that all of this could change at any moment, it looks like the lockdown will effectively end in a few days for anyone willing to pay $90 for rapid testing on the way in (or back in for those of us still in Puerto Peñasco). One of us...

Yes, no entry to Bodega if you are 60+. I was in Sam’s yesterday and Super Norte a few days ago. Mostly the police and military just wave or ignore me, but police were checking for face masks at a stop on Benito Juárez a few days ago.

It’s currently scheduled to be, but read the fine print. Opening doesn’t mean ending the travel ban from outside the city. It just means lower restrictions inside the city. Bodega Aurera is now excluding people 60+ entirely. Police are stopping motorists on Benito Juárez to enforce face...

Many and probably most homeowners insurance policies in the US won’t cover damage from tidal and wave action. I’ve got homeowners insurance through Portuguese, and they cover fire, theft, and not much else.

When you have three homes you shelter in place.

I live in Puerto Peñasco outside the “sanitary barrier”. So, I’ve been through it a couple of times after it got really serious, including this morning. It is really serious. I’ve needed to show documents going in and going out. Most critically my residence card and electric bill. My...

I was stopped at checkpoint just south of the overpass on the main road this morning. Even after studying my residence card and CA DL they still wanted an electric bill, which was at home. They finally wrote my information down in a book and let me through. Also note that Bodega is letting...

In Southern California theft of catalytic converters from Toyota Priuses has been a big problem. We are on our fourth Prius in 21 years. Our two generation 2 Priuses (from 04 and 07) made it to about 180,000 miles. The converter on our 06 failed at about 160,000 miles. We hid it for a year...

I’m shifting from an employer based health plan to a Medicare supplement program that will allow me to keep my current healthcare providers in Southern California with network access to services in Arizona. The unknown I’m dealing with is Medicare part D prescription drug plans. The essential...
