Looks like lock down will continue for awhile

Boy, that is an expensive beer. How do you amortize $180 (for 2) across a case of tecate?

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

Mexico Tells Towns, States: Stop Putting Up Virus Roadblocks and Curfews

The department said in a statement that such measures violate constitutional rights like the right to free movement, and argued that local governments don’t have the authority to enact them.

“The health emergency does not constitute a state of emergency or suspension of rights,” the department wrote.

Several articles out there.

Date of reopening coming soon....

At a virtual meeting held on April 28th with Sonora Governor Claudia Pavlovich, along with mayors from across the state and Government Secretaries, Puerto Peñasco mayor Ernesto Kiko Munro proposed a date be defined for the gradual reopening of economic and social activities in Sonora and municipalities. He also urged that Puerto Peñasco be considered as a municipality free of Covid-19.


The mayor explained the Sonora Health and Safety Board still has to meet to begin defining a date or term to begin reactivating certain parts of social and economic life. At the State Board meeting, which is still pending, the diverse proposals will be addressed, which the mayor hopes will be received favorably by the state authorities.

The mayor further detailed, with respect to the rapid tests for detection of Covid-19 that are now being done in Puerto Peñasco, these meet the norms and protocols of the World Health Organization and the United Nations.

In a state Press Release following the virtual meeting with mayors and state officials, Governor Claudia Pavlovich highlighted, following coordinated work of residents and authorities, as a whole the state is 51% below numbers of Covid-19 cases initially projected for the end of April for Sonora.

While 57 of Sonora’s 72 municipalities are free of any Covid-19 cases, the Governor noted it is not time to let down our guard as the peak in Sonora is expected the second part of May, particularly between May 10th – 20th. State Public Safety Secretary David Anaya Cooley told the mayors, “with respect to the pandemic, I ask you to see May 20th as the challenge, to accomplish what you have achieved thus far, to provide calm to our families.”

From March 16th, when Covid-19 was first detected in Sonora, to April 28th, there have been: Confirmed Covid-19 cases: 267, Deaths: 31, Recovered: 42, Overall tests: 1253

The majority of the Covid-19 cases have been in San Luis Rio Colorado (131), followed by Hermosilo (55), Huatabamo (17), Cajeme (16), Nogales (12), Caborca (8), Guaymas (7), Navojoa (6), Magdalena and Saric with 4 each, Opedepe and Etchojoa with 2 each, and one confirmed case in each of the cities of Agua Prieta, General Plutarco Elias Calles (Sonoyta), and Puerto Peñasco

Shit now that's HOT!

 

[Mexico Joe]

I'm not selfish enough to demand shit re-open. I definitely miss not being able to visit Cholla Bay right now. My hope would be that we get one trip in before July. That would be enough to satisfy this thirst. The last 3 years, from SuperBowl weekend to Mid June I have gotten down to CB 6 times each year respectively. I hit the spring months hard! Last year we had two, two trip months. Then we put RP on layaway until Labor Day or October. Usually never go in December or January and then BOOM! February - June like I'm FM3 SON!

 

[Idyllwild]

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 crew (from out of town) got arrested a few days ago for ignoring the shut down orders. Acquaintances had to bail them out of jail.

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

 

[MIRAMAR]

We don't have to go through that- checkpoint because we turn at the Caborca highway,so Miramar and Dorada homeowners can get to their homes. That is the only checkpoint to get to town or to LC or Encanto

There is no checkpoint on the Caborca Hiway coming from Playa Encanto to Fremont?

You just made my day. (and no border hassle?)

Heading South towards Peñasco, As I understand it the police road block is on the south side of the bridge. If so is it possible for me to head south and take the Caborca freeway out to Miramar and miss the police altogether?

Just one entrance into town, even miners buses can't get through that east side entrance or either, I personally wouldn't attempt it, they will turn you back like everyone else.
