The virus is spreading like wildfire down there right now, with no sign of slowing down. Same as in Brazil.

Not exactly, but he’s pushing the “freedom to not wear a mask” line as hard as Trump is. Trump, Lopez-Obrador, and Bolsinaro (Brazil) are all working from the same, deadly playbook regarding COVID-19.

Mexico probably can't close its border due to the massive flow of labor and goods.

But what the hell, Sturgis is open!

Normally I attend about four or five science fiction things each year, visit family and friends in several different cities, stuff like that. I miss doing that stuff, just like I miss Geeks Who Drink. None of that stuff is coming back any time soon. People who complain they're tired of staying home and so the just have to go someplace, are idiots.

Eventually this will be over. Maybe not until everyone on the planet has finally gotten it and either died or survived, but hopefully sooner than that would take, with either good reliable treatment, or safe and effective vaccine. Until then, hunker down.

Plus, New Zealand, and probably some other places are simply not open to anyone.

But I note that a vaccine does us no good if we all have it. What would be the point? A vaccine is a preventative.

TX. Thought we'd be seriously harassed when people saw our plates but no one did. Had docs with negative covid tests ready no one asked. Slapped a Biden sticker on car - maybe that did it. Semi-quarantined for one week.

Most people I know use vacation time to fix stuff at home or go to a campground.

I know very few people who can afford a vacation that involves air travel. All of them are retired boomers with pensions.
