The Ministry of Health reported 5,211 new infections of COVID-19 in Mexico, 1,448,755 since the start of the pandemic last February.
While with 362 deaths registered in 24 hours, accumulated deaths from complications of the disease rose to 127,213, according to the latest update of the daily technical report.

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known as AMLO, won the presidency in 2018.
He laid out a five-year plan with a call for a “new paradigm” in justice. It was a recognition that neither the police nor the military could snuff out demand for drugs in Mexico itself.
Two years on, the plan seems like a failure. Violence is up. The gangs haven’t been displaced. Other countries have warned against nonessential travel to various Mexican states.

Purchases of different vaccines - Mexico, for example, with about 130 million inhabitants, the second most populous country in Latin America, plans to vaccinate 10 million people per month for free, as announced by the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. His government bought 34 million doses from Pfizer-BioNTech, and that company will take care of keeping them deep-frozen.

Travel notices from CDC (Center of Disease Control): Level 4 - Very High Level of Covid in MX. Travel may increase your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. Travelers should avoid all travel to Mexico. If you must travel, talk to your doctor ahead of travel, especially if you are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19.

The fact that a significant number of Americans still voted for Donald Trump despite his actions over the past four years shows what is acceptable in the United States.
And that is devastating, no matter who ends up in the White House!

Google is honoring the German history of dachshunds and the dashboard bobblehead figures made in their likeness with an interactive bobblehead Doodle. Literally translating to “wobbling dachshund,” the wackeldackel is a bizarrely iconic piece of German pop culture history,

It's been already 60 years...... "The Flintstones" was prehistoric by design when it premiered Sept. 30, 1960.
Sixty years later, primetime TV's first animated series seems even older in some ways, surprisingly contemporary in others and still gets callbacks in today's popular culture.

While the US State Department recommends people “reconsider” travel to Mexico because of the coronavirus, and #nonessential travel across land borders is still restricted, discounted flights have been tempting Americans throughout the pandemic.
But do Mexicans want Americans to visit during the pandemic?

Stay frosty and keep your guards up!
There will be no short-cuts and we will have to live in limbo until a reliable vaccine is available! No if's or but's......
So wear your facemask when in proximity of others
Practice physical distancing when outside of your "bubble"
Wash and sanitize your hands most thoroughly!

Mexico has 5,752 new known coronavirus cases and 485 additional deaths, bringing the nation’s total to 408,449 cases and 45,361 fatalities, the health ministry reported on Wednesday.
Mexico has the fourth highest death tally worldwide.
The true number for both figures given above is almost certainly significantly higher due to the low level of testing.
Mexico’s testing rate ranks among the lowest in Latin America, with just 0.4 tests per 1,000 people
