Our four factories down there have all been shut down by government mandate for a month now to reopen next week. It's been crippling.

1. I doubt they’re conducting as many tests as the US so numbers probably aren’t as accurate.

2. Not as much international travel between Europe and East Asia

3. They do have about 25,000 cases, 2,300 dead, so not totally immune.

The virus has been sneaking across the border as much as possible.

Maybe it’s because Mexico Hospitals aren’t being paid $13,000 for every patient classified as having CV and $39,000 for every patient out on a ventilator.

Take that money away & CV patients and deaths go way, way down in the USA.

I have a friend that lives in Playa (he is American born) and he said everything is shut down. You can only walk to the store by yourself. No walking in groups. He took his dog out for a walk and had a gun pointed at him. When you think about that versus New Orleans people having a second line it’s easy to see why their numbers are low compared to ours.

Mexicans and Russians are the toughest people on the planet.

Because they don’t count El Chapo murders as Covid deaths..

They aren’t a bunch of hysterical Karen’s? If we didn’t know this was COVID-19, we probably would think it’s a bad year for the flu.
