For Rvers And Ex-Pats Who Are In Mexico Now Or Are Coming Soon

Please post your comments.

1)  What provisions have you made in case you become infected with Covid while in Mexico?

2)  Should the vaccine become available while you are in Mexico, how will you obtain it?

I ask these questions because the cost of COVID care in a private Mexican hospital is between 980,000 and 1,350,000 pesos (49,000 and 65,000 USD).  ´

The IMSS universal care may take you but will charge you similar rates as a private hospital.  The death rate for intubated patients in IMSS is 78% and in a private Mexican hospital is 17%.

Should you want to return to the U.S. or Canada while infected will they allow you to travel via land or air?  I really don't think so.  Medivac maybe?

The Mexican border is officially closed until December 21, 2020, although the Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard has also stated they will not close it to tourism.  A pretty stupid statement.  

Be safe out there, wear your mask.  Dr, Fauci says restaurants are your worst enemy.  You can't eat with a mask on, everyone is talking, laughing, coughing and spitting food particles all around.  Not a good thing.

  1. Have Medipac insurance that covers Covid. Wearing a mask to grocery shop, not eating out and socializing limitedly with only with a chosen few. Same as at home only we are able to walk, enjoy the deserted beach and enjoy the sunshine.

    1. Haven't got the internet yet as all but one office is open. It means hours standing in line. Our friend Rafael is getting his daughter to help us. Fingers crossed.
