As you know, we live in a very small town with a population of 8500 inhabitants. I showed you the road where I exercise and do my 10km brisk walk/run. It's 35 meters or 115 wide and at any given time there are 30 people on bikes or foot on the road that measures 10 km in length and there is no one living there as of yet. They are planning new neighborhoods but construction is barely starting.
As the picture shows, that's pretty much how it works. This morning, after the rain had stopped, I went out. As I turned on to this road, a patrol car pulled up and a policeman with a mask advised me that from now on the road would be closed to exercise. So that's that. I will do 18 laps on our road which measures 650 meters one way.
I turned around and headed back home but took a longer route. I passed a total of eight people walking either to the store or exercising. We are all aware of the issues and crossed the street when someone came in the opposite direction. I know that outdoor rules apply because there are people without common sense.
In Mexico, the problem now is accurate reporting. Today our illustrious Messiah quoted the Pope and used Jesus as his salvation from the virus and his conviction to the poor. He consistently quotes his favorite history lesson, the Mexican Revolution, which by the way has a specific article that prohibits religion and politics in the same sentence. Well, he's a politician. As of last Friday, he seized the 32 states' pension trust funds that protect government employee pensions. I'm sure he will destroy that soon like everything else he has touched. Venezuela here we come! Numbers for the virus are low as they are counting many as Atipic Pneumonia.
However, as you can see in the video below, some states are taking the virus into their own hands. These tunnels in the Monterrey Metro area are mandatory if you want to use the subway or transfer from buses to the subway and major bus line transfers.
As an interesting side note and also newsworthy, the ultra-rich that are the families, friends, and relatives of the Venezuelan socialist revolution (Maduro's and Chavez' children along with those of other socialist cabinet members, have the penchant to spend time on islands off the coast of the country. Well, the millennials headed to the islands with their papis money, flew in prostitutes from Europe, and partied for days along with drugs and alcohol. They have now contracted the virus and have pissed off the followers of the socialist revolution who were not familiar with their leaders' proclivities . Oh, those Latin American socialists.
Stay safe.
I love hearing your perspective.
