Vaccination and covid measures

Ok I live in lake chapala area.... locals are done with masks..... the baby boomers refuse to chill out.   

A ton of shops I frequent regularly know me and my wife a d when we enter they don't mask up and they don't care if we do.  But if a  boomer sees you with your nose out of a mask they will freak out and I mean like a nuke is landing on our heads.

So where I live locals are done with it, but boomer xpats are still in Full covid freak out.

@brumyk2021 , 

Mexico does not force shots you don't want. They do want you to wash your hands with the ever-popular chemical sprays but that is quickly washed off with soap and water. The mask issue is fading except for going to restaurants and markets. I hear that masking may stop next month.

We live in CDMX where everyone, of all ages, wears a mask. Businesses continue to provide distanced and reduced seating, temperature checks and hand sanitizer. We’re pleased and grateful, and plan to receive our fourth shots here.

It varies by region and whether the setting is urban or more village and rural. Over the past year and a half I have spent time in about half a dozen cities, towns and villages in Central and Southern Mexico including Guanajuato City, San Miguel de Allende, San Cristobal de Las Casas, Oaxaca as well as visited some more remote mountain villages as well as the Oaxacan coast. A general rule is the more urban places are still quite Covid sensitive. Though, as others have mentioned, unless you are applying for public health care here (according to one source), there are no vaccine mandates. Mask-wearing in places like San Cristobal de las Casas is about 50/50 on the street. More liike 70/30 in favor of masks in Oaxaca City.

My favorite experience was on the Oaxacan coast, especially Zipolite. I saw maybe 1 out of 100 people (in or out of restaurants or shops) wearing masks... consistent with the fact that it is Mexico's (I think) only nudist beach. Actually, I did see one couple strolling the beach wearing masks. But nothing else...

Looking for frank info on whats currently happening covid-wise in Mexico. We are Cdn retirees whofarm organically and do not want these gene therapy shots.

You understand a vaccine offers protection from getting something.  That is science so calling what they are putting out as vaccines they are not being scientific at all.

Please don't attempt to offer your opinion on" the science" the forum does not offer medical advice or your opinion based on what you think science says. The question was about what are the rules in Mexico.

@alleycat1 

that is your opinion and didn't answer the question. also don't tell people what to do. The forum does not order people to do things or offer opinions on treatments or science.

@brumyk2021  they don't enforce very much here. If a store or restaurant starts getting anal then I go somewhere else and make sure they know I'll never come back. Lol

@rochbrisson5 

So you are handling your issue your way. The stores are just trying to stay in business. Inspectors are hired by the state and if the state rules are not followed the store can get closed for a few days.  It is that simple

@travellight  most people are done with the bull.

@travellight  agree

@travellight 

There is only 1 group I see who are still pushing covid.... liberal baby boomers. It's like Crack to them they just can't give it up no matter how the locals want too.

The problems will not be solved with finger-pointing. It tends to divide not bring people together. The fear-driven propaganda uses it as fuel for their agenda. Fear is a toxic motivator and some of those baby boomers are likely on the same ... - @travellight

Masks have been medically proven to be next to worthless unless it's a n95 worn properly which requires training. 

And baby boomers are the only people who act hateful ... - @MexicoAfterlife

@alleycat1 

This was a response to behavior and how it works. Your response is about something else I'm not even going to respond, except to say your response was rude and uncalled for. What he was talking about ... - @travellight

@alleycat1 you need to do your research better not just accept what you are told
