SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — A group of doctors and other medical professionals will spend the next four weeks treating COVID-19 patients in Tijuana, Mexico.
One of the doctors is Jess Mandel, chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care at UC San Diego Health.
"We had sort of heard rumors for a while about challenges that were being faced by Tijuana. We felt these are our colleagues and we want to do everything we can to help them," Mandel said. "We've seen this with other infectious diseases, where we look at a bi-national effort across the border. We certainly see it with COVID-19, the more we cooperate together the better people are on both sides of the border. ".
Mandel and fellow UC San Diego Health Dr. Timothy Morris will spend mornings making rounds with their counterparts at Tijuana's Hospital General, treating and diagnosing patients.

Everyone is acting on a volunteer basis helping on their free time.
"Last thing we want to do is say, 'we know the problem, we're here to fix it,' that never works," Mandel said. "The goal is to combine our expertise, combine our perspective, learning is in both directions, we take back what we learn to San Diego and hopefully they learn from us. ".

Mandel said doctors in Tijuana told him hospitals are working at twice the capacity of their facilities.
"It is clear that like other places we've seen like New York, Spain. Like Italy, this is a system under stress, people are doing everything they can to help as many people as they can," he said.
Tijuana is one of the cities in Mexico's with the largest number of coronavirus cases. According to Baja California's Secretary of Health, Tijuana has 1,719 cases with 438 deaths.

Right next to Pedwest is a cheezie hostel that also has a private room. While it didn't get great reviews I thought it could be good to meet a hooker for a hour and then just head back across the border. Just do her doggy style to keep our distance.

Hey guys,
Last visit to Tijuana was before Covid. Who has been there in the past 2 weeks? Are the clubs still closed? Where would I find chicas? Think it safe yet to visit? Will appreciate any updates. Thanks!

Posts: 228Rosarito
I just spoke with my girlfriend who lives in Rosarito. She told me that as of yesterday, the entrances to Rosarito have been blocked off and they are only allowing people that live and work in the city to enter. She said this is due to the spike in Covid cases hitting Tijuana. She told me that the government was going to allow people in Rosarito to go back to work on June 1 but that this spike may put a damper on things. Poor girl has a job in Rosarito that she hasn't been able to work at for over 2 months. I am helping the poor girl out until she can get back to work.

Posts: 248Invest in Yourself
If anyone else has more free time during this virus crisis a great way to invest in yourself is to learn to speak Spanish. There are plenty of cheap and even free Spanish resources out there. I've been taking basic Spanish courses on DuoLingo which is free.
Since most of Latin America speaks Spanish it's a great resource even if you get tired of Tijuana and Mexico and want to explore other places. I think it will make trips more enjoyable and help with dealing with the Chicas a lot.
