I'm not sure how good the healthcare system is in mexico, but it's not nearly as good as China's, and I'm not sure how much access the average hooker or waiter in Zona Norte has to medical care.

But on the flip side you need to factor in the effect of the people who seek no treatment to try to hide from the authorities or for some other reason.

The health care system is awful. The hospitals don't even have hot water.

A cruise ship went from likely a single patient zero onboard to 705 victims of the virus. WITH an attempt at quarantining the passengers from each other.

It's soo crowded. Both the streets and the clubs. Last night two different women, while they insisted on condoms, shoved their tongues in my mouth. And of course outside no one was wearing masks, the street women are reaching out and touching passerbys, the outdoor taco stands without proper hygiene.

Probably going to happen in 1-2 months. I think it will be too dangerous to visit in a couple weeks. Might already be too late.

The theory is that like the flu, the Corona Virus is adversely affect by warm weather and in two months everyone in Tijuana is more worried about sunburn than the flu.

Habeed,

Exactly what I have been worried about.

With illegal Chinese / Central American / African immigrants sneaking through Mexico's ports, heading to Tijuana with their 1,000-peso bribes, it's impossible to keep CoronaVirus out of Mexico. Once in Mexico the virus is very hard to contain with the lack of facilities, systems and means.

The risks of infection may already be here. Amorous guys may want to make a few quick runs before Mexico announces outbreaks and Trump closes the border. If you are caught in Mexico, try to survive and have good times with your sweethearts.

Yes, GE will allow you to use SENTRI lanes.

When I returned without a passport they looked mine up in 5 minutes, I was in a back room, but I think I was in the back room so the people in line wouldn't have to look at me and my bleeding head.

If you have a photocopy of your passport, that can save you from waiting for hours. Once I forgot my passport, but I had a backup photo copy in my car, so the border agent was able to view the copy and run the passport and I could pass back without waiting or secondary into the USA. Good idea to have multiple copies so if you forget your passport, they can check you on the computer.

If you don't have your passport or passport card, they can send you to secondary screening while they check you out. That can take hours if they want to be dickish about it. If you are late for your plane, it could be a disaster.

I have heard while they can't refuse you entrance when you go back through US customs, you would go to secondary and need to wait in line to prove your who you say you are. I can't speak from experience but have heard it's a bit of a hassle.

Going into Mexico I would say 1/3rd of the time I just walk right in, they don't ask for my ID card and I am a totally white gringo.

They were busy when I went through into Mexico the last time and they were letting every other person thru with out checking ID, just a way to manage the short line going into Tijuana on a Saturday afternoon when it was getting a little bit busier.

Goyo.

Would crossing the boarder (walking) be an issue? I do not have my passport with me. Only my state ID. Any thoughts? Thanks guys and I look forward to hearing soon. So I can start planning my night.

Comming back USA has to let you return no matter what the reason is you don't have a passport. If you look mexican you could walk through any borde into mexico, but you'd have to walk with confidence like you do that walk 5 days a week. Not be looking around reading signs

Thanks. I might give it a try! But, I can't miss my flight tomorrow! Ha.
