Nuevo Laredo

For sharing the latest news from your lenses. A couple of weeks ago I went to the omex bus station in San Antonio and they said that 2 buses were still circulating from here to Monterrey and back. I am not sure what it's like now. The USA has it worse than any other country right now and the curve has not flattened enough. Not only did I enjoy going to Monterrey but being able to buy medicine right across the border helps allot of Americans who don't have health insurance. Can Americans still go to Nuevo Laredo to buy medicine and cross the bridge right back to the USA? I know it's not even possible to travel in car from San Antonio to Laredo right now unless it's for essential purposes.

Turimex is totally closed down. Omex has 5 buses a day to Monterrey. You can get their schedules off the internet, you don't have to go to the station:

I usually go on Greyhound, use the others for backups, but just remember that their station in Monterrey is in the northern part of town, and you have to take the Metro to get downtown.

I was in NL Mar 28-29, no problems crossing either way, brought back 4 boxes of amoxicilina, declared them, no problems there either.

I wonder if any of those flea bags in downtown NL are still open. The last one I stayed at a couple of weeks ago, "El Cheapo", was crawling with bed bugs. Hadn't been there in years, never going back again. I did, however, manage to swipe a roll of toilet paper when I left--worth its weight in gold up here in SA: bunch of pussies scared of their own shadows, obsessed with the latest designer virus from China, aka the "Shanghai Shivers"(thank you James Woods).

As for airbnb and its cousins, lyft and uber, stick a fork in them, they're done. People took out huge mortgages and loans to buy houses and cars to turn them into airbnbs and ubers, and now guess what: no customers. The airlines might get bailed out, but not these guys. $1200 in Trump Bux is not going to get them very far, and BTW have you gotten your bux yet, I haven't, and don't know anybody that has.

And as for the Coronavirus task force, what a joke. Fauci and Birx are relying on terrible models. They want to keep us on lockdown forever. Find a vaccine? Yeah, sure, Bill Gates has never been able to keep viruses out of Windows. Now he's going to find a vaccine for Covid-19? What a laugh. Should have gotten the BCG vaccination years ago like me. Gives you immunity to almost everything, not just TB. Don't believe me, just google it.

Well, at least here in Texas Gov Abbott wants to open things up as soon as possible. Go for it, Greg. I need to get me a damn haircut!

Nuevo Leon could be next:

Good to see you too Slick Willie, Drama Free, Bbond and the gang.

I saw this fresh VICE report with Edward Snowden.

So it talks about how the USA may follow in the same footsteps as other countries like South Korea where the USA will start doing mass surveillance on its residents by means of your smart phone. So it may be time to start thinking about shutting off your smart phone when you leave your house.

My job requires me to travel all over southern Texas, I have had no issues, or even been questioned, as to where I am going or why.

So far, this year, there have been 85 deaths in Nuevo Laredo due to Tuberculosis. Same period last yead saw 57 dead. Yet no outcries, no shutting things down, no sanitizing anything. Let 20 people come down with the new virus and everyone goes beserk, I don't know the death toll from it, but it is nowhere near the 85 that tuberculosis has killed.

We can continue the social distancing, and start with some going back to work. The longer the shut down continues, the worse it will get. We are lucky we are in the south, our economies will rebound quickly. California, Mexico and other parts of the word the flu / shutdown will be devastating. It may take years to recover, many more will die from the financial crisis then from the flu.

Tuberculosis. 85.

[QUOTE=Bbond;2442822]The score today. COVID 2. Tuberculosis. 85.[/QUOTE]Can you give me an update on the border? Thank you.

All this talk about companies requiring employees to take covid tests before they can go back to work makes me wonder if border patrol will be doing something similar in order to open up the border to tourism again. Just a thought that has been on my mind for a while now. It's good to hear that as of now, they are not asking questions.

[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2443249]Can you give me an update on the border? Thank you.[/QUOTE]No changes lately, so far all closing rumors were all just rumors.

Aging pensioners who don't work, and are terrified of their vulnerability to the virus, unemployed young people who would be at home playing video games anyway, and people who had shitty jobs and will likely make more from the very generous unemployment package in the stimulus bill then they did washing dishes at applebees.
