This is exactly what I was referring to in the other post. Mixed messages between three North American countries related to land travel. As I stated, we have the T-MEC agreement but it doesn't seem ...

Unfortunately, most of this didn't turn out well because of those thinking only about the economy and their political status. In turn, they pressured state and local governments to modify rules. In the U.S. and Mexico, states have the right to make their own decisions and in both cases, it was more about money.
In northern Mexico where people are known for their hard-working ethics and business, yes there were closings but people found ways to make it work. They didn't stand around waiting for government handouts and stimuli. In fact, our dictator refused to help businesses saying "it's what the neoliberals deserve". Another little known fact and one the great dictator loves to tout is that Mexicans in the U.S. sent home 42 billion dollars last year. If I were president, I would be ashamed to admit that he can't provide jobs for his own people.
I don't believe we know any exact numbers yet, but because of all the precautions (and lack thereof out of greed) how many lives were spared from severe effects, long-term chronic ailments, or worse, death?
It took quite a while, but after 440,000 deaths, Mexicans have come to take this seriously and the precautions have become part of daily life. Nothing lost in that.
Because Mexico rvers stick mostly to rural and beach areas, do not speak the language and are not tuned into local and national news and events, they have not seen the complete picture. New home and office construction are at a peak providing jobs for many sectors not to mention the booming real estate market.
