Here in BC Canada the rate is rising fast so they have just enacted new rules. You can no longer socialize with anyone not in your household. Still I feel it is safer here than traveling. I usually RV in Mexico, and when I go on the facebook page for the town I stay in, I see tons of people flying in and using hotels. Most of them aging snowbirds in their 70's & 80's. 2 people I know there have already died of it and now my spanish teacher tells me both her parents have it. It is a beach town, and what happens in Mexico in beach towns is that tour buses arrive every weekend loaded with potential superspreaders from the large cities. Pools will be full of their kids who I doubt will have masks on. Christmas will be crazy. When I tell snowbirds they are taking a big risk, I get told to go back to my cave and that sort of thing. The fact is, it is getting out of hand again in Europe and in the US. While everyone was distracted by the election, the infection rate in the US went up by 25%. I do not know why these folks think Mexico will be exempt. If it gets really bad they will all be expecting the government to evacuate them. That may have been fine in March when people were blindsided, but I dont think anyone who goes on vacation during a pandemic can expect the taxpayer to bail them out. No, I hate winter, but I hate dying more.
