Mexico is probably more afraid of infections coming from the US....

But this is an important next step regarding the border.

I believe we will be seeing this along state lines soon too.

I hope your friend makes it back safely. How ironic - if you asked me months ago where would I rather get sick in a pandemic: Mexico or the US. Before I would have said hands down USA....now I am not so sure....

get ahead of this thing because it will spread eventually.

Argentina has 128 cases and three deaths so far yet they ordered a full lockdown. THAT is how you get ahead of the game.
