some areas are classifying all deaths as virus related even though the persons would not have survived other wise..... makes the virus deaths look worse than actual

I'd be interested to know where you heard this rumor. All politicians around the world have a vested political interest in keeping the official numbers as low as possible. It's a near certainty that the number of cases and the number of deaths are drastically undercounted, not overcounted.

I fundamentally disagree with your premise. Mexico's president has no interest in being misinformed or of misinforming. He can stretch truth and he does, but you cannot hide Covid-19 deaths because if you did funerarias would quickly become a source of infections, a hot zone, and the bodies would start backing up as they became unable to do business. It is in NO ONE'S interests except dictators and The Chump's to lie about the numbers of infected and deaths.

This is not U.S. bashing, it is the TRUTH.

We've all been expecting things to get worse in Mexico. Perhaps because enough of the right measures were taken ahead of time Mexico has slowed the advance, but THIS is when it was predicted that the numbers would start doubling more rapidly. Dr. Hugo López-Gatell and his team at the SSA have done a very good if not exemplary job so far getting Mexico ready for what must come. At no time has he been hindered by politicians seeking to deceive the public, and the politicians would possibly literally be committing suicide if they got caught lying to the public now.

You have to understand that Yucatán is heavily PANista and very anti-PRD, anti-Morena, anti-AMLO. Thus their tendency to print stories critical of AMLO such as the one Ironwood referred to even if they have to stretch the truth themselves.

The mask just have the elastic straps- they do not seal good above the nose. Hate to say it, when no one is around I drop it below my nose and take my glasses off when around people. Is ok if you wear contacts. Oh well that's life- just grin and bear it. Everyone stay safe- we are on our 4th victim, at least no one has passed in our little town. Just read a interesting rumor- some areas are classifying all deaths as virus related even though the persons would not have survived other wise. If this is correct, makes the virus deaths look worse than actual.

On the other hand, some media (Yucatan Times?) have reported on one (or more?) hospitals in Mexico recording a number of deaths as "atypical pneumonia", when there are suspicions that these are COVID19 - related deaths.
As they say:
"There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.”

Once they were over it, we'd really gross them out by one of us turning to the other and saying, "My mouth is dry, spit in my mask for me?"

It also works well in our swim goggles.

I think a mild soap solution works too, but look it up. Spit is way more fun!

Kathie and her Church Lady Friends got instruction off the internet. I don't know how many they made. My problem, the one she gave me fogs up my glasses- in stays in the truck for when I go to Kroger for groceries and Lowes for yard supplies(both have 1 per family and limit how many customers in store. Kroger has Senior shopping from 7 to 9. When I got there about 10 till 7 there were around 15 people waiting with spacing and had only door to go in with and a monitor was at the entrance door.

Snorkelers spit in their facemasks and swish it around a little in the saltwater before donning them to prevent them from fogging up underwater. Don’t know if this’ll help with your glasses.

if you can find any here. Suggestions/factual?

Mercado Libre - I received some on Friday. 120 Pesos each, arrived in 3 days.

I asked him if it is permissible to go out to buy food, in light of the Quédate en Casa program.

The person who answered the phone at the Centro de Salud said that one can go out and buy food.

I didn't ask him about using a mask.
Though that seems like a prudent thing to do, along with maintaining
