Good luck to you nob. Isolation is not impossible here, you are stoking fears. I'd rather be here than up north.

Somewhere over the rainbow... there's a land that I heard of... once in a lullaby !

I suggest you go and visit a few restaurant kitchens and that should take care of your widely optimistic ideas of how safe the kitchens are....

Actually Kam and Kyle, I checked out a few OTHER LOCAL VENDERS first because i wanted to stay from groups of people and I didn’t find any. You probably know that produce is perishably and sometimes sellers have better quality than others. I was simply letting people know that Superlake, a locally owned store that has employed many local people for years, had some nice produce.

The topic was a listing of restaurants that deliver. Yet, some go off topic to advance their own views on everything. Take your ADHD meds and chill out.

The owner of Superlake is a local, born, raised, and lived his whole life just a few blocks from the store.

I prefer the decision be made by the medical and scientific community.

We are the ones just talking. I know what the rules are if you're Catholic. You missed my tongue in cheek response. I have neither perogies nor bacon in my house. But, hey, I can dream can't I?

if isolation is possible in Paris, it is possible in Ajijic.. Everyone is under the same virus and no matter what we will survive and some of us will die wether you are in the States, Mexico or anywhere else. France has a great reputation for their healthcare and they are doing triage in big cities are they are running out of beds and respirators so good luck to everyone anywhere in the world. Ajijic is not a bad place to be if you want to isolate yourself, at least we have a nice climate.

Thank you for the information. It is thoughtful of you to share helpful information with people.

So now we've turned an upbeat item about fresh cauliflower into another damning and judgmental waste of screen space.

Gee BMH- you live here, eat here and indicate that the kitchens are not safe? WOW your comment is priceless!

It wouldn’t be if people not doing it only endangered themselves and would not be endangering other people. Then no one would give a shit what you do.

I get it and am staying in for five days, I really don't like the idea of not leaving the house for 5 days nor not having the cleaning lady here, but, life goes on and I want to be part of that for a few to many more years.

Where are you posting from, again? 😉 Chill OUT, Chill-in!

Excellent video, Alpha. Astoundingly, there are a frightening number of people who still don't get it.

You can pass the virus to others without showing any symptoms yourself. It has a 14 day incubation period. People with self-absorbed and ill-informed attitudes like yours are going to cause more people to get sick and/or die.

Thank you. There are enough self-centered people living in this community that it blows my mind. We prepaid our workers for 5-Weeks "sick leave" and sent $1150 worth of fresh produce and meats, plus plenty of non-perishables to them, so they don't have to get on a rolling Petri dish to come serve us or feed their family. Yet many I know are still having their maids in at great risk to EVERYONE!. Wake up people! Watch the story of the first months in Wuhan and the havoc this wreaked on the lives of the citizens. We are a very vulnerable population with a seriously inadequate health system. It will take one inconsiderate person to strike a match to the tinder pile.

I'm not saying quarantining is a bad idea, but, Why FIVE days? Why THESE five days? And what happens on the 6th day....voila, we're all safe???

That includes delivery people. We should be as concerned for the well being of others as we are for ourselves. NOTHING is more important at this time as EVERYONE staying home. What's so difficult to understand about the absolute urgency of this?

In reality, the vast majority of the population WHERE WE ARE LIVING earns and spends in pesos. It does not matter one bit how much a Big Mac costs in ANOTHER COUNTRY. I think and spend in pesos — you know, the currency of the country in which I live. You may have plenty of DOLLARS to throw around and good for you. But you are not the majority here and contrary to what some foreigners think this is not a Disneyland created and run for your entertainment.

Actually I can post and link anything I find informative or of interest on this thread whether you approve or not. Stop telling people what to post and only post what you find acceptable. You are only one person out of dozens.

Look on the bright side, Mississippi finally elected a governor who can read.

A friend mentioned that a Facebook page has been set up to list restaurants that are delivering in the Lakeside area. If the link doesn't work, look up deliverylakeside on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/deliverylakeside/ Sometimes there needs to be a balance between sensible caution and paranoia IMHO.

Sending you LOTS of positive travel energy and I hope they'll let you cross and continue you to your home in Canada. Thanks for keeping us posted! Cyber hugs, Val

@ 8:50 March 22 I called the Nogales US border service and they said no problems for US and Canadian residents to cross

We have to stay home not only 5 days

I thought I would post that because there is a lot of misinformation right now all over the internet.

I AM THE PERSON who posted this. YES I read AND AM ABIDING BY the 5 day quarantine! I asked the question because I don't understand phone delivery apps (NO, NOW is not the time to get a tech person!) I just wanted to know if anyone does food delivery. Delivery can be done safely. LISTEN TO CNN's DR. GUPTA, who DOES order food in! It can be done by leaving the payment & tip outside the door. When the food arrives, wait till the delivery person leaves, take the main packing bag off and leave it in outside garbage. Bring containers in, wipe with Clorox wipes (doing all this with gloves) THEN put the food inside your own dishes. I BELIEVE this quarantine will continue! I want to prepare. Those couples with big cars who bought out the stores to fill their giant freezers don't understand a car-less person alone in tiny Ajijic living with a small freezer. Oh, and for the comments on NYC- I lived there 13 years with kind ingenious people, and they (and Dr. Gupta) said, food delivery can be done safely and enjoyed. It COULD help save many local restaurants as well. Thank you RIlady!

Made with alcohol, the NHS, Public Health England and other health organisations worldwide have assured people that anti bacterial hand sanitisers with 60% alcohol content and above are effective against viruses, such as the new coronavirus, but emphasise soap and water is the best option.

I don't understand what people are talking about "staying home for a few days" ???? We need to stay home ongoingly, until all cases have been identified and contained. And that's not going to happen in a few days, folks. Don't go out, except for walks and excursions where you aren't in close contact with others, unless necessary, and then take precautions. Best if people band together and only one person goes out shopping for a few friends. Take turns. Then only one person has to take all the cleaning measures necessary when they get home. The thing about self-isolating for 5-7 days was regarding being possibly or knowingly exposed and not going out at all until there's been time to see if you develop symptoms, so you can get medical help if necessary. By the way, regarding bleach to disinfect surfaces- don't overdo the bleach- more isn't better. 4teaspoons to a liter of water. The water content is necessary to make the bleach effective.

If it wasn't dangerous, I'd kiss that judge. Thank goodness. Obrador has been absurd and totally irresponsible in his reactions to this.

Two people in Nigeria just dies from taking chloroquine in the belief that it would protect them from COVID19 and more people in other places are being hospitalized for the same thing. You'd have to be mentally deficient to self-medicate on the basis of what the POTUS says, wich right away was proven as false. It has not been approved by the FDA.

I really really hope that when you find you don't need it for the coronavirus, you will give it to someone who has rheumatoid or spondyloarthritis who requires plaquenil (hydroxycloroquine) to live comfortably and hasn't been able to buy it recently.

Thanks ComputerGuy for the cost analysis. I have ate at restaurants which did not have a price on the menu but not since I retired. Cost and quality of meal is important to us and we are not going to go to a restaurant with high prices when there there are plenty of good restaurants Lakeside which charge reasonable prices. We usually eat out twice a day so price can become very important. I have found high prices don't always mean the best meals. In fact some of the highest prices I have paid here were for mediocre meals.

If you have the virus and are asymptomatic, you're spreading it everywhere you go. It can live on some surfaces for three days. Peachy keen that you're not sick but someone else many not be so lucky.

Adelita’s has their own delivery people..

We always order by phone as we did last night and it was here in less than 30 minutes and we like their regular crust although it is a little thicker than we used to get at our fave place in Edmonton where they tossed the dough in the air. Yup, run by Italians that is.

I think there's an echo in here.

Why don’t you ask your neighbors.....

Where did you find the metric for expensive or cheap or decent? I did google “metric for food prices in Ajijic” didn’t find anything... Perhaps it would be better to say that “YOU THINK” it is expensive... for some people is not about the price, is about the experience... so, don’t look for restaurants cause you will always be disappointed when “YOU THINK” is expensive or it is our of “YOUR BUDGET”, just find the restaurants that have the prices you like and talk good things about those instead of complaining about the ones you can’t afford or the ones that have the prices that you don’t want to pay... Wouldn’t you be happier if you did that? 😄

Probably the regulator is shot.

Yeah, cats are taking this all in stride. Be more cat.

I heard a Rainbird last Saturday night in Riberas. I guess it headed to Ajijic looking for more action.

Why don't the stores limit the amount of things you can buy? They do it when there's a sale.
