Ferret Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Good idea since I haven't had a haircut in six weeks either. I have serious F#$k hair. Just trying to put a tiny bit of humour into this situation. My tongue is firmly planted in my cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Well, I never did get an answer to that question on the hijab. Thank you Spencer. I'm going out tomorrow as planned... and I will have your cell number on speed dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floradude Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I have been staying in my house now for 3 weeks going out for only what I consider essential things. I wear a mask and observe all the protocols. Tomorrow I am going out and pay my electric bill. I live along and I consider electricity an essential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I just drove to the Oxxo with my mask on and disinfecting wipes. Paid my Telmex and my Telcel, bought onions, avocados, 2 giant loaves of whole wheat bimbo bread, 2 jars of peanut butter, 4 boxes of milk and corn flakes. I am now stuffing my face with Sabritas and onion dip because it's the first treat I've had in four weeks. Carry on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdlngton Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 2 hours ago, Intercasa said: Please read the following which clarifies terms and also the limits on what the government can do to enforce, while legally it may be difficult for the authorities to act, you would not want to place your fellow man at risk nor fight with the police who could jail or fine you first causing you grief and money only to be later exonerated. So the stay at home order for 60+ is encouraged but not absolute. Most of us are smart enough to do essential tasks (while wearing a face mask, of course) and then go home. As far as the gatherings if no more than 50, I don't even know that many people and isn't Chapala's regulation no more than 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the municipio of Chapala's rule no more than 10? I believe that would overrule the state's 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I reading this correctly. Something sounds very wrong here. Sure when I go out, I wear surgical gloves and a medical face mask. And I leave my home as little as possible. Any comments would be greatly appreciated I have been told by a friend of a friend that if you are jailed and over 60, you will be fed. No age discrimination at the local "cárcel"...... So take your chances breaking the law and getting away with it, or let the government feed you. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedros Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I went from Jocotepec to San Antonio this morning and back. One road check going east. I'm over 60 and was waved through. I went to 5 different places in San Antonio-no problem. I was wearing a mask and gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EldonNova Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 I am sure that those of us over 60 and live alone will not be put in jail or fined, if they are stopped by the authorities when going out for essentials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercasa Posted April 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Im translating the broadcast message (municipal government) and there is a provision for walking dogs, says wear a mask when walking your dog so that implies that walking dogs is allowed.

Jim Bowie Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Unless AMLO declares Martial Law, no state governor can suspend any civil rights of anyone. They can, however, demand that you wear a mask, and can limit crowds, enforce social distancing, similar orders. Pretty much the same NOB, except each governor can declare Martial Law, IF, that is included in the Constitution of that State. If not, they cannot do it. Only then can they restrict personal freedoms. The President(NOB) can also do this, but his ability to enforce in all states would be unmanageable. Easier to enforce in a community or maybe one state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friends of friends and their cousins twice removed are absolutely the most accurate source of information.
