Out1 Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Stay away if you think everyone should be wearing a mask. Just walked the dog and saw more people than I have seen on the malecon since March; at least 25 people (more than 50%) without masks.

Mainecoons Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Now the Taptios are back it would probably be a good idea to stay at home from mid day Friday through Monday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adolphsj Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Walked the dog on malecon 8:30 am. Saw about 25 gringos and a out 40 Mexicans. None in groups more than 3, all walking. 90% gringos wore masks and correctly, about 35% of Mexicans had masks on in any manner. Probably not significant in a statistics class, but subjectively very notable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisbee Gal Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 It varies day to day, hour to hour. I walk a few miles a day in Ajijic. Some days mask usage is pretty good; other days, abysmal. Sometimes it's great on the malecon, but awful in town; the next day it could be the exact opposite. I stay off the malecon on weekend afternoons and have for years, it's always been too crowded for me. Weekend mornings are pretty good, before 9. I live near some Tapatio homes; they are here full-force for the summer, not just weekends. And homes that typically hosted family groups of 4 to 6, have expanded to larger groups this summer. There are also a lot of day-trippers on weekends; they come out for a walk along the lake and a meal now that the eateries are open for seating. What I hear from people who have been to Guadalajara recently is that the level of mask wearing there is quite high. But the Tapatios I see here in Ajijic have a worse mask-wearing % than the locals, both gringo and Mexican. Evidently the Tapatios view Lakeside as "safe" (our numbers are quite low compared to Guad) so they don't feel a need for masks. Or, perhaps like many people who are on vacation, they just don't act the same as they would on their home turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyinmexico Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Ditto to the statistics. I work out there and there are Gringos as well who do not wear masks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 My wife saw two gringo women enter oxxo without a mask and the staff would not serve them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
