Stick to the tourist spots and "main" areas and it is no different than anywhere else.
Get away from more of the bigger places in Mexico but avoid cartel places.
For example, León was beautiful and the women were gorgeous (I was shocked - really, there were beautiful people everywhere). That's where I bought one of my suits and it is the best looking suit I have. Would have cost 10-20 times more in the US.

On the radio they were talking about a "winter relapse".I also noticed some curious phrasing when talking about deaths, saying "X amount of people died with covid in their system". Okay, but that isn't the same as saying "they died cuz of covid".

How do you know where Cartels are?

Google it.

But, no, this:

The government gives travel information that's fairly up-to-date.

that's a map of cartel territory in the u.s.
I guess it'll come in handy if someone visits Texas. thanks?

Probably easy to find, just ask the local cops.
considering the number of cops in Mexico who are likely on their payroll, I wouldn't trust them.

It was supposed to be this link:
https://lmgtfy.com/?q=mexican+cartel+locations
Because it's not hard to google search Mexican cartel locations.

Exactly the point. They'd be nice enough to tell our gringo ass to not go here or there.

So yeah, if the WHO is correct about the 'around 4% or less are infected' as is being indicated with the antibody test, that throws the previous model some people had where the majority of people already had it and recovered without issue into the shitter and it's a whole new game we're in.
Not at all.
It means we are looking at infections that are 45-85 times more prevalent than originally suspected but also far less deadly and it puts it in the ballpark of seasonal flu. Which calls into question the measures we put into place.
This epidemiologist, responsible for the Santa Clara serological study (but many researchers were involved), breaks the entire situation down. He even gets asked the extremely tough question about why the WHO would grossly overestimate, knowingly, the mortality rate.
If anyone is genuinely interested in this topic, I recommend watching the 1 hour + interview. If you're interested in partisan talking points and politics but not actually interested in science, skip the video.

Oh, they would. Give them money. They will tell you where not to go, for sure. They have an interest to keep the money and tourists flowing through. They might even tell you where you can find some cartel blow.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that around 4%** isn't the majority of people. Not on this planet at least.
**this is going with the WHO's claim about the antibody test results being done now.

Depends on which model you're talking about which is why I said "not at all."
Also, if you take the time to watch the video, the serological tests only capture a subset of people that may have developed an immunity already for this coronavirus season.
It's never as simple as "just 4%" or "just 90%."
I know you want this to be partisan but any result in the whole digits area puts the entire lockdown strategy into question. It doesn't need to be partisan. It can just be about the science.
