Day 10 / Americans rushing to the border / A very warm 93 degree day - UPDATE

I outsmarted Paquito this morning and turned the TV on so I would not hear him whining by my window. It worked because I never heard him if in fact, he did.

Today is Day 10 of my self-isolation. This virus is getting closer...Eagle Pass, Texas a border town 60 miles south of us has its first confirmed case.

Even though the border with Mexico is closed to non-essential travel you can still cross to seek medical attention.  Read that people have been crossing in large numbers in this case in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua border with El Paso, Texas and buying out Hydroxychloroquine, the anti-malaria medication known as Plaquenil the medication this administration described on its Daily Coronavirus Briefing as a "game-changer" though there is no evidence to support that...https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/03/24/border-towns-see-run-on-drug-touted-by-trump-but-unproven-as-coronavirus-cure/

Gutierrez a grocery store I frequent in Ciudad Acuña is also limiting entrance into their stores to only one or two members of the same family, no children under 12 years of age and in order to protect the senior population they are only allowed to shop from 8:00 a.m. to noon. They mention that most shelves are bare of essential items like toilet paper, antibacterial gel, most cleaning or disinfecting supplies and eggs. When available they are placing a limit of 3 items per family.

Today we had a low of 59 and a high of 93 degrees. Most of Texas reported higher than normal temperatures.

Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


UPDATE

When NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard asked the woman what she wanted others to know, she said, “Oh my God. Don't take anything. Don’t believe anything. Don’t believe anything that the President says and his people because they don’t know what they’re talking about. And don't take anything—be so careful and call your doctor. This is a heartache I'll never get over.”
It’s true that clinical trials have begun for using chloroquine, one of the world’s oldest anti-malaria drugs, and hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic derivative of chloroquine that treats lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, to treat the disease caused by the coronavirus. But the FDA can’t approve a drug, much less fast-track it, without solid evidence of safety and effectiveness, and it hasn’t approved either of these drugs for COVID-19 treatment.  


Aunty Acid Saying of the Day

  1. Here is food for thought: Why is the official Presidential Seal now missing from the podium that tRump uses to vomit his lies? Also, why is the official President's Flag no longer displayed behind him when he is giving these "press conferences"?
    I came across this juicy tidbit tonight and started looking into it and sure enough, this has been since March 13, 2020. Also, the podium no longer says Washington, DC. Just Washington. I remember noticing the odd yellow tie...turns out this means Quarantine. Google "presidential seal and flag missing" and listen to what this person noticed. I am wondering who TF is in charge??

    1. I must say that I had not noticed that. At the first lie...I get up and start doing something else...I do not turn it off unless he goes off the rails. I go back to watch it when Dr. Anthony Fauci one of the few reputable persons I trust and admire comes to the podium.

      I went to watch the YouTube video and FringeFiles gives one food for thought but I think the media would have mentioned it by now if there was something to it.

      That power-hungry monger would never allow someone else to be in charge.

  2. People may be able to get Hydroxychloroquine in the Mexico but they can Overdose on it. Two have died in the US from doing just that. It needs to be administered by Doctors not someone who think they know what they are doing.
    Be Safe and Enjoy the warmer temperatures.

    It's about time.

    1. I just do not get WHY he mentions the name of the medications when he knows there are many stupid people out there that will surely believe him. Just like that couple that took it on their own without an idea of what the dosage should be and then died though I think the wife went into a comma.

  4. We had a high today of 83 not happy, but it will drop down to the high 60's tomorrow. I did read of the person over medicating on hydroxychloroquine. I just don't understand.

    1. I wish we had your temperatures. I have no idea why people would do that they were two healthy adults that didn't even have CoronaVirus symptoms.
