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.

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.
