August 15, 2022 COVID Update:
We are now back to just under 500 new COVID cases in Yucatan State.
This likely means it’s safe to get back to ordinary life when out of doors, yet wearing masks when indoors with strangers.

Surviving Yucatan 
I am surprised that you seem to imply that the risk of being unmasked indoors depends on whether the others are “strangers.” More likely it depends on their vaccination status, which we may or may not know. Haven’t events like weddings and holiday celebrations been some of the biggest spreaders because we let down our guard with family and friends?
Vaccination status? LOL! A vaccine is supposed to prevent the spread of diseases, and prevent you from getting sick.
The “vaccine” they have been touting does neither, thus it is not a vaccine.Editors Note
Sadly, anti-vaxxers & other anti-science cranks keep popping up like weeds, promoting their lies.
Intelligent educated readers can note that both Pfizer & Moderna have new versions of their COVID vaccines designed specifically to stop the spread of Omicron COVID variants.

“Anti-vaccine?” LOL!!!!
even Dr. Robert Malone, one of the co-developers of the messengerRNA delivery technology, has also said there should be no rush to put those “vaccines,” and should be extensively studied.So, what “lies” are there?
Editors Note:
Readers should ignore the quacks & cranks … and instead choose to go with the best evidence from the New England Journal of Medicine, from Science Magazine and Nature Magazine, and The Lancet’s scientific reports for how effective vaccines have been for millions of patients, and get vaccinated.

Dr. Steven Fry has come through again.
What a fine article, describing our best options on how to stay healhy, and minimize our chances of getting COVID.
This is yet another good article, in a series of factual articles and scientific reports, stretching back to the first months of the pandemic in March 2020. Since those earliest days of the pandemic, Dr. Fry was the first to accurately describe how COVID is spread (by aerosols flipping off the vibrating vocal chords from people talking and singing), and one of the 3 US scientists advocating N95 masks (or better) and 8 feet of Social Distancing to reduce COVID transmission by invisible aerosols floating around infectiious inside closed rooms for over 4 hrs. after the sick person was vocalizing, talking or singing.
We much appreciate Dr. Fry’s consistent reporting of COVID facts, as refutations of the often wacky claims of the persistent Tin Foil Hat Brigade.
Thank you, Dr. Fry,
