How much do we import from Mexico? Cross border traffic both
human and products will impact both sides of the border, imo.

Doing nothing is probably just as effective as running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Of course the latter is good too, because at least you’re not making things worse.

The real question: are we prepared for an inevitable panicked rush from invaders at our southern border? Have the snowflake liberals realized how important it is for us to stop the invasion?

Isn’t Mexico “dangerously unprepared” for EVERYTHING?

Mexico may do better to just let the disease take its course. If Mexico were “prepared” with its own resources it would tie up and impoverish the country without appreciable lessening the incidence. In any event we should truly seal the border right now to prepare US for that That mean, really, armed drones and a military division at least on the border.

Mexico City
Reuters: “In a display of government/private cooperation, the President of Mexico announced that the cartels would in the Spirit of national co operation release 100k metric tons of cocaine and cannabis into the general population. While the public might get sick from the corona virus, they will feel no pain and will not care”

Mexico wants enhanced border security now to stop infections coming from the north.

It is not so much hot weather as sunshine, The sun is at a more effective angle in the southern latitudes and in the summer farther north. Hot weather is indirect. It causes people to dress in short sleeves and get sunshine on their skin. That is what kills the virus. Viruses thrive in 98.6 degree environments.

Mexico weather is lot hotter than Iran, just saying.
India has more people than (USA+Europe+Iran) combined and worse sanitary conditions, and only few dozen infected who are mostly are recent arrivals from abroad. Very hot weather is bad for the virus.

Italy is not going to tell us that. That occurred to me, too. It was reported that many of them went home for New Year’s and that was when WuHanFlu was just getting vigorous.

I hope so but it's spreading now in India, AFrica and south america. A week or two ago not much was going on there.

India is a Southern country. The sun is at a higher angle there. That is what makes the environment inhospitable to the Virus. People expose more skin to the rays of the sun. In more northerly climes people cover up and the sun is at a less effective angle until the summer. Think about it. The virus does quite well in a 98.6 degree environment.

If mexico panics, I doubt we will be able to stop millions coming across the border at once. “Camp of the Saints”, indeed.

In Việt Nam flu and colds are thought of as being "women's maladies." Men mostly don't suffer from them except for government men and office workers. Women get viruses all year round, The difference is that men do not cover up. They go about exposing their arms and faces to the sun.
Women have heard since they were infants that they must never let the sun touch their skin or they will turn black and never get a husband. They cover up totally when they go out. That is beginning to change for the younger generation because they are adopting Western attire, short skirts and sleeveless dresses. And they are getting husbands. 0lder generations are noticing. 10 years ago I talked the women I know into exposing at least their arms to the sun for an hour each day. They have not been sick since. I discussed it with the husbands of those already married and they all decided that their wives could turn black and it was okay if they stayed thus healthy. One, in particular, was always sick when I first met her. She has been virus free for the ten years and as an added benefit her manic depression dissipated but that's another subject.

Mexico is the only country I’ve visited that has warm ice.

inevitable rush across our Mexican border soon....

Leftists will say send them all to small towns and cities spread out all over America (as they already do in New England with MS-13 gang members and convicted felons who return after being deported.)
