Guess my “Back to Life/Back to Reality” party will have be postponed. El Universal is reporting that bars, dance halls and movie theaters will be closed indefinitely, until Mexico City reaches a sanitary-alert level of “yellow,” or medium-risk. We’re at orange, or elevated-risk, now.
Unfortunately none of the local newspapers have reported exactly what it’ll take to reach yellow. (Less deaths? An abundance of sanitary gel? The slow, mournful death of the cubrebocas?) The city did unveil this new Sanitary Alert System today, which could explain the lack of details. But someone, somewhere, could at least hook a girl up with an informational graphic. Oh well.
On the bright side, restaurants and cafeterias that serve alcoholic-free beverages can open again on Wednesday (I’m hitting El Caminero), and museums, libraries and religious centers can resume business on Thursday. Hopefully the Centro Budista is included in there, because I’ve been dying to practice yoga outside of my living room.
No one knows yet when the kids get to go back to school. Vendors in Tepito — who aren’t wearing face masks, and think this whole flu thing is a scam — have made a killing in recent days selling pirated copies of Monsters vs. Aliens.
Hey girl.. Sent you a message to your gmail account a few days ago, wondering how you were and then I found this. Cool blog. Hope you’re well. Send me a line, girl!
