re "Looks increasingly like my trip to Copper Canyon is a bust."

Barrancas Del Cobre! One of our legendary local river rats explored it in 1952.

This FB page has many photos with descriptive comments of his 1952 trip...

"From Dick Griffith: The year was 1952, Chihuahua, Mexico. There were perhaps 40,000 Tarahumara Indians that lived in the canyons of the Sierra Madre mountains. The canyons Barrancas del Cobre - Copper Canyon in English - had a large population. We were very close to these Indians for two months."

The funny thing to me, is watching everyone mill about,, buying up masks, wearing them as their badge of courage.

1.) A mask outdoors is like a milk bucket under a bull. Once you get outside, aerosolized virus is diluted rapidly.

2.) Aerosolized virus indoors, in close contact is a real threat, but how long indoors, amount of virus etc.. all complicated. They have established the virus can persist on every kind of surface and is persistent fecal-oral. If I had to guess, surface contact is the main route. Healthcare professionals who are surrounded get it every which way.

3.) My flights back to USA got shuffled, but not scrambled. It looks like either airlines are consolidating flights, or, perhaps CDC got off their butts and decided to control entry. In countries like thailand and taiwan, is much much easier to scoop up passengers with a single port of entry. Cannot believe our government didn't think of this 4 months ago. The post-mortem head chopping will no doubt be soon.
