Morning thoughts
For weeks I have been stuck in my house, enviously watching people from my balcony as they are going about their business and having parties in the evenings. It seemed so unfair. And last night I received a notice that Jalisco has made it a law that anyone sixty and over is not allowed to leave their houses for ANY reason. We will be fined by roaming policemen if they see us out of our cages. But the younger people can carry on as usual. As if they don't get or transfer this virus?
We were also told not to go to the hospital if we get sick. We were given a phone number to call and a doctor will come out to see us in our houses. Good luck with that. We could be dead before that doctor would arrive.

The Chapala government won’t be sending out paddy wagons to round up rogue residents who balk at tougher Covid-19 prevention measures that took effect throughout Jalisco Monday, April 20. Local authorities will, however, flex their muscles to make people comply with the new directives on social distancing, staying at home and compulsory use of face masks in public, announced Sunday evening by Governor Enrique Alfaro.
The strict health crisis rules call for citizens to stay home unless they must go out to work or to take care of essential necessities. In those cases, individuals are required to wear masks while out in public or riding public transportation. Only a single member of the household should go out on legitimate family chores.
Chapala SÃndico (chief legal officer) Isaac Trejo delved into details during an hour-long April 20 press conference with four local media reporters conducted via the Zoom platform.
He explained that municipal police and designated City Hall officials are empowered to impose fines and even detain individuals who defy the enhanced restrictions, and will do so if deemed necessary. However, local authorities are immediately focused on enforcement through raising awareness.
Trejo indicated that due to the unique makeup of Chapala’s populace, a certain degree of tolerance may be observed for elderly citizens, including expat seniors, as long as they closely follow the rules, only go about necessary business such as shopping, banking and medical appointments, and return home promptly.
