[QUOTE=CaptainSolo;4706179]How are the selections in HK and on the streets?[/QUOTE]Still a pretty good selection. Just a little less because of the weather and coronavirus.
Yesterday chicas texted me HK and Chicago were open on Sunday and Monday but there were virtually no clients. Bars owners were talking about shutting down due to lack of business.
As of today, Baja has ordered schools to close, but only recommends people to avoid bars, not total shutdown. With more confirmed cases expected in Tijuana in the next few days, bars, street girls, massages dens, restaurants, hotels, food carts, stores ect will likely be all shut down in La Zona.
Any bros happen to be in the area please take a few pics of the scene. Would be interesting to see. This pic of the San Ysidro is old, showing workers still putting covers over the SENTRI lanes, and they were blocked. No buenos.
Baja California confirms first two cases of coronavirus.
The state bumped up its response to Phase 2, which includes canceling events and school closures.
By WENDY FRY March 17,20206:46 PM.
BAJA CALIFORNIA — Baja California Secretary of Health Alonso Pérez Rico announced Tuesday the first two confirmed cases of coronavirus infection in the Mexican border state.
Pérez said the two cases are both female patients from Mexicali, ages 54 and 58, who had recently traveled to the state of Washington in the United States.
Baja California bumped up its response to Phase 2, which includes canceling events and school closures.
Until Tuesday, Baja California had not documented a single case of the COVID-19, a highly contagious disease caused by a new virus not previously identified in humans.
Cases in San Diego County, just north of Baja California, have been growing rapidly in recent days.
In Baja California, officials have identified 54 suspected cases and ruled out 37 cases as of Tuesday evening. There remain 15 cases where officials are awaiting results. Of those, nine are in Tijuana, one is in Mexicali and five are in Ensenada.
Pérez urged the public to remain calm but continue taking preventative measures, such as social distancing and frequent hand washing.
Schools will be canceled across the state starting Wednesday, a few days earlier than the already scheduled shutdown set to begin Friday, he said.
The secretary, who is also a physician, recommended people avoid bars, restaurants, casinos and gyms to prevent further spread of the coronavirus.
Residents should try to avoid meetings and public places with more than 10 people in attendance, he said.
In Tijuana, state health officials denied assertions that the absence of confirmed local cases indicated they were not adequately testing residents. The agency pointed to testing locations in each city and phone numbers for concerned people to call for testing options.
SIMNSA, a Tijuana medical facility and health plan, has installed tents in the border region to screen the public for possible cases of the coronavirus and has thousands of rapid result testing kits, said its president, Frank Carrillo.
"We're very concerned about the virus here in Tijuana and we want to send a message to the San Diego community that we are taking proactive steps to prevent its spread," said Carrillo.
Carrillo said several of the screening checkpoints will be set up in the northbound pedestrian border crossings.
Border leaders have urged Baja California officials to take the pandemic more seriously. Gustavo de la Fuente, the executive director of the San Diego-Tijuana Smart Border Coalition, said drastic measures need to be taken on both sides of the border to prevent a binational public health crisis.
"Though a facility has been designated to isolate infected patients, Tijuana does not have medical infrastructure to manage an impending surge in people believing they should be tested or for those with the infection," he and others wrote in a commentary for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
"Tellingly, there are no public hand-washing stations. Given how the virus multiplies and the Mexican federal government's lax response to a potential outbreak, we believe faster regional — border-wide — reaction is in order," De La Fuente said.
On Monday, in an interview with the Union-Tribune, Pérez said his department was collaborating daily with health officials in California.
"We have been preparing our population for six weeks" for the likelihood of a coronavirus outbreak, he said.
The health secretary encouraged residents to only travel to the United States for "essential" reasons.
Though Mexican federal health officials have said they would consider closing the border, Pérez said Monday it does not make sense to do so given the current circumstances.
"That does not mean that the situation will not change based on how many cases are presented. " he said. "Of course, the Government of Mexico and especially the State of Baja California will do what is necessary to protect our population. ".

So I went to pick up my parent s yesterday from the San ysidro border. Was ready to check out Tj la zone for a bit and probably shag some hot porn star looking girl before I meet up with the fam. Anyway they made it to the border a lot faster than I though and my cousin who drove them down from Ensenada told me to just stay on this side of the border and they'll walk across with my parents. So I was little disappointed didn't get to check out the scene. But what did happen was Border patrol agent didn't want to let cousin in saying that everything is closed over here in the states and they have no business being over here. Daaaaaaaaaaaaam! My cousin was like yes I do I talking my aunt and uncle safely to their son my cousin. Now you know these border patrol agents are just order followers so take this for what it's worth. But after reading Captn's post and what stupid ass Governor Newsome said last night about lockdown it looks like there probably be a problem if you want to go back and forth from Tijuana. Plus maybe not enough clients in bars so probably close down? I'm curious too if anyone has made it over there and can show pictures or describe the scene? Maybe 30 days from now will be better.
As happened in Europe and Iran, Mexico will have a spike in CoVid19 infections and deaths in 2 to 3 weeks, scientifically unavoidable, regardless what AMLO said.
The costs in health care, death and economic losses will be horrendous and long lasting. Mexican government officials are irrational and are burying their heads in the proverbial sand in the face of danger. Mexicans will have to pay for this pandemic with their lives, health and earnings, and will have good reasons to hate their government leaders.

Mexico Is Frighteningly Unprepared for the Coronavirus.
As the virus spreads, the government is still downplaying the danger.
By JORDI OLIVERES.
March 19,20203:42 PM.

Last weekend, 110,000 people attended the "Vive Latino" music festival in Mexico City, which took place as scheduled despite several confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Mexico's capital. At the same time, while governments worldwide took drastic measures to slow down the spread of the disease, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, known as AMLO, traveled to the south of Mexico and met with adoring crowds, shaking hands and hugging and kissing supporters. During his daily press conferences, AMLO has insisted that his honesty and moral rectitude protect him from the virus and that the threat of COVID-19 is greatly exaggerated. "I have great faith that we will move our dear Mexico forward, that misfortunes and pandemics won't affect us," he told reporters at a press conference on Sunday.
The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Mexico may seem low, but it has grown exponentially over the last week, from eight to 118, and the first death from the disease was reported on Wednesday night. Moreover, Mexico has very limited testing capabilities, and the official statistics are not a reliable indicator of the actual number of cases in the country. Although the government's position is that Mexico is still in "Phase 1" of the pandemic, meaning all diagnosed cases of COVID-19 are people who caught the virus while traveling abroad, most experts agree the virus is already rapidly spreading within Mexico and that the government's nonchalance about the situation could have disastrous results.
"We need political leaders that are properly advised and understand the gravity of the situation," said Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. "A lot of people in Mexico would die unnecessarily unless the government gets very seriously prepared for this. " Getting seriously prepared means taking drastic measures to curb the spread of the virus, bolstering the hospital system, and helping people cope when the economy grinds to a halt.
The Mexican government has not yet imposed any travel restrictions nor encouraged people to stay home, and it seems very unlikely that the public health system, which suffered drastic budget cuts and shortages last year, will be prepared for the magnitude of the imminent crisis.
"The current guidelines are 'wash your hands, don't touch your face, and avoid people who are coughing,' " said Gordon McCord, a professor at the School of Global Policy & Strategy at the University of California San Diego. "We know from the experiences of Asia and Italy that if all you do is avoid people who are coughing, you're going to get an explosion of sick folks in the population, so that's coming. " Italy, which after China has the most confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths to date, has 340 hospital beds per 100,000 people, which has proved woefully insufficient. Mexico, by comparison, has only 150 hospital beds per 100,000 people, less than half.
Around 5 percent of coronavirus cases become critical, meaning they result in respiratory failure, septic shock, and organ dysfunction. These cases require intensive care to keep the patients alive, which is limited and more expensive. Doctors in Italy, which has an above-average number of intensive care unit beds for European standards (12.5 per 100,000 people), are being forced to decide which patients to keep alive and which ones to let die because there are not enough respirators available for all critical cases. Mexico's public health care system has 3,000 ICU beds in the entire country. That's 2. 3 beds per 100,000 people.
According to a prominent Mexican epidemiologist, who asked to remain anonymous because of possible hostility from government authorities, Mexico will see a spike in coronavirus cases in the next couple of weeks, and within a month the death toll will begin to rise significantly. "It's not that Mexico isn't taking the problem seriously enough. It's that it did not take it seriously when it should have, and now we are starting to see community spread," the doctor said. "From my perspective, we have all the conditions for this to turn into a tragedy, similar to Italy, if not worse. ".
The government's nonchalance may be the result of previous experience. In 2009, the Mexican government took severe measures to contain the spread of a new strain of swine flu. Public life was virtually shut down in the capital for several weeks, which took its toll on an already struggling economy in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Mexico suffered its first recession since 2009 last year, and government officials have indicated they do not want to overreact to the situation out of concern for the country's economy. In a press conference last week, Hugo López-Gatell, Mexico's deputy health minister, told reporters that "the 2009 economic loss was directly related, in the most part, to the disruption of tourism, trade and services. . It is so important, with very careful precision, not to take preemptive actions that do not correspond to the magnitude of the risk. ".
It is unclear how López-Gatell is assessing the magnitude of the current risk when no significant amount of testing has been done on the population. At the end of last week, the government had tested only around 500 patients. By comparison, South Korea, which has had some of the best results controlling the COVID-19 outbreak, has tested 270,000 people. "I'm sympathetic to the desire of the government not to pull the trigger too early while the number of cases are small," said McCord. "But if you're going to do a multiphased approach, there's one thing you absolutely need if you're going to get the timing right, and that's data. Data means mass testing of the population so that you know in real time what's going on in terms of the epidemiology of this disease. ".
López-Gatell announced this week that the government will spend 3. 5 billion pesos (roughly $147 million) on tests, protective gear, and other equipment to address the pandemic, and that widespread testing will begin next week. The government's equipment purchases are based on an estimate of 250,000 cases of the coronavirus over the course of the pandemic and 10,528 people requiring intensive care. That number seems absurdly low, considering that epidemiologists predict around half of the world's population could get the virus and that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's worst-case scenario estimate for the USA, Mexico's next-door neighbor, is 65 percent of the population getting infected. Based on the CDC's projections, Mexico, which has a population of 130 million, should be planning for a worst-case scenario of 84.5 million infections and 4. 2 million cases that require intensive care.
Some new measures to curb the spread of the virus will be implemented in the next few days—public schools are going on spring break ahead of schedule at the end of the week, most colleges are switching to online classes, and the country's biggest concert promoter canceled all of its shows until mid-April—but the government still insists on delaying more significant measures, like travel restrictions and social distancing. "If one begins these measures too early, one extinguishes the will of society to keep them up," said López-Gatell in a recent press conference. "And although some of those measures might be useful now, they may be even more useful in the future. ".
That is simply not true. The more time and opportunity the virus has to spread in the population, the worse the situation is going to be later on. "The more you refrain from the social distancing message now, the longer people feel 'Let's go to the restaurants, bars, beaches one last time'—then the higher the spike will be in two or three weeks when this really hits the health system," said McCord. "And I think everybody senses Mexico is going to be overrun. ".
Jonathon,
Did yoru parents cross back OK? Why was your cousin not allowed to cross? Is he a US citizen or not?
US Citizens should still be able to come back to the US, but with the State Dept's level 4 travel warning today, in a week US citizen may be denied reentry and made to shelter in place.
With AMLO's nonchalant attitude about this pandemic, Mexico will have massive number of infection and deaths, may be worse than Italy and Iran. Mexico is not a good place to be in in this pandemic. You should go home, lock your door, scrub your dick clean of anything Tijuana, and hope the US will clean off this virus in a few weeks.

Hey,
Just dropping in to state what I saw. Their weren't too many girls nor guys. Found a girl who kind of looks like Madison Ivy, but was thicker. She was pretty hot to be honest. She offered to go upstairs 4 80 + room. I turned her down. Idk why, but she seems like she would underperform (plus I don't want to catch the virus). So yeah, their were some solid 8's and whatnot. A girl by the name Rose from Sinaloa said that if business was slow, then she would head back home. Hearing from others, it seems like things are going to slow down to the point that places may consider closing down. It's all rumors, so take it with a grain of salt.
The best thing we can do is take a break, continue working (if you still can), and save up funds so when this virus dies down we can go have fun again. If you can't resist the urge, go rub one out in the shower.
Good luck.
Samurai,
Saturday morning is usually light, A bro got in HK last weekend said; there were still 30 girls and only a few guys in the club, girls seemed desperate and were very aggressive. You are very brave going to TJ in the middle of a pandemic. You don't have to go to bed with a girl to catch the virus. It spreads by droplets of saliva and body fluids in the air.
Is this blonde Rose in the pic you were talking with? She has a few tats. If this is the right girl, she's a sweet and fun girl. One of my wingmen is in love with her. Her story is sad. She has twin baby boys back in Sinaloa and has to work hard to take care of them. There is another Rose with brunette hair, slim, light skin, no tats, slightly older but very pretty like a movie star, but I have not seen her in HK for 3,4 months.
A few HK chicas texted me a week ago, saying there were very few clients and very little business, manager was talking about shutting the club down a while. I suspect Tijuana will have an outbreak in about 2 to 3 weeks. I get used to partying with hot, sexy HK chicas every weekend and get very bored not going, but would monitor news and wait for an all-clear announcement from reliable sources before going gain, may take a few months. OUCH!

It does look like the girl I was talking with. As I had stated, I had official business on 3/13. It seemed like people were not taking things seriously out there. I also went to Costco. People were in line and they only let you buy 1 toilet paper & one sanitizer. I thought it was strange. But yeah, I do realize that Saturday mornings tend to be light. People may say what they want about these girls, but at the end of the day we're all people. We need human contact and can't stay in isolation forever. Perhaps create a "save-a-hoe" fundraiser? With the dollar exchange rate, a few bucks could go a long way. HK isn't really my scene anymore. For many, these girls are super hot, easy to talk to, and willing to please. I don't like the time limits & I don't have the time of day to get a room and take multiple girls upstairs.

Yes it's true, HK is closed for now. The girl I've been with for a couple months used to work there and she showed me a video that her friend sent her.
Now you know they're finally taking it serious when they close HK down.
[QUOTE=WhoreMaster91;4719177]Heard HK is closed. I guess you guys will not be getting pussy anymore.[/QUOTE]
You don't need HK. Guys are crossing border, taking HK girls and escorts to Cascada. Street girls are still working, standing 6 feet apart for prevention hehe. If you are horny and brave enough you can still have sex with hot girls in TJ.
Our last TJ trip was Sat March 7. I was even concerned back then. My wingmen have been nagging me to go. One guy has very high health risks but his passion for TJ girls overules his logic every weekend. To me it's too risky and the costs are just way too high to catch CoVid19, get knocked out for months waiting for respirators and die, or recover but lose 30% of lungs capacity for life.
Like Italy which acted with denials, Mexico will be hit hard in 2 to 3 weeks. You don't even know who carry the virus without symptoms and spread infection around. The impacts to Mexico's poor economy will be so hard, millions people would go hungry. They would rob gringos or anyone for food and they might start a revolution.

2 ISG guys have reported COVID-19 symptoms after coming back from Tijuana.
Infection and outbreak are inevitable in Mexico, just delayed a few weeks, but likely far worse than the US.
It's wise to stay off the hobby for a few more weeks until the situation is better understood or hopefully cleared up.
