We scheduled our covid test and took it today. In the nose, 15 minutes later you get the results test.

I asked, how many do you do a week and when did it start? Rough estimates - 125-150/wk - 8 weeks so far.

How many positives from the roughly 1,000?

ZERO. NADA.

They had 1 false positive from a person who had covid a month or so prior.

Statistically that seems odd. Shrug.

I get your point but the tests are exactly the same as US. I've taken the test in both locals.

How they run the test after you submit the sample matters.

They stick the swab in the solution. Have you seen the nose swab test? It's very simple to administer and even more simple to assess.

Wife and I were in Cancun at the beginning of February. There was a genuine positive at the resort. They locked him in a quarantine room until he tested positive.

Glad to hear even Mexico is collecting everyone's dna...
I can just imagine covid result testing in some back kitchen at the resort.

I don't know how they could key you from slipping out to go to the beach or pool. I would.


They had a security guard watching 24/7

Mexico didn't have a group of powerful people willing to do anything to get rid of their president and seize power for themselves. Even the drug cartels are more scrupulous than that.

The form they give you would be pretty easy to forge. I doubt there is any communication between the mexican government and the airlines. Just show a document that says you are negative and dont worry about the test.

When we were in Jamaica last month taking our covid test at the resort, I asked the nurses what they do when someone tests positive. They didn't answer me. I'm not sure *anyone* **really** tests positive....

This. They may allow one or two to pop just to say "look, we don't pass everyone!" But they're not in the business of allowing people to stay two weeks in a room for free.

The Cozumel Covid test:
Tester: please open your mouth so we can swab you.
Tester: sir or madam while we wait for your results do you intend to spend lots of money at our hotels, dive shops, bars, and restaurants?
Traveler: Oh yes we do.
Tester: Well it looks like your negative, please enjoy your stay.

I'm sure Mexico also tests all those "migrants" walking through their country on the way to the US.
