  1. https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/salud/2021/05/25/cansino-aclara-que-efectividad-de-vacuna-covid-no-se-pierde-en-6-meses/ CanSino clarified on Tuesday that the effectiveness of its vaccine against COVID-19 is not lost six months after its application. The pharmacist pointed out that "a communication error" caused this information to be given to participants in the phase 3 trial carried out in Mexico. CanSino stressed that all vaccines against the new coronavirus are still in development and therefore, there is no certainty about how long their effectiveness lasts. "We do have the certainty that at some point each and every one will have to be reinforced, " he said in a statement. The company added that it is not yet known how much this reinforcement will be applied, but the date will be reported "as soon as we have the necessary data."
  2. Also noted one of the largest construction companies in Mexico did not bid on Dos Bocas, the Train Maya, and the trans carib-pacific railroad projects. When asked why thay said they did not believe any of them would be able to be completed during AMLO's term. The inference was that the contract would not be completed and paid.
  3. Possibly considered political .. if so I am sorry. There will be more international companies pulling out of Mexica. AMLO has rolled back as many as possible of previous administrations laws that allowed some competition and international technology in the energy sector. There are many lawsuits by international companies who stand to loose billions of dollars on investments in their electricty and petroleum projects in Mexico. Mexico is aready in violation of T-MEC agreement between Canada-USA-Mexico because of AMLO's edicts.
  4. Received text that I am in the affected zone. No need to report
  5. As with any new enterprise I wish them luck. Serving a tasting menu at 1 pm and the price they have advertised probably will not fit the marketplace lakeside. I would doubt that much market research was done.
  6. I have never had to "stand up to them" I have never taken a picture of a cop. I have never paid a bribe, I have never received a ticket in 50+ years of driving in Mexico. I have been stopped many times (I tend to speed) Sometimes they have been wrong. Mostly I have been in the wrong. I smile. I say I'm sorry if I did something wrong. I say I understand they are doing their job. Please give me the ticket and I will pay for my error.
  7. HAHAHAHA Would not dare??? If you want to aggravate a cop take his picture when he says hello. Why would any logical person wish to pi** off a cop? It just isn't logical, and it certainly won't end in a pleasant encounter. So now you have his picture. He asks for a bribe. Or punches you in the face. His word against yours. Who do you think will win??? Or are you going to record a video of the stop???? That will really make him happy..... Now you get a ticket for an illegal turn, broken stoplight, not wearing a seatbelt, and using a cell phone while driving. But you got his picture.
  8. They both are very helpful........ Just not for you ... which the poster really did not need to know. The link is to register for 50 years older and above and for pregnant women 18 or older. The other link has information about Tonalá, El Salto and Tlajomulco sites which many lakesiders have used, Appointment registration starts tomorrow.
  9. It depends on when you sign up. We have Telcel Mexico Canada USA unlimited calls with 1gb data, on a monthly billing for $199 a month. Never have used up our 1gb data because we always connect to wifi when possible. Checked for a friend 3 months ago and that plan wasn't available at that time. The OP did not state what plan they had. Thus check to see if US roaming is free or extra charge per minute.
  10. Another option is a small battery power bank that you charge at home. If your phone gets low it will charge it. Walmart sells different capacities for under $200.
  11. When you are roaming anywhere in the world your cell works like a local cell if a matching network frequency is available.To call Mexico you would need to enter 52 first. Check your AT&T plan to see if US roaming is free or extra charge per minute.
  12. Call izzi ...say you want to cancel and you will know in a few minutes what conditions your contract has. After all it is izzi not members of this webboard that know what contract you have.
  13. You don't need to get names. You don't need to try to intimidate them by taking photos. If there is anything that will aggravate any policeman anywhere in the world it is taking photos and checking their badge for their name. Smile! Be polite! Say you are sorry! Ask for the ticket and say you will pay the fine. They will either give you the ticket or let you go. This works not only here but in many other countries as well. Never never pay a bribe. Smile and ask for the ticket. I have been stopped in a few different countries ( I tend to speed) I haven't had a ticket since I was a teenager. I was even stopped in the famous speed trap near SLP about 5 years ago. I was doing about 110km in the 60km zone. Results .. no ticket travel safe have a good day, and a handshake.
  14. You are asking questions that probably you will need to contact izzi to get correct answers. Contracts change over time but many providers use the terms that you initially signed up for. So what someone here has had for a year or two may be very different than what you signed up for. The costs for any of the services and plans available to you should be available on the respective websites of the companies you wish to know about.
  15. Never heard of a Telmex cell. They do sell phones and you can recharge Telcel phones at Telmex.
  16. No. I have no need. My battery is huge and lasts all day with a balance of 70% or more. In any case I would not be in a the sun enough time to charge a phone.
  17. 12 watt solar chargers under $700 on Mercadolibre
  18. IShop should be able to help with required permits for vitamins. A doctors perscription does not change the need for an import permit for medicine or medical devices.
  19. Read the policy. First you are NOT covered for collision in the USA. Only liability. Seguro Gringo does not sell collision insurance. Only liability. My USA coverage states that Qualitas meets the minimum requirement liability for every state in the US Based on your statement someone traveling the USA would need to check each states liability laws. North Dakota liability minimum insurance would not meet the minimum in many states. It doesn't work that way. You don't need to change your policy while traveling to different states.
  20. I would venture to say based on the story and the picture that they are not looking for illegal North Americans. They are looking for illegal Central Americans who up to now have been basically ignored in this area. Normally old gringo looking folks have been waved by in tha past.
  21. Technically you are supposed to stop & check out. In practice nobody does unless they intend to fly back in which case you will need the return portion of the form. Going out just cross the bridge. About 20 miles in will be another checkpoint where they will ask of you are citizens. Returning you will encounter the aduana red/green light revision area. About 25 km from the border is the migracion checkpoint. There they might ask to see your passport & resident card but with Mexico plates they will most likely wave you past.
  22. Although fines went up this year in Jalisco the ticket is almost always less than bribing a policeman (which is a crime). 50% discount on fine if paid right away. Be polite & smile. Say you are sorry for your offense. Just ask for the ticket. More often than not they will let you off.
  23. There are almost always federal police (now Guardia Nacional) at points on federal highways. Many times at the toll booths. Unless you exhibit very suspicious behaviour they might ask a question like where are you going or where are you coming from. Then they wave you through. If stopped for speeding they will ask for your driver's license. Never have I been asked for anything else in 50+ years driving in Mexico. Up until a few years ago there used to be 2 or 3 military checkpoints on the way to Laredo. Now there seems to be 2 that are unmanned half the time. There even use to be one on the other side of the lake at Tuxcueca just before the turn to Mazamitla. I was asked once if I had any drugs in the car. They never asked for ID of any kind.
  24. But one should note. You will not find any immigration officials wandering the streets asking to see your Resident Card or FMM which has similar statements. You will only find them at IMN offices, airports, and border checkpoints. Is it possible that a local policeman or transito would detain you and call an IMN official to the scene? Theoretically but it's doubtful they would even know where to call, and they certainly would not wait around for hours if they could contact an IMN official who would be willing to get to the location needed, So as gringohombre and others have suggested. Leave the card in a safe place like you do with your passport. And if asked by local police or transitos politely say 'lo siento solo oficiales de inmigración"
