SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 2020 – #4575
Notes: This is getting a difficult. So many of you have great ideas about what to do, when to do it and how. In my opinion, it’s crossing the line over to “opinions”. The comments and replies fill up my inbox. Stick with the facts……..if someone publishes a suggestion, do your research and check with your MD to see if it is valuable and safe for you. You all know the disclaimer scenario, “The BPE does not endorse…….etc., etc.”.
Also, let’s keep the local employees working, order a To Go dinner and shop locally. FB rumor, Smokey’s is and/or has Ruben Sandwiches! 624-141-0294 or text US cell 858-231-1358 for to go orders or free home delivery

CALENDAR
Empty! Watch for the next full moon, April 7th
COVID INFO
a. All Catholic masses have been canceled until future notification. TheTemplo is closed for all of our safety. God Bless you all!!
b. You may or may not know that yesterday the Mexican government Closed all ports in Baja from Cabo to Ensenada. This statement also made it clear there would be no boats in or out. No recreational sports fishing and no commercial fishing. The article in the Mexican paper said that it is in effect until further notice but I suspect 60 days. The only ships in would be emergency vessels. A bad omen and of course will crush any tourism for this summer. 2 months would also probably mean cancellation of the Bisbee but I have not spoken with Wayne yet. This is from the Mexican paper in Cabo directly. Stay healthy and inside, All the closures are both Sea of Cortez and Pacific sides.
c. El Cardonal recycling is postponed until further notice due to the Coronavirus. Thanks

d. This is an “idea” for a way around disinfecting wipes (that we cannot even get here!).
Take a bag of baby wipes, cut out the bottom, take them out and put them in a zip-lock baggie. Pour 1 to 1.5 cups of Clorox into the bag and mix it up. There you go, disinfectant wipes. Be sure to mark the baggie. – charlene.wenger@gmail.com
e. East Cape Health Center discussion for oxygen compressors. We have access through our medical providers for brand new compressors that serve dual purpose. These machines will take room air and convert the 21% in exchange for medical grade oxygen, this device has dual function with nebulizer capability. This dual function helps with respiratory support in the event of exacerbation of asthma, emphysema, COPD or pneumonia. If you have budgetary restraints we are selling our old fully functional compressors without the nebulizer capability. IF you are interested in contributing or purchasing one for your home please email me at
charlene.wenger@gmail.com or call or stop by the clinic 624-124-8203

h. Via Lori M. FB: This just in from a friend of a friend who works in the State Department: “American citizens currently in Mexico should enroll in the STEP program on the State Department website.” The “Smart Traveler Enrollment Program” (STEP) is a free service to allow U.S. citizens and nationals traveling abroad to enroll their trip with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Registration makes your presence known, and enables a consular official to contact you in case of an emergency. https://step.state.gov/
