And by lax I mean that they simply made me fill out a piece of paper specifying that I was fit to fly, without aches and pains, and not about to soil myself. When I asked my Aero Mexico attendee about my future May 4th flight back to Mexico City — and if I should worry about not getting back — she tossed her eyes from left to right and nodded no. Then I thought, “She’s not going to tell you the airport is possibly closing because then the shit would really hit the fan.”

I assumed 90% of people flying out of Mexico City would be wearing masks in anticipation of swine herpes filtering into their lungs, but I am very wrong. There are just as many faces without masks as there are wearing them, and I’m not sure how comfortable I feel about an airport that takes away my hand sanitizer during a potential global pandemic. Maybe their just stockpiling in order to redistribute free hand sanitizer for the city?

In other news, Mexico City is at a level 8 out of 10, which means absolutely monkey balls to me. But a level 10 does mean that the airport would have to shut down and zombies would rule the streets. Yeah. Keep me posted people. Peep Intersections for some of the latest details. Over and out.
