Coronavirus: Mexicans demand crackdown on Americans crossing the border
A border wall divides Nogales, Arizona from the Mexican state of Sonora
Mexican protesters have shut a US southern border crossing amid fears that untested American travellers will spread coronavirus.
Residents in Sonora, south of the US state of Arizona, have promised to block traffic into Mexico for a second day after closing a checkpoint for hours on Wednesday.
They wore face masks and held signs telling Americans to "stay at home".
Mexico has fewer than 500 confirmed Covid-19 cases and the US over 65,000.
The border is supposed to be closed to all except "essential" business, but protesters said there has been little enforcement and no testing by authorities.
The blockade was led by members of a Sonora-based group, Health and Life, who called for medical testing to be done on anyone who crosses from the US into Mexico.
Jose Luis Hernandez, a group member, told the Arizona Republic: "There are no health screenings by the federal government to deal with this pandemic. That's why we're here in Nogales. We've taken this action to call on the Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to act now."
As of today the number of confirmed cases in the United States of America rose to 75,665! The numbers are going up by 6,000+ a day! Americans need to stay away. Trump makes it sound like they are the ones that should be shielded from other countries.

The worst infected areas are popular with Chinese tourists.
Actually, the worst infected parts of Italy where where they utilize the most temporary foreign Chinese for labour.
We often forget temporary labour flying in and out, and that's exactly why Italy has been hard hit.
Every Nation does this: Import cheap labour on a temporary basis, because we don't want to pay a higher price to pay locals to do the dirty work.
This will never end, until we can accept that we'll have to pay more for a locally produced item.
Italy has been hit hard because they are really old..
You would think that Fabio and Paolo kept the italian chicks popping more kids all the time...

Wrong, they were Chinese tourists and Italians wanted their money.

That's funny. The Mexicans are right to be worried about hedonistic yanks crossing the border. Good for them.

Our news also said there were Chinese workers in Italy. They went to Iran and Italy about the same time.
But Italy is also a place people go to visit the art and a major tourist destination.

Nouveau riche Chinese are the world's biggest travellers. Get them back on the rice paddies where they belong.
