What I read said he died from a heart attack brought on by the virus.

Kinda like slipping on a banana peel and landing in front of a steam roller. The banana peel didn't kill you.

I wonder if his wife regrets moving to mexico for retirement. I can't imagine having the quality of health care down there we have up here, but could be all wrong.

Some of Mexico has far better health care than parts of the US. And then of course, how much money you have matters in both countries.

True, but we'll never know if the hospital he went to was up to snuff.

Puerto Vallarta is a major ocean resort town on the Pacific side of Mexico. Lost of large cruise ships have that has their destination/port of call. Has been for quite a while. Medical facilities on a par with most larger US communities.

Don't know, never been, won't be going. I have no desire to travel outside the USA any longer.

While I have the desire and interest, the obstacles and complications that existed prior to the virus were such that I found such travel very discouraging. Even long range domestic travel was devolving into something painful.

While I am not fond of sitting on my arse for hours on end, it is mostly some of the arseholes encountered on the way that discourage my travels. It will be interesting to see how things go when the Interstates become flooded with self operated vehicles. At least it should remove the human temperament....unless you are riding in the new "Terminator Liquimetal Mark 2" !

Ever read the short story "Duel" also made into a film (Dennis Weaver)?
