Yucatan & the dinosaurs are in the international news again....with a 66 million-year-old story.
Strong evidence emerged in the 1980's that the abrupt extinction of about 75% of world's species, including non-flying dinosaurs, was caused by an asteroid hitting the earth at the end of the Cretaceous period. Scientists believe this impact occurred 200 miles west of Isla Mujeres, resulting in the 125 mile-wide "Chicxulub" crater. This week, researchers from Austin say that the concentrations of asteroid dust found inside the impact crater has "closed the case of what killed the dinosaurs". They say this puts to rest alternate theories that it was a series of volcanic eruptions or some other global calamity.
The impact of the 7-mile-wide asteroid would have sent vast amounts of vaporized rock into the atmosphere for up to two decades, blocking out the sun and causing an extended global winter, before falling back to earth. Scientists discovered evidence of this in the concentrations of iridium (Ir) found in clay sediments that were laid down at that time, all around the world. This element is abundant in asteroids and extremely rare in the Earth's crust. This Ir layer is formally the 'golden spike' that defines the end of the Cretaceous period and the Mesozoic Era according to the Geological Time Scale.
It was the discovery of high-energy iridium deposits around the Gulf of Mexico & Caribbean in the 1990's that lead to the discovery of the Chicxulub crater and its unique stratigraphy. The new analysis of nearly 3000 feet of rock core from the crater below the seafloor was published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed journal "Science Advances". In the crater, the sediment layer deposited after the strike is so thick that scientists were able to precisely date the asteroid dust to within two decades after impact. UT professor Sean Gulick said, "If you’re actually going to put a clock on extinction 66 million years ago, you could easily make an argument that it all happened within a couple of decades, which is basically how long it takes for everything to starve to death."
A separate study of the cores in 2019 revealed that the crater rock was depleted of sulfur, compared to the surrounding limestone. This suggests that the impact blew large amounts of sulfur into the air, which would have contributed to the cooling then fallen as acid rain, worsening the situation on the ground. Scientists have also found evidence that the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean experienced huge tsunamis at the time of the impact.

 The municipal DIF (social service agency) has begun distributing the 215 "pantries" donated by OXXO, and will give 114 on the island and 101 in the Continental Zone, to those in need due to this health crisis.  Yuseli López Tec, director of the DIF Isla Mujeres,said when the pantries were donated in early February a call was put out to single mothers to register, and registration is still open at the DIF Facebook page. They should leave their name and phone number and will receive a time and date, in order to avoid agglomerations which can contribute to the propagation of Covid-19.

 There is no official date when the ferries of the Molina-Aviomar company will go into operation, but TV Isla Mujeres says it could be next week. The company is recruiting personnel to work in Puerto Juarez and in Isla Mujeres where it is expected they will open a new ticket office. The two boats, "Jetway 1 & 2" are moored at the dock from which they will operate, where shrimp boats were previously docked, which is to the south of the Ultramar terminal and has public parking.

        On Thursday, senior residents 60 and older from the mainland part of the municipality, including Francisco May and the Agricultural Zone, were transported to the Community Hospital on the island to receive vaccinations against C-19. Administering the first dose of the C-19 vaccine to seniors of Isla Mujeres began on Sunday and concluded on Thursday. Officials reminded everyone not to let their guards down against this disease and to redouble their prevention efforts, including wearing face masks correctly, social distancing, frequent handwashing and avoiding agglomerations.




 Help us reduce the propagation of C-19...wear face masks.

 The Vectors Department of the Ministry of Health plans to begin fogging to prevent the proliferation of mosquitoes which cause dengue today (published yesterday) which should conclude Friday, if it doesn't rain. The same is expected in the Continental Zone where the work began a day earlier.  After weeks of reviewing and reading ovidtraps distributed around Isla Mujeres, it was determined that there has been a growth of eggs in the traps around Salina Chica, which is the reason this fogging program was carried out. The same actions will take place in various parts of the island and the mainland. An increase in mosquitoes was detected around the lagoons and salinas, which  is where most of this type of insects are generated. LINK

 Our Northern Zone continues in Yellow on the state epidemiological light thru Sunday, March 7th, as does the Southern Zone.


 

Today, Isla Mujeres continues to report a total of 274 cases of C-19 with 25 deaths and 227 recovered. The state geoportal for February 25rd continues to report 6 active cases in Isla Mujeres as: Meteorologcio-3, Salina Grande-1, Amp la Gloria-1, and colonia 006-1. There have been no new cases nor deaths reported in the past 12 days.

 


 Mexico updated its pre-flight questionnaire, which can now be obtained via the mobile application and website  https://www.vuelaseguro.com. It can also be  downloaded to your smartphone at the airport via a QR code. You'll need to include your seat assignment and you must fill-in the health information within 12 hours of your flight, not before.

 The opening "Create an account page" is bilingual. 


 The first step is your flight information. #2 is Contact Info. #3 is Personal Info. #4 is Health Info, which must be entered within 12 hours pre-flight. At the top you can put it into English, this is a screenshot from Mundukos' instructional video, which is in Spanish.




The City announced that vaccinations against C-19 will be available for seniors 60 and older today at the Community Hospital before 2p. On Tuesday the federal Director General of CENAPRECE (National Programs for Disease Prevention & Control) announced that foreigners residing in Mexico are eligible who lack a resident visa. He said although the only thing that is needed is an identification, any proof of residency is always useful, but many times it is not necessary. The booster is in two months, so if they aren't planning to be here then, it is better to be vaccinated in their country of origin. He said this at a national press conference on Tuesday, and the transcript is at this link. He said you don't need a CURP. 
The relevant section is below Dr Ruy Lopez Ridaura's name & title in BOLD....scroll down to where it says: "PREGUNTA: Gracias. Andrea Vega de Animal Politico". It ends where it says "Esta aqui." (after the questioner/interlocutora said 'okay gracias & Gabriela resumes speaking)LINK  

Here's the digital translation of most of the relevant section...QUESTION: Thank you. Andrea Vega, from Animal Político.
We want to clarify some questions about the vaccination of foreigners. Some rectors have shared photos of posters in the modules where it says that they will not be vaccinated. We want to know if this is true or in which cases they are going to be vaccinated.
For example, what happens to people who are residents or who are studying here? Will they have access to the vaccine or not?
If it corresponds to them, for example, because they live in the mayor's office or in the municipality where they are vaccinated.
And if yes, what documents do you need to present? Please.
And I have two other questions.
GABRIELA DEL CARMEN NUCAMENDI CERVANTES: Doctor Ruy, if you like, could you start answering this one in particular.
RUY LÓPEZ RIDAURA: Yes, of course. Thank you very much for the question, because it gives us the opportunity to clarify this aspect that has caused doubts in social networks and also in the opinion of the general public.
We want to be very clear. The National Vaccination Plan that includes vaccinating every person who is in the national territory, regardless of their nationality.
So, although there was perhaps some confusion in some operational sites, but we have already (transmission failure) both in training and in the different communication links that we have from the federation with the operation in each of the vaccination sites that do not, that all people, all people who are in the vaccinated territory are candidates to receive the vaccine, regardless of their nationality and regardless of whether they have a valid CURP or have any document that proves them as a resident.
The only important thing is your identification, we need to have an identification, there on the site it is registered and on the site a temporary individual identification key is also generated that allows us to also track and schedule the second dose when needed.
Then, the only thing that is needed is an identification and that the person (transmission failure) this government in general has the trust of the people, we know that they live in the places where they are programmed, where the vaccination points are enabled; however, any proof of residency is always useful, although it is not necessary many times.
QUESTIONER: You don't have to present proof of address, just identification?
RUY LÓPEZ RIDAURA: Yes, just with the identification. If they can, if they are residents and have some proof of residence, help in the operation; but, I repeat, it is not necessary and trust is made in the people who voluntarily declare that they live in areas where vaccination centers are being carried out
INTERLOCUTOR: And this even in the case of those who are passing through who are not residents or who are not working here? Even if they are only passing through, are they going to be vaccinated?
RUY LÓPEZ RIDAURA: Yes, really the scenarios, as we have also commented on other evenings, I mean, we are always going to find some specific cases, exceptions that come out of the rule, but it is really important that these are really minority cases and it is not important either. establish a rule that modifies the ability to vaccinate (transmission failure) they may not have a residence and are temporarily there, we estimate that these will be specific cases and it is not worth having a strict, inflexible criterion to allow their vaccination .
QUESTIONER: But at what stage would they be vaccinated? Because, for example, if they are passing through, they may not be able to prove residence in the mayor's office or in a municipality and perhaps they tell them right now it is not their turn. When would they be vaccinated?
RUY LÓPEZ RIDAURA: That is why, that is why what we mentioned is that they are specific cases and in principle vaccination is estimated for all people who are in Mexican territory, including residents; But we know that there are also people who or do not have the full status of formal residence, they are also candidates to receive the vaccination and in the extreme there are these specific cases of people who are temporarily, they will be the fewest and therefore Vaccination sites can be studied case by case and I am sure it will not cause more problems that can be solved locally.
What I think is important is that, also for people who are passing through, that they consider that vaccination has a schedule, a dose schedule in most vaccines and in those that are currently being applied and therefore it is It is important that these people consider that they have to receive their second dose, and therefore they would be invited to take this into account. If they are on a temporary basis and are going to return to their places of origin, it may be more convenient for people in this situation to receive their complete scheme at their place of origin.
