Jack, I'm the "shelter in place " has been lifted. People still need to leave. Mexico is still a country owned by the Cartels. Kidnapping of USA citizens has always been a problem. My husband was in Mexico for business numerous times. They always had a dedicated driver. They were instructed to never leave the "compound " , a hotel with restaurants. They were cautioned not to use ice in their drinks. Bottled beer was the safest.

Ioan Grillo - who lives in Mexico & has long covered the cartels there - skillfully wrote about the security situation there two years ago, which I believe applies to what we are seeing today. It's worth a read: https://tinyurl.com/mrantv5f

Jack, I did read Ioan Grillos . It was an interesting read. Apparently, there have always been dangerous areas in Mexico. Thank you Jack for sharing this article with me.
