Iāve been here almost four years.

And why do I live in Mexico? My mother passed away from blood cancer in November 2016. And so before that I quit my whole life to take care of my mother and help my family. And so since I quit my whole life, I didnāt have anything left. And so I decided to explore

I decided on Mexico City,
0:50
you always hear about part of the yard, Cancun Cabo, but Iāve never heard of Mexico City before. Donāt ask me why I lived on the border twice and had never said Step, step foot in Mexico, because you always hear about how dangerous it is, suddenly, Iām gonna go check it out anyways, because thatās the kind of person I am.

2:13
so Saturday, if you have been paying attention to whatās been going on with me, my allergies and my asthma have been kicking my ass
2:21
and so
2:25
Saturday I felt like someone was sitting on my chest.
2:29
It was real tight in there.
2:34
Real

like pressure. And so I decided to go to emergency room around 10 oāclock or so that night and they gave me a shot in my ass of steroids. And after that I felt like a whole new ass person about dancing around and stuff.
2:55
And so they took an X ray.
2:57
They told me that I shouldnāt have been able to breathe because I could breathe just fine. Itās just, it was tight in there. And it was like You shouldnāt have been able to breathe maāam. Your chest is but and so I need to go see a pulmonologist but it seems like all the pulmonologist are booked up Iām just going to see if I can drop in right quick on one of these people, maybe two or three cuz like thereās no appointments. Iāve been calling around before I leave this house then buffalo my asthma pump and taking my allergy pills religiously. They gave me a prescription for another allergy medicine. And so that that might work better but I got all these pills that I bought. So Iām gonna go through those first and then Iāll switch to see if itās if itās better, sheās she claims that these are supposed to be so much better. So to give you the scoop on what I saw in the hospital, the hospital was dead. There was nobody in there which is a good thing considering that you know, all over the world. Theyāre saying that hospitals are overflowing. So at least in that hospital is not bad. I canāt say cuz thatās a private hospital. I cannot say what has been going on in the public hospitals here. And so I saw one man whoās laid up on the couch. I think he was waiting for somebody else because I donāt think theyāre allowing people to go back with their family members, which is sad. He had a mask on he was asleep, laid out on the couch.

And
4:27
there was another woman in there. She was hysterical. I donāt know why she was hysterical because it kept telling me to hurry up and leave. I was I was at the end I was coming out and pain.
4:39
So my bill was about $100 or so.
4:43
The freaking gown they gave me was was expensive. Iām like I say for now. But yeah, hundred dollars in comparison to the United States. My bill will probably be at least $2,000 so Iām not even complaining. I do have my secondary insurance size. submitted that to them and I should get a reimbursement in four to six weeks because I take forever in a day, but I will be reimbursed hopefully. So yeah, that was my night on Saturday and yeah sorry nights easier like really packed inside the hospital so there was no one in there before that though, Mexico does not want people go into the hospital if youāre suspected to have Corona virus so I think I got the virus, although I guess people are theyāre claiming and walking around, youāre asymptomatic. So I called the phone number. And they picked up really quickly. They spoke English I think they also speak French for because thereās a lot of Haitians a lot of Canadians here. So you know the dudeās rattling off you know, the my feelings certain kind of way. Iām like, Nah, just my chest. My ad was banned. Heās like, Okay, well weāre not gonna say anyone out because we donāt think you have it. Same thing in the hospital didnāt get tested for the wellner

So yeah,
6:14
yeah, I guess Mexicoās Mexicoās on top of it to a certain extent, I suppose. can sleep last night like my throat? My throat was like, I guess thatās another symptom of my allergies. It just felt dry. And so if you look online, they have like a comparison chart between sometimes a word Rona and allergies. And like all the symptoms of allergies, I have none of the symptoms of Corona So yeah, I was just killing me, which is sad because like, I never had allergies like this, ever, ever, ever, ever in life.

7:03

7:07
so thatās that Iām trying to think anything else about me going to the hospital and the coronavirus hotline yeah I was in and out within less than an hour I didnāt spend much time in the hospital they got me in and out gave me my shot my ass paid to the X ray. Sheās like yeah, you should swap that you need to go see pulmonologist get this under control. Because if you donāt like you know the end.

Um,
7:41
so yeah, I guess Iāll be honest, still away, which I Iāve been trying not to be on these allergy pills in a steroid. Because itās an immunosuppressant. Itās gonna suppress my immune system, which means that Iām just gonna have to sit in the house for sure for sure. And not leave because Iām susceptible to catch anything like that. point that even just the Roman like the flu strap anything so whatever is floating around in the air so I havenāt really been outside much I did go out to emergency room before that I hadnāt been out since like Tuesday I think so they really been going outside Iām prepared for this because some outside person really anyways itās in house.

8:34
Iām in the house,
8:36
or thereās some kind of special event that I would like to go to that I find out about. Iām in the house. So the thing is, I know the ordinary for me, Iām update on Mexico. When the case is here for me, let me pull up my numbers give you all the accurate stuff. So on Friday see
9:00
Friday.
9:02
Friday, there was 848 confirmed cases today weāre up to 993 confirmed cases. So itās going about well, at one point, it was like 100 hundred a day. So I guess it was a good thing that didnāt go up 100 a day over the weekend. There were no deaths over the weekend. So thatās also good thing. But the case is going up slowly but surely. Things are closed down here. Iām still able to get deliveries. So you know, but I donāt know if I talked about it on my last video, the thing you know about a lot of these countries and why they canāt just shut down and I donāt know if youāve been paying attention to whatās going on in

They just shut the shit down overnight. And so people were stranded everywhere and itās just sick and fad. Thereās people that had to walk 200 kilometers and theyād like literally died because they walked so far and they couldnāt get out. They couldnāt, you know, get back to home. Countries canāt just shut down. This is This includes America, this includes America because people forget that people that drive Uber and Lyft and, you know, do your deliveries and stuff, theyāre paid

daily.
10:16
Theyāre paid daily, they donāt get, you know, they donāt get paid every week. They donāt get paid every two weeks. They donāt have a steady paycheck. Theyāre day laborers. And so, you know, thatās what runs a lot of peopleās lives being day laborers. And so Mexico doesnāt want to shut down because a lot of people are day laborers, for example, my housekeeper you know, she doesnāt work for me, she donāt get paid. You know, and she asked me to she was like, yo, so like, whatās going on? Youāre gonna fire me, you know, with this stuff going on. Or youāre gonna keep me around. I told Iām gonna keep around as long as possible because I know you know, your day labor and you canāt just thereās no other income coming in, you know, so So yeah, I have written here with a mask on gloves and some sunglasses or something. And, you know, to clean my apartment. But thatās, thatās the reality of a lot of peopleās lives on this earth. They are day laborers. And you know, if you shut something down, how are they going to get money to pay their rent to pay their bills? And how are they going to get money to eat? So, you know, these governments need to set up something to drop off food at the minimum at the minimum, and I havenāt heard

11:36
this is why you canāt just shut down countries, you know?
11:41
And

so thatās that on that topic.

12:46
itās been very stressful.
12:49
My anxiety is through the roof. You know, allergy medicine, asthma can help my my symptoms or my chest. Any help my anxiety, man. These panic attacks that I have. So Iāve been trying to, you know, be tanky Hello, Frankie Hello, as I say in Spanish and try to take it easy. Try to take it easy. Iāve been doing a ton of focus on work because I hadnāt been focusing on work for a couple of weeks now. You know, because when stuff popped off like I was just, I was just in shock. Again, Intel from people all over the country here in Mexico and in the states and is pretty bad in the States. One of my peeps who lives in New York, he told me that he knew someone and these people are young, but a lot of these people are having an underlying condition. You know, thatās Iām so scared for myself because I have asthma. And itās been activated this year. Like Iāve never had asthma like this before in my life, or allergies, for that matter. And so the woman he said it was around our age. Iām 33

she was sick on Friday. And she was no more on Monday. And so heās telling me that one of the last symptoms that people have is a metallic taste in their mouth, I guess, you know, thatās the blood coming up through their chest. Because theyāre saying this in mind disease, basically, youāre bleeding them inside your lungs, so
14:27
and heās telling me a lot of young people are dying,
14:29
but like I said, they have underlying conditions.
14:33
And the people are working for the government, like the bus, public transportation, in corrections, which is the prisons in the jails. So they havenāt been traveling, no international traveling. So I donāt I want to say itās airborne. You know what Iām saying? So thatās another reason why Iām in the house, but I guess if Iām turning on my AC, itās coming inside. Anyway, right from opening up. My Windows is coming going inside anyway, so Iām very weary of that.

a lot of people that have been dying have been older people of course with a course no mind conditions. I got Intel from my sister. I donāt even know if I should say it because Iām pretty sure itāll be on the news soon, but I donāt want to get in trouble with HIPAA. But is getting serious in Houston. Sheās telling me that sheās getting a lot of more cases, and theyāre dying. So I guess Houston will be another hot spot at this point. Because right now the hot spots are in California in New York.

People keep going out having parties. Oh my gosh, my craziest damn family this is why donāt fool with them because theyāre freaking degenerates. They had a sleepover party, so I suspect a couple of them will probably have it. But hey, God protects fools. So I donāt know. He surely protects fools. The way they talk about it, they donāt they donāt have no symptoms. But maāam, sir, maāam, sir. I mean, you have to catch it in order to have symptoms of youāre all out and about and youāre around people that got the shit. Like, thatās how you catch it. So I donāt know what to think of people. I mean, people at the beach party and and stuff. I have no idea. So, again, I want to keep it short, sweet and simple. Not going rambling. Thatās thatās the tea that I have the info The Intel that I have I do another video when I get more information or something goes on with me.
