This must have cost Mexico quite a bid of money, with so many businesses shut down and tourism stopped.

It's still costing money. Although restrictions have been lifted, many restaurants still operate at about half their capacity. Many ahve removed around half the tables, to create more space between customers, and haven't replaced them yet. Plus people are shying away from crowded places.

Stadiums are open, but most won't admit more than half the max number of spectators. One soccer team even stated it won't admit more than 35% of capacity until further notice. One exception is a tem in Monterrey in the north of the country, because season-ticket holders already number 62% of capacity.

One of the local high schools around here had been planning a trip to Mexico for almost a year, but canceled the trip because of this; instead they are going to Costa Rica.

I hear it's nice. But that rain forest (i.e. jungle) is chock full of animals carrying god knows what new diseases :dough:
