Plastic bag ban stalls in Chihuahua, a casualty of the pandemic
This is a news story from El Paso Matters. This story is about Mexico's environmental issues that have risen due to COVID. In August 2019, Chihuahua became the latest state to ban single-use plastic bags. This changed with COVID, when household and medical waste rose to 80,000 tons per day. Fines for violating Chihuahua’s plastic bag ban range from 2,000 Mexican pesos ($97) to 250,000 pesos ($12,200). But authorities have refrained from enforcing it, noting that single-use items were necessary to meet coronavirus safety requirements. The pandemic’s negative impact on the economy and available workforce also presented obstacles, says Gilberto Wenglas Lara, director of ecology at the Ministry of Urban Development and Ecology. -

North Carolina Quarantine
In North Carolina, I am located 10 miles away from Raleigh. Wake County has closed all non-essential businesses, until April 17th. This is a huge loss in Raleigh's economy, let alone the world's. Raleigh is the hub for business personnel, dine-in cuisine, and leisure fun. 71/100 counties in North Carolina have at least one case of COVID-19. My county, Wake County, has over 134 reported cases. This is extremely scary, as we are such a small county, and people in fast food are still expected to work since they are considered "essential". It is a scary time for all of us, and especially those who are autoimmune compromised. Our Governor, Roy Cooper, has mandated a stay at home order for all who live in North Carolina. However, there is a lot of issues of people still going to the beaches on the coast and not social distancing. North Carolina police have begun to find people who are seen in groups larger than 5. It is to ensure that the virus does not spread to others, and keep the stay in home order a necessity. There is a bar graph to indicate the reported cases in North Carolina attached, and it was posted by David Raynor Source: NC DHHS and county health departments.
