Oso planning to go pro
We usually vacation in Jamaica in February but passed on that this year mainly because of the constantly changing restrictions. For months now JA has required all travelers to upload a negative PCR test dated less than 10 days before arrival, doable but could be a PITA. Now Canada (and it's rumored soon to be followed by the US) requires that you submit a negative PCR test less than 3 days before arrival back in CA meaning that you will have to get tested in the country you travel to. In JA you have to either go to Mobay or Kingston for a PCR test costing about $200 US. Canada has stated that if you aren't tested before checking in you will have to reschedule your flight until you have a negative test. If there are no tests available where you traveled to you must quarantine at a Gov't. approved location for 14 days upon return.
Well, if you're going to be stranded...
Some of those AI resorts are pretty costly, having to extend a stay can add up pretty quickly.
No kidding. I was looking at a trip to one of the Sandals resorts Hedonism and when the price quote came up I thought it was really pricey, but doable for two people. Then I realized it was the price per person....
Spelling error.

Do you stay on the resort the entire time you are there or do you venture out? Some areas are pretty rough with the beggars and the hustlers.
Good catch! Damn spell-check is always messing up my posts....
Just be sure to use incognito. Dont want to ruin the wife's surprise gift.

And a year later, the WHO investigators finally get into Wuhan and are already encountering obstacles. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/01/14/world/covid19-coronavirus#a-who-team-is-in-china-to-investigate-the-virus-its-already-meeting-obstaclesI don't agree with POTUS' use of the term 'China virus' to advance a political narrative, and whatever the Chinese did certainly doesn't excuse the US' haphazard national 'response' to the pandemic, but the Chinese are worthy of harsh criticism for the secrecy surrounding the pandemic's origin.
Interesting piece (incredibly long) in the new Yorker a couple weeks back about the increasing likelihood that it was an unintentional leak out of the wuhan lab that started this whole thing as well. What was widely considered and condemned as conspiracy talk just a few kk the ago is now the “Vegas favorite” as actually being the truth. Why do you mean by political narrative? How is naming it the Chinese virus any different then calling a virus that originated near the Ebola river, the Ebola virus?
He is trying to deflect blame for the Administration's failure onto China. Why do you think he is the one world leader calling it the China virus, while all the other world leaders and scientific experts are calling it the 'novel coronavirus' for 'SARS-Cov2'? Do you think he's going to call the new strain discovered in the US the 'America virus'? If not, why not?
I mean he called it the Chinese virus from day 1,
I mean he called it the Chinese virus from day 1, long before we knew if the administration was going to handle things terribly or not but I see and understand your and GE’s point. Are we not on this very board calling the Ohio strain, THE “Ohio strain”?
It is a new strain, so yes we are calling it the Ohio strain.But that doesn't answer my question: Do you think Trump will call it the 'America virus'? Or the 'America strain'? Or the 'Ohio strain'? If not, why not?
He's also an idiot.
