Approval for an APEC card takes about 6 months and requires vetting by 20 countries. I'm sure if you had gone through it you would know!! I do have a travel exemption already (for business), but you're right about the cost / reward analysis, for now. Other travel I have done didn't require me going into quarantine but only because of tightly controlled environments related to those trips. Certainly not the case for going pussy hunting! .

Sigh.

I was referring to the acceptance of the APEC visa as a valid entry in the current climate (while neither confirming or denying that I have one.).

The best sight you can have in a crowded NAIA arrivals hall is the empty APEC channel.

Maybe I've got an APEC also but haven't asked my immi agent. I will send off an enquiry on Monday. Also consider the limited flights back or a J fare. So assuming you can get a waive to the Australian exit ban, then the J fare back to Au plus the cost of 2 weeks quarantine it's not a sensible business proposition for pussy. Have to adapt to our local environment.

I wonder if that might apply to me then (not that Australia allows us out at the moment.). I have an APEC card, so don't actually need a visa of any kind to travel to Philippines (and most of the rest of Asia). Anybody know?

He could have stayed.

He could be on one of the allowed visas, business, diplomatic SIRV, spousal.

Well. Britain approved a vaccine because Gavin Williamson says it is a better country. Since better people from the better country will soon be able to benefit from a vaccine developed by Turkish immigrants and rebel colonists and be able to have a vaccine certificate to allow the better vaccinated people to fly on an airline founded by convict descendants to the land of better pussies. So get in line quickly.

I am getting totally drained by all the parched pussies.

The better country proud boys would be happy to see their grandparents being vaccined number one and two in England and their Northern Ireland sister was number one.

Think PI most likely get first proud boy visitors from either the colonist or thebetter country. The US is keeping all vaccine production within its borders. For now.

The speed difference was that the authorities in the UK were taking in data as it became available. In the US the final approval authority wanted to wait until all data was available before starting. This why the FDA (or whoever is approval authority),is not meeting on this for another couple of days.

Personally I am thinking that the Oxford vaccine will be the one here. The logistics of maintaining the cold chain on it are a lot easier for a place like the Philippines.

IMHO, I am surprised by both the US action and the UK action. The raw data is not available on all the vaccines. Hence hard for an independent peer analysis. Think Boeing 737 MAX whereby FAA allowed Boeing to do some FAA certification.

The interesting thing is that the cold storage chain for Pfizer / BioNTech is supposedly still being worked out, according to the news. I find that hard to believe as many, including Bill Gates and the organizations they work with, have been looking at this for some time.

Sputnik and Sinovac do not need such very cold storage. Also Sinovac is going to have more local production as with Brazil.

Even the ice cream I eat sometimes are not maintained in a proper cold storage chain.

Oh. The US Anthony Fauci originally had choice words by comparing the better country's hasty approval to someone taking a short cut in a marathon. Whatever the reason, the more people getting vaccinated the sooner the better country will get to their original planoc herd immunity.

Hopefully, PI will benefit and things will recover.

Are others getting very slow download speeds, page updates and even timeout errors from ISG lately? I don't get these with other web pages.

I'm in Sydney, but haven't had any problems. Sometimes photos can be a bit slow, but usually only the first one if there is a batch of them.

Yes same here on ISG. NL pictures often doesn't show, strange.

Yes. I don't have pic problems on this site. But for some time now (few weeks), page updates / refresh, clicking a new link, results in slow updates to the point of timeouts. In addition, the daily database error: "Nightly backup / 4:30-5 am UTC, please try again", I get that about 4-6 pm most days. But about once a week I get it multiple times per day. An example from today in the pics, I got the error message at 5 am and 10 am today (and will probably see it again around 4-6 pm this afternoon).

Yep. (filler for ten character minimum. Sigh).

I'm also in Old and I will often get page load problems. Sometimes I just go to internationalsexguide. NL which takes out one layer of web stuff.
