I thought that was what you said the new rule is? " Starting December 6, all air passengers, regardless of vaccination status, must show a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 1 day before travel to the United States. ". ".

He means why don't you have to do any testing if you are on a plane domestically in the USA.

why isn't everyone who gets on a flight, regardless of origin, required to have the test.

I understand you said it's just your idea, but if that were the reason, why isn't everyone who gets on a flight, regardless of origin, required to have the test. It's the same risk.

LOL. You think Brandon knows the answer to that? It is going to be 3 more years of shit not making sense.

I think it is bcos when you cross a border by air you are a risk to fellow passengers in the airport, taxies, buses, plane, restaurants etc. But when you cross a border in your own car, you are a risk to no one. The idea is to lower the risk of infection to fellow passengers. I could be wrong of course, just my idea.

I am trying to fill the check mig form. When I select origin, no option to select USA. Any idea?

Also what happens if I don't fill this. Would there be any issue in boarding? Or extra time at BOG airport?

Look for the Spanish version of "United States", which is "Estados Unidos".

I think it depends on the airline if you would have an issue boarding, but almost assuredly you will have an issue going through immigration in Colombia.

From the CDC website:

"Travel Requirements have changed. Starting December 6, all air passengers, regardless of vaccination status, must show a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 1 day before travel to the United States. ".

They don't specify if it is 24 hours before travel, or anytime during the day before travel. Hopefully, it is like the prior 3-day requirement when it was anytime during the previous 3 days, not 72 hours.

Biden advisors just trying to exert more control over the people. Here is what he read from his teleprompter "We're going to fight this variant with science and speed, not chaos and confusion". That is a bunch of BS. Why is he not requiring tests of people crossing the Southern border?

I can think of a few reasons.

1. Commercial traffic. Many of those trucks cross the border several times each day. The delays would grind commercial transport to a halt.

2. Many of the people crossing, cross daily, for work, shopping or other business. At busy border crossings it's unlikely enough testing capacity is available.

3. Incubation period. There's a delay between exposure and when a person will test positive. With a high percentage of land border crossings by people who have been out of the country less than a day, testing wouldn't be very effective.

Curious why you're only concerned about the southern border? There's a northern border as well and a lot of people are crossing it every day.

It's because the list is translated from Spanish. Look for United States in the "E's", for Estados Unidos.

Might be a good idea to have an N95 mask when transiting airports anywhere. As I was leaving Cali one huge douche checking passports / boarding passes decided he was a mask expert and would not allow me to go on to immigration. Mine was black and looked quite similar to others. I had to go to the pharmacy to buy a POS paper mask that was not N95, which did not even survive the plane ride before the string broke.

Does anyone know where I can get a PCR test for Covid in Cartagena? The US gov't list has dead links, some live, but their websites don't list Cartagena. Thanks in advance.

Speaking as someone with experience in both countries I have bad news- you will find it a real challenge to get anything beyond an uncovered blowjob in Colombia. Some cities are worse than others- steer clear of Bogota. A fellow ISG monger had pretty good luck getting BBFS this past summer in Medellin, but it was mostly with SA girls that often flaked or otherwise required an inordinate amount of BS and wasted time. There really is nothing like AC for getting that hot raw, CIP. Thailand is much much better than South America, but doesn't quite match. The Medellin thread is full of Medellin lovers who will talk it up big time, but they generally like fat ass girls or just have never been to SEA and have no means of comparison.

Thanks for that post. Hopefully it will discourage some of the SEA mongers from going to Medellin.

I just took a PCR, and does anyone know if the antigen is sufficient to return?

An antigen test is sufficient to return to the US.
