Well, here is how it goes. The American oil company, COP, just hands money over to Colombians and says "We want oil" and the Colombians just produce it. It is not like anyone from America needs to go there and do any work or monitor anything.
I know a Colombian woman or two that you could hand money to right now, JJBee, and they will be producing you oil in no time.

I seriously doubt older mongers are going to make virus matters worse.

Posts: 5430A random thought just crossed my mind
Several people seem to think opening up Colombia for international travel will solve all of Colombia's economic problems. I'm trying to understand that.
Then this thought popped up: What are all those tourists supposed to do? Where are they going to spend their money? Let's put the mongering dollars aside, because it's unlikely the government is about to sanction and encourage sex tourism. What about the actual tourists? Aren't most attractions still closed? Aren't the bars closed? Malls? Tours? Theaters? Restaurants?
I'm just wondering how that almighty tourism is going to boost the economy if the tourists have no place to spend their money?

The idea that you stopping travel results in just loss of tourism dollars is ridiculous. Tickets and accommodations are probably half or less than half of what I spend when going to Colombia, but the other part of travel with Colombia is with business people investing in Colombia which is truly what it sorely needs. Maybe people invest without seeing things first but that certainly is not the case all the time.
The thing is that political leaders have asked for sacrifice under the guise that said sacrifice will pay off in lives saved. Well, has it? I don't see that banning international travel has accomplished anything for Colombia outside of airlines going broke and everyone in the industry losing their jobs.
The point is that politicians hate to admit they are wrong and IMO are slow to admit it. Banning international travel was not done based on evidence. Once you have a virus spreading domestically, what good does banning international travel do? It was just one of those things that was believed to work and other countries copied it but when the evidence shows traveling is safe, it is like you have to definitively prove that travel is safe even though it was never proven unsafe before.
For better or worse, America sets the agenda world wide, and our Covid "czar" is Anthony Fauci. Now, JJBee went off on this because it is Fox News and anytime Fauci screws up, apologists like JJBee say it is taken out of context. But forget the political angle and just look at this clip with your own eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdOSFbmyF_w.
Now I have a family relative in politics, and she wanted to take a trip to celebrate her anniversary and decided against it. I told her it was safe based on the data, but she said that she wanted to set a good community example and did not go.
So here is Fauci: maskless, in a public gathering, not social distancing, yucking it up. He is laughing with his friends and then says he was drinking water because he was "totally dehydrated". That is fucking bullshit, totally dehydrated people do not smile like that. He then shows real guilt when he scorns anyone criticizing him.
I.

My housekeeper was here yesterday, after another long silent period. She has similar communications challenges. She's moved and now must take 2 buses to arrive here. Never mentions taxi or Uber.. she just finds a way to get here, god bless her she is magnificent. Cleaned the apartment excellently as usual, without need for instruction or re-direction, for about 2.5 hours.. then rocked the Earth "en cama" for about 2 more hours.

Pinky asked when we could see each other, yesterday afternoon. She came over around 630p. I grilled some steaks, we had a bottle of wine. She wanted some tussi. Our contact wasn't responding, so she showed me some other contact on WhatsApp that sends out a list of maybe 50 things you can order. It was a bit expensive, compared to others. I received a message from a repeat the other day, asking when we'll see each other. I was with her once, a couple months ago. She's from La Diabla's list. I know she likes to party, so I asked her if she wanted to come over and bring some tussi. She gets it for 45k, which is about 60% of most options. I was a little nervous, as was Pinky, because of the price. It turned out to be fine, but with a bit of a burning sensation and a shitty peach scent / flavor.
I had told her not to come, because she said she would have it delivered, then she would bring it. I figured she would arrive at 12 and I didn't want to start so late. She arrived at 11 p. Standard procedure. She was fun and the girls hit it off. In total, I paid her 350k for 3 grams + her. Pinky also bought a gram, herself. She just left about an hour ago. Pinky also took 20k for a taxi, and her Uber was 15k, yesterday. Good times. Pinky without condom, other girl with.

With herd immunity, this is being achieved at approximately 20%. Most recent studies indicate that the burnout rate is between 15-20% before cases start dropping. This was the case in NY especially, and also in Sweden. In the coming days / weeks you'll see cases dropping in FL, TX, AZ, GA etc. And it will be due to this. The rest of the country will see the reductions in early September from my calculations, before it is basically a national burnout.

Epidemiology is a tough subject. I spent some time listening to colleagues who study epidemiology from the mathematical modelling standpoint, and I was astonished when I saw the number of parameters of the model ranging from 10 to 20, depending on the complexity and level of detail. ISG is not really the right venue where to discuss about such complex matters. It's a branch of math belonging to control theory, which is fascinating indeed.
70% is the most cited number for a so-called "herd immunity", assuming that such X% of persons is immune. Please note that X depends on how contagious is a disease: the more contagious it is, the higher is X. Last year, I read that for measles, which is way more contagious than COVID, the percentage of kids in schools that should be vaccinated, to protect those who cannot take a vaccine because of problems at their immune system, is above 90%.
Nobody knows for sure what is the threshold for "herd immunity" for COVID. You claim 40%? Or 70%? Whatever. One can speculate, but there are not enough empirical data. It is not even sure it may exist!
First of all, nobody knows what is the level of protection gained by those who recovered successfully out of COVID. Several people fell back, and nobody is sure if it was a new infection, or the same as before. Second, nobody knows how long such immunity lasts. Third, nobody knows for sure what is the real number of people in a region (even NY) who caught the virus and developed antibodies or some other type of "immunity". There are esteems, and all can be questioned.
Last but not least, it is true that the natural development of an epidemic shows a peak, but the reason why the count (be it of deaths, of sick, of positive, .) at some points starts to decrease is not necessarily that herd immunity has been reached. Otherwise, there should never be a "second wave" (Spanish Flu had 4 or 5? Such "second waves" do happen right because the first wave ended, but herd immunity is still far from being reached.
Herd immunity would be the only reason of going down after the peak only in a community with free circulation and no countermeasures, a huge pot where people freely mixes and randomly passes the virus. Fortunately, in most countries some people takes serious measures against infection, or mobility is limited.
Is herd immunity a target to aim at, at least for COVID? I would not say so, unless one would accept to see millions of deaths in a country with 300 millions of people potentially subject to be infected, not to mention the permanent effects left by the disease in some patients.

Colombia right now is in the "Oh Shit" zone with corona. I believe their current infection rate is the highest, per capita in the world. With everyone reporting that places like Botero Plaza are packed every day, it's easy to see why. Until they enforce a strict lockdown those numbers aren't going down. Until those numbers start going down, it's highly unlikely international flights will resume. Once they enforce a strict lockdown, and that will probably require the army and turn into a major shitshow, start your countdown.
