Madagascar

[Dick Milhous]

But if you don't have the cash,

If you have a few bucks and access to primary care to get meds, two things I presently do.

First, every time I go into under developed nations I have a good supply of Doxycycline 100 MG caps and take one a day, just like a vitamin. Doxy is cheap, very well tolerated and benign (often prescribed to teenagers to be taken for years to treat acne). Doxy is an effective anti malarial, is curative for chlamydia and has at least marginal efficacy against gonorrhea.

Second, I have a weeks worth pack of ivermectin, dexamethasone and montelukast. All three drugs have been around for a very long time and very well tolerated, very safe. Ivermectin in particular has several meta-analyses demonstrating excellent efficacy in treating the Wu-Flu. I start to feeling flu like or respiratory symptoms esp with a fever and I'm going to start popping ivermectin et al. Daily vitamin dee supplement also strongly suggested.

All of these drugs are generally very inexpensive; they all have been around for a half century or longer and all are off patent. I pay about $10 per Rx here at my local Sam's club pharmacy.

Recent studies show vaccinated people are as infectious as others. So to protect one's people it is necessary to demand PCR tests from tourists.

Vaccines aside, the issue is what happens if you do get sick -- from covid or whatever. The Pasteur Institute in Tana is a trip back to the 1930's. It's like a museum. For anything serious, you have to get to Reunion -- as fast as you can. And if a PCR negative test is required, well then, good luck. But if you don't have the cash, you just tough it out sick as a dog in your cheap shack hotel, shake it off and cure yourself of malaria, covid or whatever telling yourself you're Africa-experienced.

This from NPR, pro-vax MSM propaganda site: Importantly, Walensky noted that data from Israel suggests "increased risk of severe disease amongst those vaccinated early."

That is from the CDC Director, regarding data coming out of Israel. ADE anybody?

That's why a booster vac come soon, especially for those vaccinated early. Same as rabies, you need more than three within 4 weeks, a booster after 1 year.

[Dick Milhous]

I beg to disagree. The rest is BS.

Neddy,

I don't know where you are but perhaps because I am currently in Canada I see everything through western eyes and media. And there is a huge push on for vaccination and vaccine proof. And it will not be the airlines making these decisions, it will be countries, and many of them will follow whatever the west does blindly. Just because African countries have no traveler vaccine policy does not mean they won't adopt one in a month or a year from now. I don't know how this shitshow will all turn out but I hope it is going to get better sooner than later.

[Neddy69]

Sorry mate, but the way things are going, looks like you will die in Cuba. With the big push on for vaccination passports I don't see how you can avoid it.

I beg to disagree. The RT PCR Test will still be required. I don't know of a single African country which requires to be vaccined. RT PCR will still be required wherever you go. IMHO Airlines who let you you board only vaccinated shoot themselves in the foot like Quantas (I couldn't care less). Within the EEUU and US the vaccine facilitates travel WITHIN. Wouldn't make sense in most African countries where a couple of percent are actually vaccinated. And anyway vaccination doesn't change the contagion rates. So. Vaccination (might) protect you from a serious lung infection. Might. Wash your hands with mild soap and wear surgical mask while indoors in crowded places. The rest is BS. Malaria is way more a killer. that is if you don't know what you're doing. And traffic.

Who survived malaria, covid and scabies in the last 12 months.

5 $ for a can of beer. LE President would be swept from power tomorrow in Madagascar. LOL. Just recently he dismissed ALL ministers for non performance. He might not survive if he continues this idiotic policy of total isolation. The malgache in that regard have a rather short fuse. Same as in India. You can choose die of covid or hunger. Look at it this way. Loads of hotels are going bust or went bust. Loads of assets to snap up cheap. Don't worry Oiste you can live comfortably in most SSA African countries with 1000 $ pension a month. In Kenya you're Middle class. Sure Madagascar is probably best for cheap pussy. But. Decent housing for a good price is not so easy to come by. Residence Permit can be hard to obtain. And don't forget. Its an Island although a big one. Its not like Kenya where I can take the bus to Uganda or Rwanda.

Pussy? Its the least of all problems to find chicas for 10 $ a pop. Healthcare is another issue.

Neddy.

Hi Neddy,

Thanks for the reply. Surely I have the false idea that Madagascar is a relatively quiet place for those who, like me, don't go to night clubs / discos and things like that. Honestly, it is all of Africa that interests me (I was sexually weaned by a Nigerian when I was 18 years of age) but I am a lone traveler and after 15 years of quiet residence in Cuba, where security has been absolute up to now, fear holds me back a little. I never get noticed but Africa is Africa and it takes little to never go home. I had to choose would be Ghana, with those huge women that I adore, and a certain stability, but it has shocking prices. Looking at Airbnb I got a fever! So I stay focused on Mada, Nosy Be is sad but it's okay as a first step. But it depends on the opening of the borders and on the obligation or not of the covid vaccination. If it is compulsory it will mean that I will die in Cuba, at least there I am not bummed.

[Neddy69]

Oh sure, once.

Now it is a place that is gone and lost forever. Cubans are unique in the world but that world no longer exists. I tell you that I have been a permanent resident for 15 years. Aside from social destruction, the terrifying economic crisis (1 can of beer costs $ 5 if you are lucky to find it), political repression and black hunger, even Cubanites themselves are no longer the same. There is no longer that carefree air of a few years ago: people are hungry! Certainly you will find some **** but you will no longer pay 10 dollars as in the past because today, on the black market, a toothpaste costs 12 dollars. I don't know if I mean it. Madagascar has long been my constant thought, I committed last year not to leave in October and therefore now it is a problem. They say that maybe it will reopen soon but only for the vaccinated and I am not so demented as to be the Guinea pig for an alleged experimental gene cure. Give me the vaccination obligation and I will, at least I will receive compensation to pay the nurse if things go, and often go, badly. So I will grit my teeth and go back to Santiago for a couple of months and spend a little time with my daughter, then if the Mada reopens for me too. I go running there even with the monsoons. The Mada is an excellent opportunity for those like me, 60 years old and 1000 euros a month, without disco freaks and various parties, looking for a beautiful, cheap and relatively safe country.

Like it or not that is the way of the future (or at least the next year or 2 of it). You won't be going to many places if you refuse to get the jab. Of course you can always invest in fake documents, as some are already doing, but you may pay a steep price if caught. I am fully vaxed and welcome news of places that will open up for those of us who are.

[Oiste]

Oiste. Isn't Cuba an inexpensive pussy heaven with girls coming in all colors, sizes and types?

What is the reason you are willing to leave it all behind?
