My point is that mongering is cheaper and is now cheaper than ever in Colombia.

Posts: 1524President Duque has ordered preventive isolation at airports and other entrances to the country for people coming from China, Italy, Spain and France, this in order to prevent the expansion of the coronavirus in Colombia.
The USA hasn't been targeted as of yet, but if the infection rate continues to increase, gringos might be affected.

Posts: 107Chase
I went to a local Chase bank out here in FL and you can order Colombian Pesos. I was hoping I'd get something close to the exchange but no can do. $9 US dollars yielded me 300,000 pesos. Does anyone have an idea of a way of getting pesos at the current rate while living in the US? I'll be in Medellin in 5 weeks and who knows what the rate will be then. Any useful insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

So your point is what? To guess at the exchange rate? To say they are not real?
This currency move was not in a vacuum. The stock of Petrobras, the big Brazilian oil company, was down 31%. For American mongers, the price of SA pussy just went way down. It is your loss if you do not believe it.

Posts: 165I like the details, thanks!
Regarding #1, I think the fact that you can reduce the risk is control. People who cannot leave have less control, you have more control.
Thanks for the examples regarding the supply chains and healthcare. Your points make sense to me.

The virus has appeared to peak in South Korea: https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/09/a...hnk/index.html.
Here are the totals in S. Korea.
March 8: 367 new S. Korea corona cases.
March 7: 448.
March 6: 516.
March 4: 760.
March 3: 851.
I am not trying to downplay how serious COV is, but I am just saying that with the media blasting how huge COV is, there is some possible light at the end of the tunnel.
If you look at the pandemic of 1918, the second and much more deadly wave started in the fall when temperatures got cooler, https://www.history.com/news/spanish...ave-resurgence.
This supports the notion that COV may not spread as well in warm weather places. Again, it is an alternative view that I heard that I am sharing with the forum. I am not saying it is right, but it is a theory that is out there.
FWIW, I had a family member die of the Spanish flu in 1918 so I know how devastating this virus could potentially be.
