I say a lot of very ridiculous things on this site but wow, this discussion of bribing an immigration agent to get into Colombia is about as silly as it gets. The chance of even reaching a border which you are not authorized to cross is slim.
[QUOTE=JjBee62;2466036]I would add that attempting a bribe at the airport, at this time, might be a long shot anyway.
When they're letting everyone in and you're trying to get them to overlook something, the agent at the kiosk probably has the authority to make the call.
However, if nobody is allowed in, I doubt if the guy directing everyone to the isolation area, where they have to wait until the next outbound flight, has the authority to let one guy in. It would be rather obvious.
You've (SJobs) got the money to try another approach. Figure out what you need to either set up a co-location office for your company in Medellin, or to buy a party penthouse in Medellin. Either one and you can qualify for visa which after 5 years you can turn into a resident visa.
Once you've got your plan on paper, go to a Colombian Consulate. Explain why you need a special travel permit (without mentioning 18 year old pussy) and mention you understand you'll probably have to pay extra for the permit, pay for extra testing and quarantine.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=JohnGault;2466037]Yes there are a lot of cases in the USA. The problem is that the USA does a lot more testing then most other countrys so of course there is more cases I think what is most important is the number of deaths. Then again even that is not that great of a way to figure out what is really going on as there have been reports of false claims concerning deaths due to financial concerns.[/QUOTE]I'm going to disagree on these 2 points.
If testing was 100% random you would need to test roughly 30% of the population before you could have an increase in number of positive results due solely to the number of tests. Even then, the increase would be small.
Start with a control group of 100.33 are infected. For every 3 tests, you should average one positive. These are all completely random. As your pool of untested shrinks, sometimes you're finding more than 1 of every 3, sometimes less. So once you've got about a third tested, you've established a reasonable idea of what more tests will show. Assuming no new infections. Whether you test 15 or all 100 you'll get about the same answer.
However, testing isn't completely random. First priority, people with symptoms. Now let's go back to the 100.18 have symptoms, they get tested and with 18 tests you've found 18 of the 33.7 others have symptoms, but are negative. With 25 tests, you have 18 positive results, indicating 72 infected people. Another 15 get tested, because they've been around someone who was infected. You get 7 more positive results. Now you've identified 25 positive results with 40 tests, still giving you a potential 72 (72.5) infected people. Add in more testing and the numbers keep dropping, until, after 100 tests, you find only 33.
Testing more people, won't find more cases, unless there are more cases to be found.
As for the financial incentive, can someone please show me the money? I understand there have been claims that there's extra financial compensation for hospitals who are willing to claim every death is COVID-19, but I haven't seen anyone showing the money. If someone is paying huge bounties for falsifying death certificates, it should show up somewhere. And I say huge, because what happens when someone proves their family member didn't die from COVID-19? Not only is there a significant payout, but it opens the floodgates. Every COVID-19 death becomes a potential million dollar settlement. That's an enormous risk.
Where does the money come from? Of course the easily debunked conspiracy theory is that Medicare and Medicaid are paying it. There are 2 significant problems with that source. First, those payments would only apply to people who are on Medicare it Medicaid. It would be rather suspicious if every person on Medicare suddenly started dying from COVID-19.
The other, more significant problem is that means Trump's own people are, apparently with Trump's approval, spending money in order to make Trump look bad. I have trouble believing that.
Now to the debunking.
Back when COVID-19 started causing problems, the Kaiser Family Foundation was asked to estimate the cost of the disease. They went back through Medicare records to determine the average cost for treatment of diseases requiring similar treatment. What was the final bill? How much for ICU? How much for a ventilator? Then they published their findings.
On April 8, on the Fox News show "The Ingraham Angle", Sen. Scott Jensen (R-MN) was interviewed and made the claim of extra payments, using the KFF numbers. However, those aren't extra payments. Those are the estimated costs.
In addition, Medicare doesn't pay hospitals extra for deaths. "Patient didn't survive? Here's another $10,000 for your trouble. "
The number of positive cases can't double from increased random testing, unless the number of positive people has also doubled. The number of deaths is not because the Trump administration is trying to make the Trump administration look bad.

[QUOTE=SlapShot10;2466132]So, any info on the lockdown? Will it be back to pico y cedula? Should I stock-up on groceries, today?[/QUOTE]One of my chicas goes to school in Medellin but lives in another part of Antioquia. Where she is, there has been a shutdown of all nonessential business until July 31 and a restriction on all nonessential movement. I do not know if that covers all of Antioquia. She told me that there has been an outbreak of Corona (I think she may have been hit by the virus herself) and there are no hospital beds open in her area.
Whether this covers Medellin, I do not know. I am just passing it along.
Now she just said the president extended the lockdown until July 31.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;2466091]Technically speaking what your proposing is possible but might require a different approach to get him back to Medellin, I believe SJobs could obtain a resident's visa while in the United States which would probably allow him to enter the Country, however it would be complicated to do from the USA, and might take several months. He would not have to wait five years to obtain residency but would receive it immediately upon issuance, however he would need to make an investment, such as buying a Penthouse, it has to be at least 650 times the Colombian minimum wage to qualify or approximately $ 160,000 USD. He would also need to get this money into the Country, which is not a simple procedure as the money would need to be transferred thru a third party and documented with the Colombian government to obtain the residency permit. He would also need a Colombian attorney to prepare all the paperwork and also act as an escrow company for the real estate transaction as they don't exist in Colombia. The only glitch might be obtaining the Cedula, I don't know if Colombian embassy's issue those in the USA, as there is a requirement that it is obtained within a few weeks of obtaining the residency permit and is processed in Bogota.[/QUOTE]You have to get the cedula in Colombia, which can be done at any immigration office. Visas, other than extending the tourist visa require a trip to Bogota unless you get them at a Consulate.
Naturally, he's going to need to make the connections, bring in the lawyers and provide the money.
As far as the visas go, there are 2 distinct classes and several different types. The classes are Temporary and Permanent. To get a Permanent visa you have to hold a Temporary visa, without any breaks of more than 6 months for a period of 5 years. There might be some types of visa which only require 3 years. A permanent visa gives you the option of applying for citizenship. At least that's what I picked up when I was researching all of this.
A Temporary resident visa wouldn't qualify him for a repatriation flight, hence he would need to finagle a special travel permit. Most problems of this type can be overcome if you're willing to spend the money, and you have enough.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;2466036]Getting a 1 year visa and renewing it every year eliminates the risk you'll exceed your 180 day annual limit and be denied entry.
[/QUOTE]The 180 day limit is mostly due to income tax. I would not stay at any countries for more than 180 days if I don't want to pay income tax in two countries with residency or not.
US citizens pay income tax regardless where they live. The only way to avoid paying is to stay out of US the whole tax year then you get some exemption and it depends on the source of income.

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2465964] it's a political show based on nothing more than test result projections.[/QUOTE]I see that the number of deaths reported by Medellin Guru has increased many folds from just a couple of months ago and it is accelerating.
One way to look at it is that the government is guessing the future. Things probably won't change until the numbers gets better.

Always check Medellin gurus's sources. In the case I don't doubt it but it is a marketing web site that heavily motivated by revenue generation.

And to obtain the Cedula, your Passport needs to be sent to Bogota to obtain the Visa that they paste into your Passport (and you don't need to appear in person to do this), and with the visa than in your Passport you can obtain a Cedula at any immigration office.
As far as buying real estate in Colombia it's tricky, kind of like the wild west with no escrow or title companies, and lots of gringos get burned and duped in the process.

Lots of gringos living in Medellin don't file as they should, and the Colombian IRS which is DIAN are getting more sophisticated, and will eventually catch up to them with possible fines and non-renewal of their visas.

[QUOTE=Steve9696;2466094]Not sure what the border immigration situation is but the FKK clubs In Switzerland are open now. Not Medellin prices at a heart stopping USD $140/ half hour. But guaranteed slim pretty girls with guaranteed service including DFK and BBBJ.[/QUOTE]Man,
I miss the globe so much. I had so many amazing times there; in my opinion, the girls in the globe is hotter than Medellin. The cost there can reach ridiculous level, depending on how you like to party. Every girl will offer you coke for 100 dollars per gram, CIM is another 100, lesbian show is another 100 dollars. Two girls with a bit of coke, doing lesbian show and cum swapping for one hour ran my bill to 1100 dollars once. Probably the most I have ever paid for one hour, but that is still cheap compared the price I have been quoted in San Francisco for similar level of girls.
In Medellin, for 1100 dollars, I can get four 18 year olds to party for 2 full days in a penthouse with a jacuzzi over looking the beautiful landscape of Antioquia. If I absolutely cannot go back to Medellin, I will just hop over to Canada and fly to Zürich from there.
