Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2478259]Still think you are going to Colombia in Sept, huh?[/QUOTE]Of course he does!

[QUOTE=Blakman;2478242]Duque on Saturday tried to compare fatality rates with those of countries where the disease peaked weeks earlier, but was interrupted by Health Minister Fernando Ruiz who said such a comparison made no sense.

According to international data, Colombia had the highest number of deaths per million inhabitants over the past week, a little more than neighboring Peru, which registered a higher number of infections per million over the past week.

A week before the end of the president's national emergency, the virus reached a new record number of 400 daily deaths on Sunday amid what has been projected as the peak of the pandemic.

Not counting untested fatalities, 17,314 have died of the pandemic on Sunday and 541,147 people, more than 1% of the population, has been infected by the coronavirus.

Duque's attempts to restart the economy against the advice to first control the spread of the virus is showing serious cracks despite the government's barrage of false positives.

As more doctors and nurses fall ill, the country's healthcare system is close to collapsing under the weight of the pandemic as the president's promised funds to reinforce the system never arrived.[/QUOTE]Your post was entitled "No Interest In Colombia After Such Relevation", so what are you saying here? You've stated some facts, do you have some conclusions to draw from them or have you just written Colombia off based on them.

Or perhaps your skeptical of what's to come COVID wise given the planned re-start of the economy over the coming months. At least I am in this regards.

[/QUOTE]Yes. Going to Colombia is putting yourself in danger. There are many strains of SARS-COV-2, and its reasonable to speculate that Colombia has a deadlier strain without the resources to treat people. Give the country a wide berth until an effective vaccine is available or the virus becomes less deadly (as it should over time).

Sly One said in Lima that private hospitals were charging $10,000 for admission and like a $1000 per tank of oxygen. Anybody in Colombia heard of that kind of price gouging going on?

[QUOTE=SJobs;2478288]Well, yes, according to the mayor of Medellin ([URL]https://twitter.com/QuinteroCalle/status/1298305875250155520[/URL]). I'm keeping my hopes up. Duque can still block it, but there is a very good chance heaven will open its door in a week.[/QUOTE]Lots of luck bro. Keep buying tickets. Sooner or later you're bound to get lucky.

I think it's relative to where one would stay as an alternative to Colombia. Following your logic, the United States does not seem a leading safety alternative. As I've stated before, what one does can be as consequential as where one does it.

One can't monger and practice social distancing at the same time.

Not to mention if it even occurs of the disinfecting and sanitation of the rooms between clients.

Quite frankly I'm surprised that we haven't heard yet about a Love Motel in El Centro being shutdown for a while because an employee became infected.

Maybe it's already happened in the guise of a Hotel closing.

From the official website of the city of Cali:

"The National Government has declared that, in the second or third week of September 2020, "the Cali airport" would be chosen to begin the operation of international flights in Colombia. The first destinations would be the US, Panama, Peru, and Ecuador. ".

Just passing some info I just saw, use it as you will.

[QUOTE=Paulie97;2478326]Lots of luck bro. Keep buying tickets. Sooner or later you're bound to get lucky.[/QUOTE]Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. If my 9/10th ticket gets canceled again, I will immediately buy the next available one. I firmly believe in one way or another, I will get myself back in within the next 30 days. Once I'm there, I will never leave Medellin until covid is completely over.

It sure would suck to end up needing breathing support down there. And in the small chance you end up there, noone is lifeflighting your covid ass back. To me that would pose a far greater threat than any criminal elements I had considered previously.

Crikey, maybe I've died from coronavirus and I just don't realize it. Pollo, Slapshot, does this mean we died and went to heaven?
