At the time Colombia instituted the travel ban, I said 2 things. I said that it freed up resources they could better use elsewhere. I also said that the government of Colombia was going to do what the government of Colombia chose to do and no matter how many temper tantrums you throw, it's not going to change anything.
One thing I did not say is that the travel ban would stop the spread of COVID-19. Why? Because the virus was already spreading in the country and there are a lot more people living in Colombia than are visiting Colombia.
At least 5 times I've told you that the lockdowns in Colombia were mostly ignored. At least 10 members, who were in Medellin at the time reported the same thing. However, apparently you believe that when the government of Colombia speaks, it's like E. F. Hutton. Everyone drops everything and does exactly what they say. I've got a bit of eye-opening information for you sunshine. It doesn't work like that. Up in the estrato 1 and 2 barrios everyone fills the streets and gripes about the rules. You think 2 Cops are riding up into Manrique to tell everyone to stay home? If they did someone would have a new green motorcycle and 2 cops would disappear.
Every night, all summer long they sat up there packing the streets and passing the bottle. And you can just about guarantee there weren't many gringos invited. Meanwhile you're declaring that lockdowns are ineffective (in Peru and Colombia, but are effective in New York. You say masks do no good and masks help stop the spread. You repeatedly said it's no worse than the flu. You predicted all travel would open up in July. You made fun of reports that the US death toll could exceed 80,000, 100,000, 200,000 and 400,000 and belittled anyone making those statements. Then you claimed a new variant in Peru was responsible even though no new variant has been discovered exclusive to Peru.
You jumped on every conspiracy theory like a kangaroo in heat. You told us it was fake and would go away after the election. You questioned if anyone died from Covid.
And you have the audacity to call me stupid. Come on brainiac. We'll set up independent aptitude testing with an impartial panel of judges and get a licensed professional to do the testing. If I remember correctly it takes about an hour.
Here's another chance to win $1000 of my money. All you have to do is score higher than me. Or should I start calling you scared Elvis?

If you did not want to agree with me and say Colombia listened to the medical advisers and "scientists" and implemented the travel ban and was wrong but succumbed to political pressure then fine. To say the travel ban was the right move now which JJBirbrain and Paulie the arrogant one are saying is absolutely bird brained. To stick with that POV now just shows how stupid they are.
And Gene are you right about the vaccine passport and saying that it should be known whether you can transmit the virus after getting the vaccine, but you are not politically correct. If people really understood how good the vaccine was, there would be even more pressure on the government to deliver it than there is now. I agree with you but your POV is not politically correct.

You're a hypocrite and if you took a look in the mirror that's what you would see.

I think anyone claiming they went to MDE for any length of time and everything went perfectly is probably lying. We each monger with differing levels of risk tolerance and experimentation. I have long said this board is better when we share not just our positive but also our negative experiences as that's how you can be more knowlegable and avoid scams, criminals, tough situations, tough spaces etc.
Covid has made liars out of many people as it was an evolving and hitherto unknown pandemic. Its is absolutely justifiable to make rules based on the info available at the time and change according to the circumstances and evidence. That what the medial community has done.
To me it is utterly foolish that they don't allow people to travel with vaccine passports. Its incomprehensible that a couple of months into this vaccine roll out they don't have data about the true carrier status of individuals who have been vaccinated. They just don't have the will or desire to do that right now. So Elvis makes many valid points but he makes them in a manner that is difficult to agree with him, as this disease has much qualifiers and nuance. Politically, I think both sides have messed up, and as with most things we are such a polarized country that it makes sensible policy hard to achieve. IMHO 1) if you got vaccinated you can travel freely 2) everyone mask distance and sanitize out in public 3) all but large congregations over 10 disallowed
4) vaccinate as quickly as possible 5) ignore the variants for now and work on an update for 2021 6) let the economy open up fully within those parameters otherwise 6) focus the deficit spending on those that really need it.
So many opportunities missed.
Anyway, this is a mongering board, and covid should not be the topic. Unless it has to do with how you can get it while banging the chica. Its probably a higher risk than the usual STDs right now.
