Bogota Reports

[QUOTE=Knowledge;2436489]Same here in Medellin. This situation is a reminder it's important to have a collection of contacts at all times. I expect my phone to really light up after a couple of days. So far it's only been a little more than normal.[/QUOTE]My whatsapp already started sparking yesterday here in Medellin, the first real quarantine day, and has continued through today, probably 6 or 7 from my stable with some of them I have known for a few years already, YES they are already very worried about the future as in what today holds out.

Looks like my choice of whom I shall spend considerable time with during this quarantine has boiled down to a really super cute and fun 19 yo Venezuelan whom I have spent time with before. Sex is so so but a great easy person to live with and a real pleasure to just cuddle with on long lonely nights.

She is trying to dial up an uber right now to get to my home.

The Tall Man.

[QUOTE=Routard;2436422]Starting Tuesday, all boarders are closed, no more international flights for 30 days and the entire country enters in 19 days of full quarantine.[/QUOTE]The borders have been closed, and I was told by a very intelligent professional woman that the quarantine will be until April 15. I'm hoping that's correct, I had to cancel my April 8th trip and I am planning to reschedule it for April 16.

They are not going down. You can forget about April 16 buddy, unless you mean 2021. When April 16 comes, I want to see a post changing her description to a stupid biotch.

Colombia only really started the clock today, likely to be reset again on expiry " Inbound international commercial flights are suspended starting March 23 for 30 days".

I concur we will be waiting a while, for any of them to open. Maybe a rush of desperate mongers to whichever cracks first.

Legitimate fears or just wanting to get out? Probably some of both: [URL]https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/03/colombia-coronavirus-23-killed-prison-riot-200323104057561.html[/URL].

[QUOTE=KangarooTed;2436950]Thought they banned Uber?[/QUOTE]It is open again now.

Colombia has less than 10,000 ventilators (the USA Has 200,000) although scientists there are working on a cheap prototype: [URL]https://colombiareports.com/colombia-close-to-having-worlds-first-open-source-and-low-cost-ventilator-to-beat-covid-19/[/URL].

Before NYC was worst in the USA, I figured it would be given the population density and climate. Bogota has a similar issue to NYC given the climate and population density. It will be interesting to see if the altitude has any effect on the virus. Right now, Lima is pretty warm but in three months or so, I think Lima is going to be the perfect petri dish for the virus.

Given the lack of ventilator capacity, I understand the crazy snap judgments made. Peru though was nuts: the borders instantly shut it down with no warning at all stranding foreigners.

Other part that is interesting to me is if we will see the warm and humid parts of the country escape the effects now that travel has been banned. Someone died in Cartagena, a taxi driver, after being exposed to someone who was infected from Italy. If the virus is as temperature and humidity dependent as expected, we should see a lot of new cases in Bogota, a moderate amount in Medellin, and very few in Cartagena and Barranquilla. It will be interesting to see if Cartagena and Barranquilla escape this virus threat unscathed.

I hate to watch in the sense that there are people going to be sick and dying, but I think given the extreme variations in climate, Colombia is going to be one of the most interesting places to watch with regards to the virus and how it spreads.

Hey fellas,

I wanted you guys opinion so lately I've been paying girls my price meaning I would agree to there crazy price but after I hit I just pay her my standard 50 k. Guys I'm tired of being cheated. Think about it the Colombian men don't have to pay that crazy price of 200 k+ so why should I anyway, I'm just resetting the market I guess. Am I wrong for doing this? If so why.

If you do, yes it is completely wrong and you know why. Any time two parties agree on price and the seller delivers the goods the buyer must pay the agreed price. Totally doesn't matter what's being sold. Once agreed a deal is a deal. And what you are doing is flat out dishonest and deceitful. I see no room for debate personally.

There is no scientific evidence that climate has an affect on the virus. MERS that is in the family of coronavirus started in the Middle East. It's hot as fuck there. So don't count on it.

[QUOTE=KangarooTed;2434719]Perhaps the rebound will present some favorable options.

I had the offer today to reschedule my flights, or take a refund. Went for the refund. I imagine the flight deals will be spectacular to entice travel once the bans are lifted. The airlines will be desperately trying to rebuild revenues and expedite the timeframe.[/QUOTE]Exactly this; I just picked up a DeltaOne seat in September direct flight from ATL for $700.

The reason the US is showing the most cases is because of all the available testing. Many developing countries don't have access to that amount of testing, so they show lower numbers. The fact is the virus is everywhere now like any other virus, not just the US, China, and some European countries. Since over 90% of people that catch this have mild to no symptoms, it's impossible to have a correct count. I've had a cough for the past two weeks. Does that mean I caught the virus? Who knows, but it's going away. The virus will spread fast through any city around the world because of population density. It doesn't matter if its NYC, Bogota, or Timbuktu. I just read that Colombia is considering extending the lock-down by another three months, and I'm not surprised. Eventually, like the flu, a vaccine will be developed, but it's going to be a while.
