they want all the tourists to be fully vaccinated but they can't even get Covid under control in their own population. You go in ‘clean’ but come back with Covid positive, it’s your own fault, do they really care?

US announced they will open up on 1 Nov and Australia plans to open up border before Christmas.

For these countries they are sitting between the devil and the deep blue sea. They need tourist dollars to survive..

They realised that Delta is so powerful, might as well give up, so they are doing this.

if that’s the case, Covid will be spread everywhere and people must wear face masks for decades.

If we need to wear a face mask for decades, which means we have lost the fight against Covid-19...

They open up but you can don't go. Just like we open up but not many may come.

most of the countries have already lost the battle, instead of Zero Tolerance, which is hard to achieve, they decided to live with Covid...here we go.

Come back will have to be quarantined right? After quarantine should be safe already.

After quarantine may not be safe, in some cases people were tested positive 2 weeks after completing quarantine. Must do PCR testing multiple times, some people are tested negative (so called false negative) in the first 4 tests but positive in the 5th in Taiwan.

Some are 14 + 7...they dunt really trust our test result, must do swab test upon arriving at their airport, then 5 more swab tests to be performed during quarantine. The reason they do multiple swab tests is because the viruses are hard to detect for a single test.

Me last 2 weeks at NUH also kena quarantined for 14 days. Did 2 x PCR and a few ART. But damn shiok....1st class service.
What happened was I went NUH and they put me in a holding area with many suspected cases. So end up I become a close contact and had to be quarantined.

When a country is big and pop. large, they can survive on domestic tourists, and China is one of them.

Open , only more covid troubled countries will come , better conditions will try to go even better or similar conditions countries.
open, families with elderly and young kids will not come out. economy not good, more well off laid . so their families also don't come out as much. Very rich fly overseas since you open.
Left under 30 low paid left to stimulate the economy . plus those angmo whom want to visit pubs. middle income ft save their money to send back.
Hosay liao.
Open for who?
