The serious cases are mostly unvaccinated.

Too much hassle!

You're wrong. Is all of the USA unsafe then or even all of Chicago? Is there no crime risk in parts of CR, Uruguay, and Chile then? Speaking as someone who was mugged in Rio so I'm no Pollyanna on this topic. Mexico for example. I wouldn't book a vacation in Tijuana but wouldn't bat an eye traveling to Puerto Vallarta.

True dat.

On the safety issue in the Americas (North/Central/South), you simply need to pay more attention to specifically WHERE you are visiting. Do some basic research, talk to people when you land, and you will be "safe" within a level of risk that most people other than perhaps the Swiss can accept. I initially suggested Cartagena Colombia as it seemed to ring most of the bells the OP wanted to ring. But Cartagena is not the safest (nor nearly the most dangerous) city in Colombia. It's a place where you need to avoid dodgy areas (not rocket science to do). There are other areas in Colombia (and Mexico, etc.) which are more overall acceptably safe (though any big city has sketchy districts). Violent crime risk of course isn't the only safety risk in travel. Consider Thailand's traffic safety issues, among the worst on the planet. To add, not to be the spelling police, but it's ColOmbia, NOT ColUmbia, Kay?

Then probably no booster.

Scandinavian Pørni! So good! No not what you're thinking. https://www.nentgroup.com/news/news-releases/nent-groups-hit-norwegian-series-porni-renewed-two-further-seasons-1916939 Warning to certain elderly gentlemen. You know who you are. Season 1 of Pørni has a gay Grandpa and a few very minor black characters.

100 years is time.

Make it easier to actially get the boosters and while you're at it make the venues less like super spreader events.

Has not changed.

I'm not in charge of public relations. What happens happens.

Game over. End of.

Good!

I'm not so interested either but word is that many straight men are very interested.

Here https://link.springer.com/book/10.1057/9780230104716 But this isn't a discussion of Russian history. The obvious and obviously ridiculous insinuation of that being posted was to suggest that the current western media is equivalent to Stalinist.

Are you familiar with the word ANECDOTAL?

I have a feeling that the DR is the winner here.

Its not always as black and white as you suggest. For example old time westerns rarely show black or gay cowboys, yet they definitely existed and black ones were very common.

We can wish that but we don't know that.

No comment on that but I will say that the virus doesn't care about politics.

And that proves what exactly?

Who knows? You don't. It could be five years.

That's a blame game that doesn't help.us NOW.

You might want to look at the Dominican Republic. There are some "naughty" beach resorts there far away from Santa Domingo. I personally don't like the DR culture but its very popular. Covid rules sound OK. https://www.southwest.com/coronavirus/dominican-republic/
