I read that a little differently. It was named Greenland as naming Iceland didn't work out so good at getting people to settle there.

US has no QR on receipts.

Weekend testing makes me nervous. Nothing could be much worse than having your result sitting waiting for opening on Monday. Where I am at now, no clinic will get me a result back sooner than 5 days unless I am sick. They told me test for the non sick are pushed to the end of the line until they have time to do it. I will have to do a 5 hr drive to an airport that does test as you wait for $250 cash, no insurance taken, results in one hr.

Yes--- doing as early as possible.so they do the lab work on Fri. Just be sure they are staffed on Sat to e-mail you the result.

well 72 hrs before would be Thur. 9pm, so unless you can get a late night test, first thing Fri and hope you can get the results Sat

I have never had them ask for that and I have changed and added computers

When I read things like the original poster, I remember one of the old Kung <deleted> TV show where the hero is trapped in a hay barn with some others and the "bad guys" maybe planning to burn the barn down with the people in it. When asked if he was worried he said "No, If they burn the place down, all the worrying won't stop it, and if they don't I will have worried for nothing." I do worry about it sometimes. I guess all of us that have pasted the 3/4 century mark can't help if because death is no longer a hypothetical concept. Some of us worked the 9 t0 5 and got Christmas off and a two week vacation every year an saved up for the "Golden Years". Some of us said "hell" to the future and made enough money to head to the beach, or Katmandu. "Cold hearted orb that rules the night. Removes the colors from our sight. Red is gray, yellow white, but we decide which is right and which is an illusion" Moody Blues. Yes. I'm rambling. I also like the Zen story of the monk that was running from a tiger. He finds a rope hanging from a cliff and begins to climb. Half way us he sees that the rope is about to break and he will fall into the teeth of the waiting tiger. He reaches over and pick a strawberry off the ledge.

As I have posted before. It is best to call the Hotel. All I believe have to pick you up. Some drive you to hospital firs and then to the hotel. Some test at hotel. If you have an late night arrival flight, you may have to pay for an extra day if you don't get the result by checkout time. Some do not charge if you have to wait longer.

The only thing I can think of is to get a letter from from your doctor explaining your situation and take it to immigration. I am sure something could be worked out since they can't expect you to travel.

Yes, Neighbor's brother had very high blood pressure and died after getting his first shot. Did the shot just push him over the edge--- can't say

I noticed it must be 6 years ago before Mr T, the help wanted signs going up in southern Oregon. I saw it as a good sign at the time that the economy was picking up. But you still were lucky to get 10 or 11 an hr, and most the big box stores would not let you work full time so you couldn't get benefits. The cheapest rentals here are $1500 a month with the first and last and security deposit to get in. First months pay gone and you still have to get the electric and the water turned on. Now the only fast food place that has inside seating is Panda Express. They are paying 15 for the waiters and up to 22 for cooks and managers. I just saw a place last week that was offering a $1000 hiring bonus (with stipulations). Homelessness here is about the same as it has been for years, but I was up in Olympia Washington and it was unbelievable. The downtown city parking lot is now just a homeless camp. You see tents set up in the green area on the freeway on-ramps. On the other hand I know some kids (in their 20s now) that are making over $100,000 in their first jobs (Intuit, Boeings.) working from home.

I have wondered about that. A very easy thing to forge. There is a number on them but I think it is the vaccine vial number.

Looking online, I am beginning to see see the packages for one night stays with testing and trans from the airport included.

A case in point about the confusion. A friend of mine who has a ticket for Dec first, booked room from the list of hotels. My wife after hearing me talk about some of the confusion I had been reading about, told his wife (Both Thai) to call the hotel about how they are supposed to get there from the airport. She was told that they would "NOT" be allowed to come until they got negative results at the airport. I wanted to return sometime in Dec but I am going to wait until at least Jan to see how this all works out.

Checking locally here in the US. There is no way I could get a PCR test back in time for a flight. Right now people that are showing signs of covid are put at the head of the list. I was told it could take days. Maybe driving to a major city would be an option (6hrs for me). Haven't checked there yet.

I don't think I have ever gotten through the terminal gates to leaving the airport in 25 minutes. I've waited longer than that just to get my luggage.

50000 US insurance. Is that a step down from the 100,000 covid insurance or full coverage bought in Thailand? No mention of hotel lockup.

When I was around 11 years old I think. My family was moving from Kansas to California. I got to witness an atomic explosion. It must have been one of the last above ground test. They had the countdown on the radio. Saw the flash, and the mushroom cloud. It was a ways off. The cloud was about the size of the last digit of your finger at arms length.

I don't think that will happen but very possible by accident Norwegian rocket incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_rocket_incident. I am more of a believer that we will be like all other cancers, kill the body until it can no longer sustain us.

I haven't had a TV in at least 15 years, and but reading through the pick of others made me realize how hard it would be to pick 5. But I will put a second of some of the choices of others that I didn't expect to see here.

We came at it at different angles but we both think something is fishy in the math. Before covid the average income was around 14600 baht a month https://tradingeconomics.com/thailand/wages

I don't know much about the blueberry market, but if a Thai makes 500 baht a day, 2500 a week, maybe 130,000 baht a year. 14 times that would be 1820,000 baht or around $52,500 US dollars. Market value of blueberries in the US last year was $1.40 a lb. So they would have to pick 38,335 lbs. I don't know how long the Fin picking season is so I will guess 12 weeks, 60 days if 5 day work week. That comes out to around 640 lbs a day, if a 7 day work week, 84 days 460lbs a day 46 lbs an hr for a 10 hr day. Very hard work!

Set a time limit. Thai families mostly do a good job of caring for their own.

Does she work? If you can afford it, move out and let her stay there. I think you will still feel like you want to continue to pay for the boys education. Give her the least amount of money to survive. Maybe she would take a cash amount. That way you would not be paying for ever.
