The original post was : under current conditions Guantamo Bay looks a far better option.

Reply to this post : and you can be in a bar on a beach in Cuba with a glass of beer or some Caribbean rum.

My reply was to mention that it is not possible to move from Gitmo to Cuba. I know where to enter, have been there long enough.

 

Thnx..I missed the earlier Guantanamo reference

So 983 Thai's out of 1311 polled said no to tourism?

 

Yet 550,000 recently lost jobs due to no tourists? ????

 

Wonder what NIDA stands for?

WHO

That is perhaps the impact on the  population including those not infected.  Many differing numbers out there. What you used is to downplay the impact....

Why is a "disease" that is 99.97% non fatal getting this much attention?

It's not like it's the Spanish flu or bubonic plague <deleted>

Try asking the families of the half a million who it has already killed in Brazil. It's more like 2% die not .03%. Then you have to take into account the strain on hospitals and those suffering with long covid. 

Open your eyes and look how devastating it really is.
