COVID-19 Coronavirus UPDATES, BANS, CLOSURES, ADVISORY, etc.

My wife’s friend , who’s a bio chemist for a pharmaceutical company, has covid, with covid symptoms, bad . Oh and by the way, she’s been vaccinated for almost 2 months.
 
Please advise the turnaround time for a PCR test in the US. Also please advise if the 72 hour requirement for the test, prior to your flight, is from the date of the test or the date receipt. And finally, due to the number of stops and the length of the flights from the US to RSA what happens if the 72 hours expires midtrip?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

I leave for our Safari May 27th and we are getting our PCR test results within 30 minutes for $98 total. There are several centers in Texas anyways that guarantee this 30 minute turnaround on PCR tests that specialize in international traveling but you just ask for that guarantee and some are a bit pricey. I know our backup appointment we have set for the day we leave (in case something goes wrong in the first test the day before departure) is $295 with a guaranteed 30 minute turnaround with results. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the information. Would greatly appreciate the names of the centers(especially around San Antonio) you mention for the 30 minute PCR test. We leave May 31.

I'm not sure about around San Antonio, but here in DFW the one by the airport that does the testing exclusively for international traveling with the 30 minute guaranteed turnaround is called "MED + Dallas Accula" at 580 S. Denton Tap Rd., Suite 280 Coppell, TX 75019. They charge $275 for their PRC test with 30 minute guaranteed results. They have other locations as well if you want to check them out and make your appointment online at www.medplusurgentcare.com Hope this helps! Good luck to you on your safari! You're headed out just a few days after we depart for the Eastern Cape as well.

Probably this part of the reason....hopefully at last paying attention to actual facts and figures real time as opposed to people making them.up with "modelling" etc...was sent this by a friend

BBC News - Covid: Spain's top court rules lockdown unconstitutional
Meanwhile in Canada, all the COVID Charter decisions should convince prospective lawyers to just skip Constitutional law. Ours is but a strongly worded statement of laudable principles, but not a constitution at all!
 
I see the normal people lost the court cases over the mandatory jail requirement. Of course Trudope our dictator made all and any details on decision a case of "national security" and locked data for 20 years. What a crock.

Did just read jail booking is not required to leave, just required to return. Guess we will wait till end Aug and hope, pray and cross fingers it gets dropped before return.

A disgusted Canadian.

Well the recent announcement and non requirement of the mandatory jail hotel upon return is a welcome bonus. Saves some $$$, hassle and time but the flight change cost money. Dam airlines, almost same cost to get from home to Toronto (TO) as it is TO to SA. Wheels up for first leg tomorrow.

Yippee Canadian heading on Safari. Its like Christmas as a kid.

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
