The incubation period is not 2 weeks. It's a mean time of 5 days and a 95% confidence window of 3-8 days and 99% confidence at 14 days to show symptoms. Once symptoms present 99% of cases are recovered within 14 days.
The people who will go to Cuba are not the people who travel here. Cuban vacations are dirt cheap compared to what our cheapest offerings. We are one of the most expensive destinations in the Caribbean. The countries losing out to Cuba for tourists will be the other low cost markets, the DR, Jamaica, Mexico. The people who have enough money to spend on our expensive product already had options for cheaper trips.
You are absolutely correct, but I fail to see what that has to do with someone complaining that they can't manage to organize themselves enough for 5 days to visit another country in the midst of a pandemic.
Who is this person complaining too? All of these op-ed's from American's and Canadian's talking about how they are so much more enlightened on how to deal with a once in a lifetime pandemic. Are we doing a shit job, absolutely, but take you're holier-than attitude back to Albany. Seeing as most countries won't even take American's, I don't think you can spout off on how you have so many other places to travel. Is this Alexander and his American friends so helpless that they can't organize a test and a flight or is he just looking something to complain about?
Why is the tribune continuing to publish these ridiculous op-ed's from outside of the country from people who are clearly useless at navigating the challenges of life?
No one there pays property tax. No house is Pinewood is worth enough to qualify for property tax, because it's underwater for half the year! Snake and SLOP are the responsible parties here, only one of them left though.
Everything he said about tests in Canada is false. Getting tested there is easy and free and results are back within 48hrs.
That being said, our government is absolutely clueless about how to deal with the current situation. They have no data, no idea, and no sense. They are flying blind and we are the ones who will suffer as they do their very best to crash this plane.
This is so incompetent. They should be doing enough tests that they are getting less than 5% positive. That means they are catching the majority of infections. Why is there any push back against testing. This is craziness.

He was in charge of oil spills on the water, look at the slicks coming off of each boat in the picture. Looks like he was terrible at his job too.
