    Thanks....Postponed trip until this shit is all sorted out...

    You need a PCR test within 72 hours a departure flight...It literally takes 48-72 hours to get results back...

    Even the nurse we talked to in Miami said she didnt know what to tell us since the rapid test is not sufficient

    My buddy uses a same day PCR test.. to leave the US for entry into Colombia and the CDC says they will take Antigen to come back home to the US.

    The media has focused on some of the most severe cases.. but if you look at the numbers; most recover..it is a game of Russian roulette.. Vacations are supposed to be a time of being carefree and free from worry but the media has caused such a frenzy that most are scared of their own shadow.. there are many at high risk but the rate of mortality is low based on the "numbers" published.. most who have passed had some underlying condition... recovery rate is 99% as BCDARON noted but the scare around the 1% makes you think twice.... there are also therapeutics now to treat...the media has done their job in creating quite the scare..on another note.... if this second wave is so bad.. where are the daily press briefings like when this first came out....   THIS VIRUS is REAL.. do what you have to to protect yourself.. make wise decisions.. another 4 or 5 months and "a vaccine" should be widely available.. BUT the thing is only 90% effective.. people are still going to get it...

    I’m going back to Salvador the week of Nov 8th. Flights are extremely cheap right now so I’m going to work out there for a week or two. Found a great apartment for $30/day, there are even some decent apartments for under $20/day. Let me know if you will be in town and we can hit the sauna together. 

    hope to get a trip report... I hear the beaches are very nice.... older type of colonial city.. it has been on my bucket list..

    Excellent report as always....Just got back to Cartagena and would have much rather been in Rio but that will be coming up in December...

    Hey Badboy81.. don't you have to get tested 72 hours before departure to go to Colombia?  testing sites charge for the expedite but it would seem like such a headache..just thinking out loud.. Were you able to get the test done within 72 hours with no headache?

    Will you travel to Brazil?

    Also, from the comments, I would not assume the guys are even there in the saunas. They seem fairly empty. Being a sauna boy entails having intimacy with many different people and is almost a certain infection if susceptible to infection. Having covid in Brazil is much more deadly, even if just for friends and relatives of the young, than in the US. As poor as many of these guys are, it seems most are curtailing dangerous activity like saunas as much as possible.  

    Hey Tasso..I agree.. the guys are not in abundance but empty would not be the way I would describe what I saw.  Not sure if it was because it was October (low season) or the Pandemic.  117 just barely opened and I think word is starting to trickle out.  The type of guys I like were a little lacking but I like I said above; I was always able to find what was needed.  I was there Fri/Sat/Sun... Friday was a good mix... Saturday had more clients than guys (maybe better at point).. Sunday was not bad for a Sunday.. 117 is also doing 50% off the cabine for Friday/Sat and not Sunday !!!  The staff all wear masks.....things are coming up to speed with a new norm but it'll take some time.

    Hello.. I was recently in Rio for a short stay... Everyone wears masks for the most part.  It's mandatory to get onto the Metro.  Inside dining with masks.  Went to 117 and it was a mixed bag.  Most didn't wear but had it handy.  Depending on your tastes; it could either be really good or just OK. I saw a one or two guys from the forum.  It's still really slow with regards to Clients and Garotos.   Weather was crap.  Things are returning back to a "new normal"  but it'll take some time and some adventurous hoes to make the leap forward.  I didn't go to Lions.  I did go to Pointe but they were doing a private party.  No new faces but the regulars abound.  Insurance is no longer a requirement.    If you are worried; I would recommend staying at home as worrying about getting sick would put a damper on festivities.  No direct flight from where I was at.  I had to connect from Sao Paulo to Rio and Rio to Sau Paulo.  Both flights were packed.  Everyone wears a mask on the plane. Getting from the US to Sao Paulo.  Flights were empty.  Exchange I got of casa de cambio was 5.6.  Selection was limited but was always able to get at least 2 programmas in during each visit.  150 seems to be the going rate and I don't quibble as it's not much but I do remember one guy asking for 120.  Daily rates can vary but I pay 300 to 500 per day.  It really depends upon your relationship with the person.  I think minimum wage is about 1200 reais/month before taxes. 

    Hope the information helps.
