If Biden is putting such intense travel rules on us, would it be easier to just go to Mexico and cross over with zero tests or mandates? Have there been any more secret late night flights into Jacksonville bringing immigrants to Florida? Just joking….. but not really.

Please see point one on post #16

I have no idea why anyone would regularly check their antibody level, in fact, I'm having trouble understanding why any physician would order multiple antibody tests on an asymptomatic patient, but beware putting all one's faith in the only commercially available antibody test out there. In other words, a positive antibody test does not necessarily = immunity.

That only applies to people flying in ——— NOT people charging in without papers through our southern border!

I got this from CNBC.

"The Biden administration is tightening travel rules to and within the U.S., requiring all in-bound international passengers to test for Covid within 24 hours of departure ...

The tightened pre-departure testing protocols will apply to all in-bound international travelers regardless of vaccination status and will begin as early as next week ..."

In addition, they are debating a controversial proposal to require all travelers, including U.S. citizens, to self-quarantine for seven days, even if their test results are negative. Those who flout the requirements might be subject to fines and penalties, the first time such penalties would be linked to testing and quarantine measures for travelers in the United States.​"​

Just me but as unstable as the world is in, I’ll stay right here in the good ole U.S. People get into all kinds of issues from foreign govt. & then they expect the U.S. get them out of there. Oh I believe there’s safe places to go but anything could happen!

Sounds reasonable to me. The Flu Pandemic of 1918 lasted for several years (I think at least three). Better to be safe than sorry!

Have we EVER had a 100% acceptance of anything, especially vaccinations? Did anyone really expect different?

The latest I heard is having to show a negative test from within 24 hours. That's EXTREME. So hard for labs to make that happen without it being very pricey.

The agenda? My guess....keep the majority scared, dependent and constrained as possible.

"keep the majority scared, dependent and constrained as possible." Rubbish, this is serious - just consider the death toll in the US and around the world.
