If you gotta ask, you're should not be hobbying. This was true way before COVID.

Yes US requirement is 3-day (not 72 hour). Depending on where you live (and how much you want to spend), rapid NAAT are available. So you could take a test on Tuesday morning, hop on a flight right after and meet up with providers from Tuesday afternoon to Friday afternoon and hop on an early...

Canada may subject you to random post-arrival testing. Everyone needs a pre-arrival test within 72 hours prior to departure (if by air) or arrival at land border. CDC card would very likely be acceptable at face value similar to what European countries and Hawaii have done. There's no other...

Starting August 9 for fully vaccinated Americans. Pre arrival testing required.

This risk I see is if traveler test positive, they can’t fly back into US until testing negative. So a one week trip to Montreal can turn into a 2-3 week trip. There are worst places to get stuck but it could mean extra weeks of hotels. For those of us living near the border, driving could...

Vaccinated Americans may be allowed in mid-August. https://pm.gc.ca/en/news/readouts/2021/07/15/prime-minister-justin-trudeau-holds-33rd-call-premiers-covid-19-response

Is this in regards to CBSA and CBP doing the searching? Sounds like CBSA. In which case, if you are not Canadian, the bar for CBSA to search your device would likely be lower than a Canadian traveler if they suspect you are going to work without authorization. If CBP, I don't think them...

Was it agriculture specialist that seized or just someone working customs? If the later, it could have been escalated for agriculture to make a determination. Labeled products would make things easier for everybody.

It this still discussing US citizen concern with CBP searching phones? If so, CBP is unlikely to search your phone unless you set off red flags. The bar triggering CBP searching a foreigner’s electronic devices is much much lower than that of a US citizen. Once US citizenship has been...

That would save me hours and jet lag going to sauna clubs in Germany and even then it’s mostly Romanian.

I’m not following how you can arrive at “statistically lower risk” without assuming she will not work after receiving a positive result. There’s no code of conduct that requires provider to pause work until she finish treatment. There’s no requirement for provider to follow a regular schedule...

Again it’s for her benefit not yours. Why the heck would any hobbyist even “outsource” this to the provider? That is essentially what you are doing if you are not testing yourself. You take all the downside of not catching something early. Her testing doesn’t do you any good if she caught...

+1. Whether and how often she test is really irrelevant to the hobbyist. Any testing she does is for her benefit. If you are concern about STD and partake in the hobby, then you should be testing.

I’m confused. I think the vaccination rate you should be monitoring is Canada. Not US.

Setup an escrow with a sleazy attorney like Saul Goodman. Be prepared to pay a considerable fee.

Waiting on Canada to up their numbers. Doesn't look like it will happen by summer as they are recommending 2nd dose to be administered 4 months after 1st dose instead of clinical trials of 21/28 days due to supply constraints.

Grace period for NEXUS expiration extended to 18 months provide a renewal application is submitted.

Haven't been in-town since January 2020 and haven't been on MERB as frequent as before. Are kissing allowed these days? The recent re-up of the BBFS thread got me wondering how is kissing OK given that either party can bring COVID home and transmit to others especially vulnerable family...

Vaccine passports don’t seem to make sense as vaccinated can still catch and transmit especially new variants. CDC card is also easily forged.

I thought it causes carpal tunnel syndrome.
