Re: Cambodia to reopen to Tourists
I think people overstate the “vaccine doesn’t stop you spreading it”, often egged on by anti-vax propoganda. Yes it’s possible to still spread it, and yes it has happened, but the chances of doing so are hugely reduced by the vaccine. Combine this with testing before and on landing and a Day 3 test and the chances of something getting through become pretty small.

I quoted 3 recent studies from the US that show, on average, the vaccines there reduce transmission of infection by 50% and they were done since Delta FWIW.

Re: Cambodia to reopen to Tourists
You’ve misread an important detail in that article, specifically that it’s 50% of people who got a breakthrough infection. You still need to multiply that out with the efficacy of the vaccine itself - so for the mRNA jabs we’re talking something like 50% of 5-8%. And even those are mostly going to be filtered out with PCR testing.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 11:21 pmIn this post: post512509.html#p512509nerdlinger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 9:50 pm I think people overstate the “vaccine doesn’t stop you spreading it”, often egged on by anti-vax propoganda.

In other news, Cambodia has overtaken the UK on vaccines as well as the US and EU.

Re: Cambodia to reopen to Tourists
Can't see November happening with 800+ cases today.
For me Thailand looks like a more realistic option, with Cambodia as a possible bolt on depending on how things go.

My fault here, off topic I was, let's make a new topic in the ass hat section where we can chronicle the conjecture of many that wish to detail the stories of lower case "nut know"chinese that prattle on about this Massace (winnie's spelling bee honey?) being sent to detection and then tortured...is that like getting sent to detective school? where they torture cadets into being better detectives?Winniethepooh wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 6:20 pm The younger generation of chinese know nut about the Tiananmen Massace. They are being smoked out by the chinese propaganda right from their first day at school. Such people are in fact very pitiful. Ask the chinese to do that in their own cities in China, they would probably be sent to detection and tortured.
The fascinating thing about Tiananmen is that the older generation don't seem to care as much as CNN does. Any responders please start a thread in the ass hat category.

"Something" is already here.
Hundreds of new infections per day, thousands currently infected, and all by way of testing. It's in the 10's of thousands in reality, and probably much more. The milk is spilt. Delta is here. Game over.
Quarantine is futile now. Last year, quarantine afforded some protection to the economy but since February the restrictions have done a lot of economic damage. It currently serves only a very small pool of very rich hotel owners to the detriment of the economy as a whole. This is what endemic corruption and cronyism leads to.
@nerdlinger (I'm not picking an argument with you, I like your posts. I'm just trying to highlight the pointlessness of the whole quarantine racket.)

Shouldn't be long now until something official is announced.

the foundations to reopen economic and social activities step by step in a ‘new normal’.
“These factors, with ‘new normal’ adoption adhering to health preventive measures against Covid-19 spread, will boost Cambodia to reopen step by step activities of domestic tourism and international tourism, prioritising public health,” Mr HE said.
'Old normal' is a very long way off.
In the meantime, get ready for a fudge of reduced/partial quarantine and other tedious and pointless requirements, all of which will cost you dearly in financial and mental heath.
