With respect, I was replying to your statement "Retirement in the US if you don't have a lot of money is a pretty sad state of affairs. Medical care is a big worry. Overall, the obstacles are huge but I don't fancy the option of not overcoming them at all."
Your post didn't specify that you were referring to your situation but rather that you were speaking of retirement in the US in general. Peace.

Re: When do we expect Trump to lift the travel ban against UK?
I'm trying to do some "how do I turn this mess into an opportunity" thinking myself, with return in mind. Retirement in the US if you don't have a lot of money is a pretty sad state of affairs. Medical care is a big worry. Overall, the obstacles are huge but I don't fancy the option of not overcoming them at all.

And so it begins. France is protesting USA attempts to secure the vaccine first through a French company.

.... The candidate vaccine is expected to enter clinical trials in the second half of 2020 and to be available by the second half of 2021.

. Can you imagine if it comes out for late October in the USA and trump is on the campaign trail vaccinating a couple of voters with the cameras on him. I really can by the way.

That simply isn't going to happen since a vaccine will not be alienable by then.

I have hope that our court appointed moron gets cramp and can't post any more.

The point isn't whether they have "failed", it is what "success" means - which is a commerically available vaccine in the second half of 2021, at the earliest.

You're an idiot. We know there will be a vaccine. We also know it's not going to happen any time soon. That's not being without hope, that's being smart, realistic, understanding that creating a working, viable vaccine takes time so people don't die or suffer serious side effects from the vaccine. We also know it's going to take a bloody long time to get everyone who can be, vaccinated. Not everyone can be.

Well, hubby and I are being tested this afternoon. The elderly woman that we have been caring for has tested positive. We've no symptoms but on the advise of the clinic doctor and our own, we are doing the testing. Easy to make an appointment online through a patient portal, schedule the appointment, complete all the paperwork online and then e-check-in. The testing is done curbside.

If I was recommended to get tested I am not sure if I would hope to test negative or "positive but asymptomatic", probably the latter.
