CAMBODIA CHARGES $3000 TO VISIT

Cambodia has got this whole pandemic thing figured out. For now, all visitors are now required to pay a $3,000 deposit upon arrival at the airport. The mandatory deposit is refundable after fees are deducted for COVID-19 tests or quarantine and medical costs. Every visitor will have to at least pay for transportation to a testing center, the test itself, a one-night stay in a hotel while waiting for a result, and three meals during the mini-quarantine, which comes out to a more manageable $165. But – if even one passenger on a plane tests positive, every other person on the aircraft must quarantine for 14 days and take a second test, bringing the total up to $1,276. Finally, should a visitor die from the coronavirus while in the country, $1,500 will reportedly be taken out of the deposit for cremation purposes. Cambodia has staved off the coronavirus quite successfully thanks to a quick response. As of early June, there have officially been 126 cases since the pandemic began, and 124 recoveries.
* How is that possible? Are they not inhaling?
* Meanwhile, they’re earning interest on your $3000. According to my brother-in-law, that’s where they get ya.
* Virus test, night in a hotel AND three meals for $165? Outrageous!
* What if you just sit in the hotel lobby all night long. Will that save you 20 bucks?
* Seriously, Cambodia is doing this because they think it’s a deterrent to tourists. Boy, have they got it wrong. Have they even heard of the American health system?
