It will be a two year event in that case at best.
Cannot agree more - just read that 3 days ago 900 Russian tourists landed in Cayo Coco, Cuba.
After testing, 11 of them were Covid-19 positive and have been hospitalized.
Now a total of 20 persons are in quarantine... and they only landed 3 days ago to big fanfare by the Cuban gvmt. declaring the country "safe" for tourism.
