May 13, 2022

QT:{{”
To enter the United States, all air passengers age 2 and older must have a negative coronavirus test taken within one day of departure…. The accepted PCR and viral tests are available at many hotels, airports, health clinics and local pharmacies overseas. Certain antigen or nucleic acid amplification self-tests like BinaxNOW and Ellume…are also accepted. These require you to connect to a telehealth service by video, so that you can be supervised by a medical practitioner while you take the test….
There are no testing requirements for travelers entering the United States through land or ferry ports of entry.

Mark D. Levine on Twitter: “Not enough people know: NYC is now offering free, same-day home delivery of paxlovid (new, effective anti-viral pill). If you test pos, especially if you’re hi-risk, ask your doc about this treatment. If you don’t have a doc call 212-COVID19. And for now we have good supply.” / Twitter

Does Part of Putin’s Wartime Mindset Reflect Pandemic Isolation? – The New York Times

March 6, 2022

QT:{{”
Now Mr. Putin has in-person visitors — including the Israeli prime minister, Naftali Bennett, who met with Mr. Putin for about three hours on Saturday. (Mr. Putin’s residence and the Kremlin are outfitted with disinfectant tunnels that all visitors must pass through.)

Some of the world leaders who have met with Mr. Putin in recent diplomatic overtures were seated 20 feet from him at a behemoth of a table, having refused to submit to Russian P.C.R. tests that would make their DNA available to the Russians. Otherwise, people who meet him face-to-face generally have spent as long as two weeks in quarantine first.

Mr. Putin’s extreme caution reflects not only his age — he is 69, putting him at relatively high risk of severe illness from the coronavirus — but also what critics describe as paranoia honed during his former career as a K.G.B. spy.
