Pickvisa seems to be a fair search site ... example given: Salvador Bahia. I think it might even be decent for sourcing in other countries. If you go the ‘rapid antigen test’ route for entry to USA, make sure it is a nasopharyngeal swab because there is some confusion in Brazil between rapid antigen and rapid serology, mainly due to the term “rapid”. Unlike USA and Canada, there are many rapid serology tests approved and utilized, for example, in pharmacies. They test for antibodies following infection. I believe they are all based on taking a drop of blood. That may suggest immunity but does not satisfy either the antigen (or nuclear acid amplification, eg RT-PCR) option required for boarding to USA. Nasal & throat swab is the method for antigen or RT-PCR testing. Antigen tests can be lab-based (not rapid) but I think most folks would choose the rapid option if going the antigen route. Saliva tests have not yet gained ground for countries’ entry regulations. As @floridarobstates, note that antigen tests are not accepted elsewhere in the way the USA currently designates them as qualifying for boarding to USA. https://pickvisa.com/covid-19-test-centers/brazil/salvador

The usually xenophobic Bolsonaro wooing India for vaccine supplies, but at least he did not pull a tone-deaf Trudeau ...

... milk of a honey.

So relieved, but I do look forward to the day when my pants are back on fire.

Yes, young man, spill.

No, just stumbled on it by accident online thru following a gogo scheduled to dance there. Due diligence sharing. I believe it is mainly worthwhile on weekends. It is quite open about the acompanhante feature.

Try to log out or clear your overall search engine cache first? Also the system does not recognize a post right away. Give it a bit of time. I also notice the red banner ‘Invisible Forums’ is gone.

This venue, Saunaju, up the coast from Salvador Bahia, has garotos de programa and tantric massage. https://instagram.com/saunaju_oficial?igshid=2cf46bb99vb9

OnlyFans is like the pre pre pre qualifying regional auditions for American Idol. Just much more expensive than full TV streaming fees. Has Simon Cowell recovered?

Brexit 2.0?

Curfew hours and other measures are to be relaxed. Too much opposition overriding public health recommendations. Science and compliance polarized.

Pivoting to restrictions imposed on passengers out of Brazil (and everywhere else), by USA, Canada, etc ... Adjusting for false negative RT-PCR test results, the probability of at least one infected passenger on a 300-person flight out of Brazil is currently about 76%; out of any location globally based on a global average of CoV case incidence, 33% probability. Adding up flight volume, albeit minuscule relative to pre-pandemic air travel norms, that’s a lot of cross-border sharing. These metric models drive the rationale for the new USA addition of 2-week quarantine. Canada introduced it long ago. Viral variants are nevertheless piggy-backed in. One is killing off just about an entire long-term care home north of Toronto, duelling with the initiation of vaccination. So, both measures, not just one or the other half-measures. The majority of travellers are not notified of cases linked to flights.

Well, yeah, if ya takes it literally ... more likely shorthand for new case incidence getting under control. They are extremely low on vaccine order contracts, trying to shut Bozo’s unfiltered trap in order to improve Brazilian-Indo and Brazilian-Sino relations, and banking on local production of a substandard vaccine. The second wave right now is about at the first wave’s peak. Ebb and flow? Don’t know. Chile and South Africa are mirroring their winter peaks of 6 months ago; does not seem seasonal like flu. I have my sights on travel there March 2022, and Europe May 2022 especially if Brazil does not pan out.

Correct ... if Gov. Doria’s statement was interpreted accurately, this measure could persist until the “majority of people are vaccinated”. Now that there is a more concrete plan, however dragged out inoculation is, he appeals to his state constituents to suck it up as there is a plausible end in sight. Several state regions are actually in Phase Red max restrictions. They tend to be peripheral but you can see these red-mapped zones gradually spread into the central and southern parts of the state. No region is currently Phase 3 Yellow.

The snacks and tips are circularly give and take. You give tips to the snack servers, then you take all the tips you can snack on. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Starting Monday, non-essential venues close at 20:00 on weekdays and do not operate on weekends. It’s basically a hybrid of the restriction levels, Phase Orange weekdays, Phase Red evenings and all weekend and holiday hours. I believe Lagoa qualifies as a restaurant.

I am a bit obsessed with a massage-with-benefits guy recently listed on Skokka in Goiânia, based on the ad and photos that smack of authenticity. I am not one to waste providers’ time if there is no prospect of imminent travel, in the same way that I do not hound Instagram models, but I would def reach out to this guy, if I were heading to São Paulo, for more data. I am usually as keen for an interior side-trip as travel to a shwhore location. I understand that Pirenópolis and Cidade de Goiás are two colonial/gold towns worth visiting. Goiânia does not even get a mention in DK Eyewitness Travel.

Actually, mass confusion ... the USA entry requirement does allow for a rapid antigen test, but good luck matching up the product used abroad with the ‘qualifying test’ criteria. There are already 69 antigen tests authorized. The US is also widely criticized by experts for allowing antigen test results, in general less sensitive compared to the NAAT category (nucleic acid amplification) that is delineated as one of the two options ... RT-PCR satisfies the NAAT option. Antigen tests at point of care are useful in congregate settings in order to quickly assess infection and recovery. Often a RT-PCR test is also used for confirmation, but results turnaround is longer. Apologies for earlier dismissing the rapid antigen category for USA specifically, but unless you are a master of test assays, the RT-PCR is the better choice, lest as well the CDC pulls the plug and disqualifies the (rapid) antigen option, in keeping with the global trend. Moreover, the CDC has removed the word ‘rapid’ from the antigen test taxonomy because some antigen tests may be done at point of care (ie, rapidly) and others are laboratory based with turnaround more consistent with RT-PCR. The CDC does not specify whether a point-of-care antigen test is inferior or disqualifiable relative to a lab-reviewed antigen test. Isn’t this fun?

12 weeks overhead for a week of practice. I would need muito cavity distraction to keep my mouth shut. Perhaps he could cover a locum here and there for Carioca dentists on vacation.

Too soon. It would mean he is hoarding preferentially, and there are 25 other states with ballot boxes. The fed courts may order equitable CoronaVac distribution. The public has thrown off most of its contrarian vaccine hesitancy. Funny what headlines of infected suffocating people drowning above the water table does. Whoever can facilitate a supply of desperately needed oxygen, for example in a state with ironically the highest atmospheric O2 globally, may see an upswing in popularity. If São Paulo structural pandemic mitigation is relaxed by two-thirds as folks get cocky, and with state border permeability, the net yield of a vaccine such as CoronaVac where the odds of infection relative to pre-vaxx baseline are reduced only to one-third, all in the context of escalating case reproduction numbers, might not be very pronounced. And the aggressive mutation strain that is evident in Amazonas, with a 1.6+ per/person reproduction ... 10-fold case numbers within 5 transmission cycles ... is bound to creep across all regions. Not a good time to be a politician there, let alone a brasileiro.

When searching for a test resource, make sure that you understand the distinction between a ‘rapid test’ and getting the format you require quickly/ “rapidly”/ conveniently. For example if the turnaround time for results is minutes (eg, rapid test) rather than hours or even days (eg, PCR) you likely have not met the testing format criteria for boarding back to USA. Anyhow, you will pay a fee. It is unlikely you would get what you need in a clinic for locals. You may need their public insurance plan or to have CoV symptoms. Following is a sample list of Rio labs and I also linked one of them here, the Sérgio Franco place. I think it just has the one location, in Leblon, but right at the Antero de Quental metro station. Oddly, Alta is at the same address. https://sergiofranco.com.br/testes-covid-19

If you do end up visiting LRD the country is offering free PCR tests to tourists that require them to return to their home nation. Hotels will coordinate the procedure. Up until about end of March for now. I imagine that if you are staying in a platform-based rental such as Airbnb you will have to use one of the local health units, but they are accommodating tourism testing needs. That said, the government is not ruling out an incoming travel ban if new case incidence continues to increase. These rumblings are suggestive of extension of the current curfew law as well. Vaccine purchase acquisition contracts portend a sufficient national supply but, as for all but innovative Israel trading prospective observational cohort efficacy data for Pfizer/BioNTech supply priority, the timing of dose administration suggests months out from now.

Today, Anvisa adjudicated the applications submitted for both the CoronaVac and Covishield vaccines, authorizing both products for emergency use. Regarding CoronaVac, studied there in a large scale research trial, there was a lot of political pressure to roll out something quickly as better than nothing ... it may offset 1 case of every 3 cases that would have otherwise occurred. Personally, I would favour AstraZeneca’s Covishield that will eventually transport in from Serum production facilities in India. I think that it will also be more likely to be diligently tweaked for efficacy wrt the growing array of coronavirus variants.
