INDONESIA - 2021 Cancellations Ahead, is your booking at risk?

All these articles refer to Wuhan. As a place. A place where at that moment was a virus outbreak. It does not name the virus the Wuhan virus.

They refer to the Wuhan Virus not just Wuhan. Anyway it is the Wuhan Virus nothing changes that.

There is no reason to think that the most intelligent people are the fittest to survive.

A ScubaBoard Staff Message...

The politics surrounding the virus is not on topic outside the pub. Future posts that devolve into political bickering will result in the curtailment of posting privileges in this thread and possibly more broadly. There are plenty of places to argue about politics including in our own pub but this forum's purpose is to provide information and discussion about scuba related topics. Please practice restraint.

We had a trip from last May bumped to last two weeks of April. Land based, NAD Lembeh and Gangga Island Resort. We were not fully in the cancellation window but we were able to defer the reservations. Pretty sure we're going to have to tank those weeks.

Sorry, what does this mean?

Here is what we do know, the vaccine Indonesia is rolling out from China has a 50% failure rate and is known to cause lots of side affects..

Thanks for that! That article is much more useful than the 'We don't know' answers I've seen in other sources, and without being unduly speculative summarizes what evidence there is, presents it in a simple, easily learned form, and does a nice job of explaining the relevance of IgG vs. IgA and thus being post-infection vs. having been vaccinated.

Worth a read, people! Worth a read.

50% could be a blessing for millions of people. Why COVID-19 vaccine efficacy at 50 per cent isn't a bad thing

Well it means countries should not open up to general tourism for a few years then.
