For all the complaining I sometimes do about the socialist Tico government, this is a noble sentiment.

https://ticotimes.net/2020/03/11/costa- ... know-today

"The Medical Manager of the Social Security System (Caja), Mario Ruiz Cubillo, told CRHoy that the public health system will offer free treatment to those presenting with COVID-19 symptoms. This applies if the patient is uninsured, has an irregular immigration record or is a foreign tourist.

The free care is being extended to those with a fever over 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 Fahrenheit), respiratory difficulties, dry cough and some epidemiological link to a coronavirus case.

“We have decided that all people that present symptoms … will be attended to,” Ruiz said. “Afterward, we’ll see how we manage — if we’ll offer them national insurance, or how else we’d proceed — but the important thing is they will be attended to.”


Keep politics off the board--one of the things that has nearlly ruined it. And yes, labeling the country as socialist is a political statement.

Latest world news on Covid-19 not good... It's going to get everywhere...just a matter of time. There's no stopping it. And comparisons to the flu are scary. Flu only affects 20 per cent or less of the population each year. It has a 1/10th of one percent mortality. That's 50 to 100 thousand people worldwide per year. Some years a bit worse...up to half a million with a flu a few years back. This virus is a bit less transmissible. But that's not all good...means it takes longer to make the rounds. And a much larger percentage of people will get it because we (humanity) appear to have no built up immunity to it...unlike the flu. So up to 80% of people will eventually get it. The death toll will be many many millions. Estimates range from as low as 1% with good health care (ie. oxygen, etc) to over 3%. China got hit hard because they didn't even have oxygen to go around initially....they didn't know or acknowledge what they were dealing with at the start. Anyway...best case is around 1%.

please tell us more Dr. Zeuss :roll:
pray tell what in your background gives you the ability to make such a statement?
or are you just crystal free ballin?


Highly respected Harvard epidemiologist Marc Lipsitch has predicted, as late as yesterday, that up to 60% of adults worldwide could become infected with the corona virus, with a death rate of those symptomatic around 1%. Only drastic measures taken ASAP might reduce this projection. The potential death toll is staggering. This estimate consistent with projections recently published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet.

NBA Suspends Season after Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz) tests positive for COVID-19

Still think it's overblown?

That's not necessarily a bad thing. I can't stand watching basketball. As a bonus the freed up airtime might give the XFL a better chance of survival.

It would be nice if the administrator of this site would post official updates of the Coronavirus situation in Costa Rica. All we are getting here is the usual BS, hissy fits, conspiracy theories, and smart ass comments from the usual swarm of gadflies that infest this site. I am visiting soon and would like to see some reliable information.

if anyone has some first hand experience or knowledge, a couple of reports on some issues would be good.

anything new going through immigration at the airports yet, and
whether the ladies are freaking out and want everything double bagged ?

This outbreak is going to seriously derail our hobby along with many other aspects of daily life. This will be the first summer in fifteen years that I will not be doing a mongering trip. To hell with sports and the economy,we need our hookers. I mean, c'mon fellas, priorities.
