    Great idea to promote Medellin as the South American Silicon Valley. Lots of opportunity, but lots of work yet to do. Cheers for another informative video guys!

    I got an email last night from the US Embassy in Bogota that there is a lift in Covid tests for people entering Colombia. So you no longer have to complete a PCR test (or any test) though you do have to fill out that immigration form before you go to the airport.
    So that's awesome. Bogota lifted the restaurant and grocery stuff already. Our Airbnb is on a busy street so we know the bars are hopping, lol ;)

    The Transmilenio is barely functional. Will take a year to rebuild the system. The strikes wont end anytime soon. Sugar and meat is becoming scarce in Bogotá. Most roads outside of the big cities are blocked. Port workers in Buenaventura have walked off for weeks now.. It's no where near normal in Colombia at the moment...

    Is this a nationwide reactivation of the economy or does it just apply to certain local areas such as Medellin? I ask because over 500 people are dying every day in Colombia at the moment, so this easing of lockdown seems ... ambitious.

    • @danielyruby8696
      @danielyruby8696 3 роки тому

      Colombia is trying to reactivate the economy by doing away with the lockdowns. Masks must still be used. However, the vaccination program in Colombia is about zero... The national government is so weak it is unable to manage any effective campaign for vaccinating the majority of Colombians within a year. Any Colombian with a tourist visa is taking the next flight to Miami, Atlanta or New York to get vaccinated.

    • @elephantselephants
      @elephantselephants 3 роки тому +1

      @@danielyruby8696 Thanks Daniel. I can see this makes sense with an advanced vaccination programme, as there's always a balance to be struck between lockdowns and opening the economy again, but it's clearly a huge risk. I hope they can somehow keep the lid on the death rate.

    I live here in Colombia - please don't come now. This wonderful couple is painting a rosy picture of Colombia. I had to pay my dairy farmer/owner of my apartment 2 months in advance to help him out because he was broke due to the milk trucks being blocked. There are so many issues from gasoline, propane, food and increased prices in restaurants, stores, etc. This couple is self-serving their own interests to mislead you into thinking everything is peachy keen in Colombia.
