Rapid Serological Test KiT COVID-19
Uncle Doug replied to NewsLady's topic in "News.Boquete" Archives
This is interesting, but I suspect everyone will come back negative. We don't have any recent cases in Boquete, and the few that did have it were isolated and have recovered. I would love to test positive for antibodies, but that won't get me out of quarantine. I still may do it because I did have a mild fever a few weeks ago. -
This is a seriously bad guy, and it would have been okay with me if they had not captured him alive. You know that he will probably escape again.

CVT
Uncle Doug replied to Alan Nilsen's topic in Communications: Mail Services, Print / Electronic Media, Internet, etc.
I saw this mentioned on Facebook. A lot of people in town are affected. The recommendation was to visit the CVT in David (I have no idea where it is located) to get the packages rerouted there. Several people stated that they were going there, but nobody reported back how successful they were in getting their packages. -
China will probably cut imports even further as more cities are quarantined. It has even cancelled flights between Shanghai and Beijing.

I don't think this is a very good idea. This isn't restoring natural beaches. There aren't any there. More importantly, the bay is a dead zone. Pollution and runoff from the city will continue to contaminate the bay. This isn't unique to Panama, by any means. All coastal cities do it to some extent. But because of the configuration of the bay, wave action is minimal and the water is more stagnant. Hence, the dead zone and why the waters will always represent a potential health hazard to beach visitors.

I wonder how Gilberto Ventura was able to enlist the police officers to aid his escape. It was a bribe, of course, but I wonder how he could accomplish that in a high-security prison.

Why would it cost $200 million to draft framework laws? Whose taxpayers supplied this slush fund?

VIDEO: New Chiriqui Connector Road

Hurray! -
With the coronavirus severely impacting travel to and within China, there will be increased downward pressure on oil prices. Supply and demand is what sets prices, and demand is dropping.

As the articles above state, this was the 5th lowest rainfall in the past 70 years. That means that at least four other times since 1950 it has been even drier. It happens. They didn't impose Climate Change surcharges previously, so this is a convenient way to hike fees and blame it on everyone else.

2020 update: You still take the two sets of documents that Keith outlines to the Treasurer's Office. They will enter all the data into their system. They keep one set of documents and charge you $5.00. You then get a copy made of the receipt you are given (you may get one made at the end of the counter in that office, or if that is unavailable, take it across the street to get a copy made. You take the copy of that receipt, and the other set of documents (which has the original title attached) to the adjacent ATTT office. They will charge you $20 there and issue you the new title to your vehicle. No Banco Nacional deposit slip is involved in the process. This is the procedure at the Dolega offices, and I assume it's similar everywhere else.

In every prison, the overwhelming source of contraband is smuggled in by the guards. For the situation in La Joyita to be this out of control, every guard had to have known.

Ban the Bomb activists arrive in Panama
Uncle Doug replied to Moderator_02's topic in Miscellaneous Topics re Panama
Nuclear weapons have been around now for more than 70 years. I would argue very strongly that the only reason the USSR and the USA did not fight each other in a land war is because both sides possessed nuclear weapons. And they are probably preventing a war between India and Pakistan. In any event, you are not going to put the genie back in the bottle and forget how to make them.
