Glad I came to São Paulo last week. It’s pretty normal here, even with many positive tests (fewer per capita than Quebec!). But at least people are mostly just getting on with things and are no longer being bombarded by the media with stories about how we are all going die.
You responded already to my post about international flights. Thanks again.
Can you say more about Brazil? What is "pretty normal"? How many people wear masks? Employees wearing masks vs the general public? Are the bars open? Resteraunts? Are they dancing on the dance floors? Are they playing soccer? Are the museums open? Have you been to the beach yet - is the tits & ass & hardbodies out and about in bikinis? What about hotels? Are the swimming pools open?
I am seriously considering your Brazil suggestion. It would not be my first trip, so I remember what normal used to look like on Copacabana Beach.
edit: And immigration. Is it literally wide open? Temp checks? Contact tracking? No quarantines at all?
Masks are required in many places depending on state and municipal rules. Hand sanitizer is used everywhere. Bars and restaurants are open, though I haven’t been to the nightclubs. (I understand many are now open but you should confirm this). Beaches are open (I don’t think they ever closed). Hotels are open. I’m in a condo and our pool is open and our gym is open. They have reduced capacity but that hasn’t been an issue. Not sure hotel pools are open but I don’t see why not. Brothels are open (!). Some establishments do temp checks when entering and some don’t. People are not lining up to enter malls and stores. For immigration, Canadians no longer require visas and the health insurance requirement that had been in place for a few months is now gone as well. No quarantines. No contract tracking. Temp checks at some places only. I’m going back to Canada in early November to take care of some matters and then I’ll return in December for a month or so to spend mainly at the beach in São Paulo. Its not nearly as bad as Quebec - people here are easy going and do what they need to do. They are still enjoying life, even if it is a bit disrupted.
