Thailand- As scenes of full field hospitals with dozens of cots flood TikTok and other social media and many news articles have come in on the Thai Government building more and more field hospitals, many people have asked what will happen if I test positive for Covid-19?

With vaccination rollouts under way in multiple countries, our dreams of jet-setting around the world may not be that far off anymore — with a few conditions. When Singapore first announced its blanket advisory against overseas travel back in March 2020, the optimist in me assumed this would all blow over in a few months. That may have just been wishful thinking, however, because here we are more than a year later with borders still shut around the globe.
