A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Supreme Court dismisses challenge against federal mask mandate for air travel



Supreme Court dismisses challenge against federal mask mandate for air travel

The U.S. Supreme Court this week rejected a challenge to block the federal mask mandate at U.S. airports and domestic air travel amid the ongoing pandemic. Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr. denied the 89-page emergency petition for review without comment and without referring the application to the full court.


The lawsuit was seeking an immediate injunction to stop the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) mandate requiring face coverings, on the grounds of medical reasons. Michael Seklecki filed the suit on behalf of himself and his autistic son. Seklecki says he and his son can’t tolerate wearing masks, and the son needs to fly on a regular basis to seek out-of-state medical care. Lucas Wall, who has already filed another lawsuit seeking to block the mask mandate, also joined the case.

The New York Times reported on the TSA’s response to the lawsuit. The agency argued that Congress put the mask mandate in place to protect passengers, and argued that the plaintiffs failed to “[pursue] an available procedure for obtaining medical exemptions.” Chief Justice Roberts did not comment on his ruling or refer it to the full court. According to the Times, this suggests he “viewed the legal question in the case as insubstantial.” In other words, this lawsuit has no chance to be taken up by the highest court in the land.


The TSA implemented the latest mask requirement shortly after President Joe Biden took office in January. The mandate applies to everyone passing through “TSA airport screening checkpoints and throughout the commercial and public transportation systems.” The mandate applies to all U.S. airports, commercial aircraft, buses and rail systems.

Airline employees have had to endure a huge increase in unruly passengers and sometimes violent confrontations with passengers over the enforcement of the mask mandate.

The TSA has extended the mask mandate several times to help curb the spread of COVID-19 and most recently extended it again during the outbreak traced to the delta variant of the coronavirus. The mask requirement will remain in place until at least March 18, 2022, at which time the TSA will review it and decide whether or not to extend it once again.

Issue 75: New Rules for Entering the US.
 
 
Just as vaccinated travelers were getting used to the new normal of Covid restrictions, along comes Omicron—and with it, a return to travel bans and a reshuffling of regulations.

The biggest one for US citizens is the change in timing on when you’ll need a Covid test to return to the US. Here’s what you need to know.
Starting December 6, all passengers over the age of two traveling to the US by air (including citizens), regardless of vaccination status, must present a negative Covid test taken one day before departure.

Note that it’s not 24 hours. This means if your flight back to the US is at 6pm on February 2, you can take the test any time on February 1.
Travelers who recently recovered from Covid can travel with proof of that recovery, which includes a positive viral test result taken no more than 90 days before the flight’s departure, and a letter from a licensed healthcare provider or a public health official stating that you have been cleared to travel.
The test must be a viral test, which could be an antigen test or a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT), which is usually a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Many rapid tests fit the bill, as do self-administered tests, though the latter must be supervised by a telehealth provider. (Full details on test requirements are here.)
We’ve covered this before, and the advice still stands. Start with checking to see if rapid tests are offered at the airport you’ll be departing from or at the hotel where you’re staying. The embassy website for the country you’re visiting often has a link to resources, or you can simply google “covid test in [city].”

Another way to get peace of mind is to bring your own test with you. Self-tests are accepted for re-entry to the US so long as the test is supervised via telehealth. For example, tests from CityHealth cost $75 for one person*. Just log on to do the test when you’re ready, and the results will be securely emailed and texted to you within a few minutes of the appointment. All you need is an internet connection, and a device with a webcam; there’s no appointment needed and you can test any time of the day.

Just make sure you order your test with plenty of time before your trip.
