Canada Requiring PCR Test & Quarantine For International Travel

If you are in Chicago both ohare and midway airport administer PCR and rapid test as walk in and by appointment

this isn't a horrible piece of legislation, it does seem a bit elitist in the sense that there's a monetary barrier to entry for travel, but its intention does indeed feel like its meant to make it painful to travel without banning travel entirely. my issue is that it seems rushed and the Canadian government isn't providing adequate resources on how to source labs that provide the required test. there's way too much gray area here as has been the case with covid legislation around the country federally and provincially. give us the resources (names, labs, directories, etc) in order to find out which labs will provide the necessary test results in a timely manner. at the very least the biggest travel destination, USA, should have a directory of labs in each state that Canadians can get a PCR or LAMP test with the required 72h turn around. a price/fee would be a bonus. if anyone has a list of qualifying labs around the US (or any countries for that matter) please do share, thanks!

Where may I get a PVR test in Las Vegas to fly home this Sunday please?

How can you find a PCR-72 lab in the location you are travelling from?

Virus is going to virus. The vaccine is not 100 percent effective, will be released at "warp speed" without established multiphase testing protocols, has already elicited extreme reactions such as anaphylaxis and autoimmune response, and is the first of its kind (mRNA). The virus is 99.8 percent survivable, even more so for those who are healthy and under 80 years of age. I am fine with wearing masks, presenting negative tests before travel at my own expense, social distancing, and even purchasing added hotel rooms and/or airplane seats to be able to travel. In fact, my partner and I have done the former three criteria already and will do the latter if necessary. But demanding "vaccine or no travel" (or "jab or no job" as in Australia, or "jab or no concert" as Ticketmaster has mentioned) should give those of us who value bodily autonomy and decry totalitarian dictates in the name of "public health" pause. Please note that during the Nuremberg Trials, it was established that any coerced or forced medical treatment, no matter the pretense of "for your own good" was deemed inhumane. Do we really want a society where those who are unable, unwilling, or inclined to wait to get the vaccine are placed under draconian restrictions no matter what compensatory measures they are (and have been) willing to take towards protecting themselves and the public against this illness? If you say yes, and also acknowledge that the media reports that not only is one dose of vaccine is not sufficient against CV, that the virus will continue to mutate, that masks and social distancing will still be necessary, that there are extreme and potentially deadly reactions to this novel, untested vaccine, you need to look further before continuing to endorse "Vaccines Uber Alles or you are a Nazi" (or a Karen, same difference nowadays, apparently). Front-line physicians are taking a backseat to politicians, pharmaceutical CEOs, dot com centi-billionaires, and a power-hungry man who gained fame and fortune at the hands of millions of suffering gay and bisexual men in the 1980s. Cui Bono to create the type of "sero(mRNA vax) positive" vs "sero (mRNA vax) negative" society that bigots back in the 1980s were demanding with their strident spittle-fests about mandatory HIV tests and even forced tattoos for the positives? And if these vaccines haven't even been proven to be safe, effective, without unforeseen repercussions years later, subject to usual phased approval including via testing on children, the elderly, the autoimmune, the immune-suppressed, the allergic, etc., why are they being pushed as akin to a driver's license in a society where lacking one will lead to a person becoming an Untouchable/Huxleyan Epsilon? Even if, prior to the "rollout", they traveled frequently--masked, tested, distanced, law abiding, and recognizing that while the survival rate was 99.8, some people had genuine concerns. Why no thoughts to those with genuine worry about taking this vaccine? I do not know how old you are, but I am a man approaching fifty and my parents started their extremely successful business in the travel industry back in the 1960s. I grew up loving travel more than anything, and voluntarily spent weekends in their office from the age of eight. I met my partner in college. He was a musician and studying to be a recording engineer; despite my Ivy League undergraduate studies and subsequent law degree, I could not imagine anything but helping my parents' in their business while furthering my love and knowledge of travel, as well as my partner's developing enchantment. Due to the CV, our business is facing tough times. This I expected. But I never expected that the very generation that fought against the idea that even a (then) 100 percent deadly disease should scapegoat and restrict the rights of a group of people (as well as embed the belief that this was just, because their "unconventional lifestyle" equaled disease, contagion, and willful nihilism) would now be gleefully endorsing the same paradigm on those who, while willing to test/mask/distance/spend more money to assure others' safety (as these measures have more evidence behind them than an experimental vaccine whose only guarantee is to increase the wealth of already lucre-gorged stakeholders) object to the idea that exercising bodily autonomy and refusing a medically unproven, potentially dangerous, and (by one's own judgment, perhaps in conjunction with trusted health care professionals) is at odds with participation in many aspects of American life.
