Re: [Unicum] COVID-19 reqs for travelers from Hungary?

Please refrain discussing epidemiology and politics. The original question was about what are the requirements for travel which is of outmost importance for Hungarians in this group. All other discussion, even if it is valid, interesting etc.  should take place in other mailing lists. Thank you for your understanding

There is no test that specifically tests for C19. In fact someone I know requested FOIA information about proven deaths and there are none.

One of the tests is for T-call immunity, which basically tells you about the presence of antibodies for any of the over 100 known or goodness known how many RNS viruses (mostly, the common cold). Another test recognizes the presence of a fraction of the protein created by the DNA a virus that can be the assumed one or, again, goodness knows What.

Either way, it's public records that not a single more person died this year than in any other year. In fact, according to the CDC, the number is lower this year, despite the increased amount of suicides, homicides, and violence in the family.

That doesn't amount to a pandemic, does it now?

Hi All,

Who knows something about the test included in the attachments? Is this a CV-19 test? Can one purchase it in the USA?

Ki tud valami információt a csatolékban szereplő tesztről? Ez egy Covid teszt? Vehető az USA-ban?

Thanks,

Eszter Szabo

Dear All,

I realize that the US being a global hotspot & in the "red zone" of countries as far as travel to Europe is concerned, but what about travel from Hungary to the US?  A friend of mine would like to visit (and also bring my mother) in the beginning of October.  Per his research if a test like he was able to obtain (CoreTest® COVID-19 IgM IgG antibody test) is done 2x in a 5 day stretch, the 2nd being done within a day of travel then one can freely travel to the US (both my friend and my mom have visa) and then upon returning to Hungary a similar double-testing using the above test (also attached) would allow you not to go into quarantine.  Does anyone know whom at the Embassy I could ask to confirm this?

Thank you!

Kedves Unicum Olvasók!

Egy barátom készül az USA-ba utazni Magyarországról október elején.  A barátom szerzett egy pár "CoreTest® COVID-19 IgM IgG antibody test" nevű tesztet (lásd csatolást is) és azt mondták neki a magyarországi utazási irodában, hogy 5 nap alatt mutatott 2 negatív teszt esetén, a második az utazás napján, elvileg gond nélkül utazhatnak az USA-ba (van érvényes vízumuk) és a Magyarországra visszautazás esetén pedig szintén 2 negatív teszttel ki tudnák váltani a karantén kötelezettséget.  Azt szeretném megkérdezni, hogy ezt ki tudná a Nagykövetségen hivatalosan is megerősíteni/igazolni?

Köszönettel:

Zoli
