Turkish Vacation Story

N-TV (commercial network news) had this brief note today on vacation travel and Coronavirus.

With the deals in place (just fantastic flight/5-star hotel/ all meals/drink as much as you want from the bar).....there is this little thing that the Germans brought up today.

Lets say you leave Germany, and on this flight into Turkey....three days later, you get the Coronavirus.

There is a 'standard' handling procedure in place by the Turks, and it involves the 'Trump-drug...hydroxychloroquine.

Yep.  The German government actually asked the Turks to remove this mandatory treatment idea, and the Turks said no. 

Turkish law says if you are infected....you MUST go to the nearest hospital, and be noted in their records as 'positive' and undergo the mandated 'care'.

Germans have been getting a fair amount of negative chatter on the hydroxychloroquine situation.  Even if the French medical establishment is pursuing this.....the general word is....evil-Trump.....evil hydroxychloroquine. 

Affecting Germans taking the cheap Turkish deal?  I'm not buying into that discussion.  For two weeks of a five-star resort on the Med, with drinks as part of the package, and airfare for 400 Euro.....I think Germans would overlook the evil-Trump chatter and the Covid-19 threat.
