Why not people prove they have done 14 days quarantine in their home country in a hotel of their choice and a Covid test before they fly ?

Because the people who are behind this STV scheme own testing and quarantine facilities. That is the whole point of the scheme!

What if they pick up the disease on the way to or at the airport? 

 

Where did you read this, as I'd say it's bunk.

 

I know ASQ's have been very heavily booked before and up to the STV for Thai's and certain foreigners wanting to come back...but this STV has not even been announced dates or countries or final requirements yet, so I think you may be confused...

I wish they would make a final decision.  I have to call my pilot and tell him to get the Gulfstream ready to go. And go to bank and withdraw a couple million.

That's not the same thing. During travel there will be a lot of contact. It's the 14 days after that that matters.

Do not bother with the petty cash. I have been confirmed that the Centurion is accepted (not so sure about the JP Morgan and the Merryll Lynch -since they have been under the spotlight lately but  the Santander Unlimited definitely is). Have a great flight and stay.

Well if the requirement drops to 7 days, the government and TAT could ask

for addresses of these people and for them to do 7 more days at their

properties to be sure that they are good to go. It would lessen the costs to the 

travelers and the Special hotels would still get some profit.  Maybe by November

enough brains will get used to get some better and acceptable plans in order.

One can only hope
