Question about new Health Protection Agency guidelines for tourists. Thanks!!!

My girlfriend and I will be traveling to the Maldives for 2 weeks in Sept. I'm coming from the USA and she's arriving from Japan. I am fully vaccinated. She is scheduled to get the 2nd shot of the vaccine a week before leaving for the Maldives, therefore, she wouldn't be considered "fully vaccinated" yet. We plan to stay at both guesthouses on local islands and resorts. I have the following questions:

  1. According to the new Health Protection Agency guidelines, tourists who are not fully vaccinated can stay at a guesthouse on a local island if the local island meets certain vaccination requirements (eg, 95% of the tourism related service providers in the island have completed full vaccination). We plan to stay for a few days at Reef Edge Guesthouse on Thulusdhoo. Where can I find information on whether Thulusdhoo has meant these requirements? It's not on the Ministry of Health website.

  2. The new HPA guideline mentions guesthouses but not resorts. Do these new guidelines also apply to resorts?

  3. When we fill out the online Health Declaration form, it asks to list the dates of the vaccine. Will my girlfriend be denied entry into the Maldives because she's not considered "fully vaccinated?" Do we have to show proof of vaccination on arrival?

  4. Is COVID testing required for travel between local islands?

Thanks in advance!

IRS has a tax provision which provides 'protection' to criminals.As long as a criminal is paying tax on stolen property,drug money IRS wouldn't share the identity of the criminal with any other law enforcement agency ! Then why go ballistic against Crypto?

>If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless you return it to its rightful owner in the same year,"' read the provision for stolen property

What if you're dealing drugs or caught up in other crimes?

>In that case, the IRS publication saysΒ jot your earnings on line 8z, Schedule 1 of your 1040 form, "or on schedule C ... if from your self-employment activity And don't forget to report any bribes or kickbacks you took in the course of doing business.

The kickbacks also go on Schedule 1 or Schedule C, while the IRS says bribes should simply be included in your income.

At first, I thought its a joke but it's real.

Basically, IRS wouldn't share the identity of the criminal to any other law enforcement agency. In other words, as long as criminal is paying tax it's all good.The main aim is to just get more and more in tax revenue without being bothered by the crime committed.This is just extreme level of double standards,the same authorities would cry "Crypto only used by Criminals" then this tax provision.

Then why complain about Crypto being used by criminals?
