Pauli, we all know every Dominican has a general and lawyer in the family. This stuff has been blasted all over the news outlets and social media for over an hour. That makes the timing of your secret letter suspect and also pretty much irrelevant

This is just an editor piece WW. There are no where near enough published data to make other than hypothesis at this point on these other periphery. I think it is a wake up call though. Kind of made the hair on my neck stand upanother situation of subscription....

Revealed: How coronavirus attacks your veins, heart, brain and blood – as well as lungs
Research suggests the contagion can get deep into our vascular system and even our brains – so how does the virus attack?www.telegraph.co.uk
Try to be nice. I was honestly only trying to help and pass on information I had been given as I felt people on here may want to know. Nothing suspect, nothing sinister.
OK

the diabetics and so on.... all documented....
no question it has far reaching implications.... our virus

Apologies but you don't know me, you have no idea who I know, you have no idea who I mix with. Please don't make assumptions.
Danilo has asked for 25 days. Last time he asked he was granted 17 days. The Senate and Chamber of Deputies make the decision. Maybe you would like to read the short Diario Libre article. Or not...

Let's all pray that this is the case. The problem is that if it does go until the end of May, the airlines are not going to schedule flights until it is lifted, and they need a few weeks to sell the seats, so we probably won't see any tourists until July.
Only the ones who won't be trying to make up on their summer plans in the US - like July 4th, fishing season, baseball, golf, boating, camping, cookouts - all the things more enjoyable up North when the weather is warm, more enjoyable than say than "sweating with the oldies" in the Caribbean (Permanent gringo residents & tourists coming to DR)
The airlines are scheduling flights. But what happens is - when the DR extends the toque de queda, the airline cancels the scheduled flight(s). I am watching this. Delta, Jet Blue, and United. They are also modifying scheduled flights as they try to figure out how they can resume operations. (An example, we had a flight scheduled in late May PUJ to EWR. First, United rescheduled it to go to Panama (PTY) from DR then to ORD. Ridiculous from passenger point of view. You could also book this flight on line for about $2,000 USD. They later modified it again.)
Remains to be seen. I do think the airlines will complete at least some of the scheduled flights as soon as DR reopens airports.
With an incurable disease on the loose a bunch of you are carrying on like its just a big inconvenience, wanting to travel here and there. Maybe for you it isn't a big deal. Countries have lost a lot of money and many many of their citizens to this disease. No cure or treatment on the horizon. The new preparatory efforts to jump start the shutdown economies are tentative first steps at best. They are internal efforts intended for businesses and citizens within their respective countries. These will be gradual steps taken slowly after carefully watching for jumps in infection rates.
The DR is very dependent on tourist money, that's a given. Countries with more diversified economies not so much. If any traveler believes that they will soon be hopscotching around the planet like before, they have been sucking on Lysol wipes. Even here in the DR, after the SOE and the curfew has been lifted it will be a long time before potentially infected foreigners are permitted to travel here or anywhere else for that matter for strictly leisure purposes.
Until countries have stemmed the increase in cases within their own populations and that includes here in the DR, there will be no open borders. This isn't realistically going to happen in 30, 60 or even 90 days. Citizens and residents here in the DR will be sitting in bars and restaurants infecting each other long before foreigners are permitted to come here and add to that problem.
My opinion only, the rest of you can dream about sunshine and lollipops all you want.

I do not know what happened but after a month of cancelations and no more reservations till next christmas we get flooded by reservation requests for next week. All domestic and all saying they are going cracy beeing locked up in Santo Domingo and they hace to take a break in Samana.
i expected domestic tourismo picking up in September...
Rumor is that police is permitting cars to pass for Samana if they wear masks.
as for the location itself- after hearing for years that it is too remote and away from everything and getting complaints all the time that it is too lonely there now finally everyone looking for a place with no one arround..
lets see what is going to happen.
