When will DR open for International travel??????
- Status
It was a reference to the tourism Minister's comment that we'll be open in a month. But I was a little loopie yesterday.
I agree that social distancing is going to make more waves of CV-19 extremely likely.
CV-19 will only die down if there is herd immunity.
As to travel, tourism and those parts of life, I will wait and see what happens.
Tonight President Medina will speak at 8 AM about the threat business owners made about opening this coming Tuesday even without government permission.
YESTERDAY !!????
Just yesterday.........????
Chronic loopiness............
hahaha
social distancing will not make a difference in case of more waves.
when such viruses come frequently, likea flu comes back every winter,
they come in modified strings, no prior infected human will be immune to the new string,
so if it acts that awaited way, Herd Immunity will never happen.
we have to take care about our elderly and health wise bad up family/friends/neighbours and strangers so long til a years long tested and several times modified vaccine is available for EVERYONE.
a first vaccine for the Masses will not be available before Fall/Winter 2021, due the simple need of different testing stages, lasting several months each stage.
professionals fear that political pressures could force them to bring a vaccine out already as early as new years/January 2021,
"fear" because They know that such herd vaccinating without the proper test phases pinned in their statistics, will kill many, just to please political views/wishes.
and to date Nobody could tell for how long a prior infected human will stay immune.
we already had reinfections in several countries of the planet, so the immunisation may not exceed a 3 months time frame, maybe even less, for the average Joe within the masses, with some exceptionally immunized to last double or tripple that time and also the exceptionally less lasting immunized ones who will spread it out again after just a few weeks.
hence a Immunization Pass is complete useless BS.
this whole thing is still way too new to Know all that stuff about it.
in a few years the Virologists will have some first worthy statistics, to start to predict COVID19 related stuff for the future, modify vaccines for the next season/wave/how ever it may come and go.
by then we may already have passed COVID20, 21, ....
looking back on the viral outbreaks of the last 2 decades,
I would see the need for a "New Normal" in case of our social interactions.
I sadly don't believe a Old Normal will ever come back to be in place as the norm again.

Sorry about the typo , yes 8 PM tonight for some updates.
WW, I concur with your comments about herd immunity, waves, vaccines, etc. We just have no way to stop such air born virus's effectively.
Now that US Sailors have been determined to have been reinfected, there is at least some doubt that herd immunity could be achieved.

He sad that DR will be ready in a month...meaning with procedures for comeback of tourism not opening in month ..
meaning to be ready with procedures to be run on Local Tourism without any mentioning of border openings or such.
and only if Government see's the local situation as ready for such local tourism resort openings in a month.
we will see.
in case of intl toruism with open borders, i dont see that happening safely before summer's end as the earliest.

Normally science takes years to formulate cause & effect & cure
In this, they are being asked to do it 'on the fly'.... and they aren't good at it
We are 'winging it'.... flying blind... driving out of the rear view mirror
Call it what you will
The future is hard to see

thank god no more "old normal" ,do away with the salad bars in the grocery stores with community tongs and people sticking their fingers in to have a little sample. No more disgusting breakfast buffets that some gastroenterologist probably designed so their industry would have a patient increase of a thousand percent with people suffering from gastroenteritis and norovirus. Airlines are now sanitizing cabin surfaces because the neanderthal that bought a 99 dollar plane ticket sitting in couch has not washed his hands since Reagan was in office and insists on touching everything and slobbering on the window when he is sleeping. Plastic shields between me and the cashier that has had relations with every other employee in the store. I am cool with no more "old normal"
exactly.
and a lasting herd immunity never been achived on any such/similar virus spreads, ever.
it always is achieved as a short term feature only,
because once a certain amount of a population(somewhere 60-70%) is immune, the spread slows near a stop,
which give's the hospitals/medical assistances a break, stops clinics to be overrun
and give's the scientists time to fulfill the time line necessary to bring out a safe and working vaccine for the masses.
looking on the nmbers of tests done/infected-immunized detected, it looks like we are very far away from any herd immunization.
and anyways, considering the high %%% of elderly and immune-system-wise vulnerable citizens in the different countries,reaching such 60-70% infection point(herd immunity)would mean that a worst horror scenario already passed, mother nature will have made this species a waaay younger one on average then.
and less overpopulated on this lil planet, with healthier pension cashiers funds ......
No Way that such could be a serious goal to achieve.
but, of course, there are some nucklehead politicians who would aim for such.
Good news, it isn't that many sailors out of thousands like 4-5 Thousand. And over 1,300 have tested positive with 1 CV19 related death.
Looks like DT is poking the bear, or at least putting the question front and center.
