When will DR open for International travel??????

[NY-DR Commuter]

Then first explain how 60 % of all NEW Cases of Covid were people who self Quarantined since the beginning of the outbreak . Self quarantined ... read it one more time .

Let me clarify, 6 feet ( the accepted current definition of Social Distancing) does absolutely NOTHING to prevent being exposed .. being on a Deserted Island , yes, that would certainly work.. being in a town with ZERO cases of Covid , yes that would work... But if you are out in public, among infected people, 6 feet does not protect you. this is not hogwash , this is a proven fact .Or perhaps 6 feet in the DR is different from the rest of the world ?

Here is the definition of Social Distancing according to the CDC.

Social distancing, also called “physical distancing,” means keeping space between yourself and other people outside of your home. To practice social or physical distancing:

Stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people

Do not gather in groups

Stay out of crowded places and avoid mass gatherings

If you believe this hasn't been effective and does "absolutely NOTHING" to prevent being exposed, perhaps a little further investigation and less keyboard pounding is in order.

Simply HAVING the Corona Virus makes one an expert??? Really???

Social Distancing is no MYTH and is doing exactly what the scientific and medical community expected, reducing the immediate burden on the health care system, thus saving lives.

"100% of the population will be exposed"?? 100%??? And "there is ZERO probability that you will not be exposed to it." ZERO???
Those are some pretty absolute numbers, care to share with the laity how you came up with those percentages.

The CDC DID NOT admit touching surfaces and getting infected was a MYTH. What they actually stated was that after further investigation, contact surface spread was less likely than originally predicted. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm sure many people are getting their information from "MSM" but what I would like to know is where are you getting yours.

Stay ignorant.

No , but Listening to People who directly communicate with the President of 17 Hospitals here in NJ makes me a Good LISTENER..
and I certainly value their " Professional opinions" based on the FACTS more than yours ..

" Exposure " to the Virus does not mean you will GET the virus ... we have actual cases here where a family of 10 in the same household , and only ONE person got the Virus . Living in the same house .. ZERO Social distancing .. how do you explain that away ? . You cant , because you only know what you see on the Media , which is complete BS.'
Listen to Real Doctors, listen to people on the front Line ... This weekend there were many Memorial day BBQ's ... one of those we know personally were First Responders & Doctors & Nurses , not a single Person wore a Mask .. not one.. Dozens of people in one backyard , all very experienced people .
yeagh, imma go with THEIR opinion on this this whole "wear a mask, keep 6 feet away Krap"
dont worry , its not your fault , you just have not been brought up to speed yet .. you will catch up eventually ..

"Listening to People" . . .

"who directly communicate" . . .

"with the President of 17 Hospitals here in NJ" . . .

"MAKES ME A GOOD LISTENER" . . .

"a family of 10 in the same household, and only ONE person got the Virus."

"Memorial day BBQ's" . . .with "First Responders & Doctors & Nurses , not a single Person wore a Mask"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Memorial day BBQ's, families of 10 in the same house, listening to people who communicate with hospital presidents . . .

Nice anecdotes.

I'm sure you're a wonderful "LISTENER".

By the way.

Did you also stay at a Holiday Inn Express?

 

[aarhus]

My best guess is still August for international travel

(THIS IS MOUTH DIARRHEA AND FALSE)

Let me clarify, 6 feet ( the accepted current definition of Social Distancing) does absolutely NOTHING to prevent being exposed
(RIGHT. THERE WOULD BE 20M CASES ALREADY IN THE US IF NOT FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING)

a tourist in Austria also pays per night just for a non AI accomodation of the comfy mid class more than 3 days all inclusive cost in DR, often even with airfarecounted in, lol.
completely different kind of vacation, different kind of destination, different kind of clientel.
such additional costs teh averageAI Traveler to the Caribbean will not accept to be added to the package pricing.

Depends, as the flight from Europe is not that cheap and is going to be much less cheap now - pricewise its the same ballpark in total costs. I get it, that the AI run on a much smaller margin so giving a covit test freebe or testing the staff is no option. However from the European customer point of view of total price DR is competing with Austria.
Maybe moving to higher price segment needed. i have been to a AI for 600 USD per night, can tell you lot of placed cheaper then that in Europe...

 

[austriaco]

I personally wouldn't mind sealing off the AIs. Maybe even chip tracking for these buffet mongers to make sure they don't get out and escape to Cab/Sosua to pursue their life long sanky/puta palm tree dream.

Then you have to quaranteen all the staff too. If not that pueblo bavaro will be one big hotspot mess with the 1000s employees living there and from there it spreads all over the country when the working mum visits the child in Santo Domingo. Never taken Bavaro Express? Its full of AI employees going to Santo Domingo.

If you're moving abroad on a permanent basis, you'll no longer automatically be entitled to medical treatment under normal NHS rules. This is because the NHS is a residence-based healthcare system. You'll have to notify your GP practice so you and your family can be removed from the NHS register

This is true for most European countries.If you keep the Residence there and continue to pay the taxes you continue to receive all benefits. They dont generally check if you really are still living there as long as you pay and wont really care if you are DR resident too. However most people do the oposite trick, trying to not be resident anywhere. With the exception of US citizens the tax depends on you residency and if you like to pay twice tax you can have two residencies...question is if that clever and depends on your income ... no income no tax

Announce in July that international travel will begin slowly in August.

Latin America is now the 'epicenter of the outbreak,' says health official | CNN

Latin America has surpassed Europe and the United States in the daily number of reported Covid-19 infections, the director of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said Tuesday, putting the region at the center of the global outbreak.

Take extra caution... we all knew DR cant not handle this type of out break.....

A recent study from an Antarctic cruise ship showed 80% of it's affected people showed no symptoms.

Having it can mean both things - sick or not visibly sick

Cruise ship study shows that 80 per cent of Covid-19 cases on board were asymptomatic

Of 217 passengers and crew on board 128 tested positive for the coronavirus and of those 104 did not have symptoms

www.telegraph.co.uk

 

[austriaco]

So basically no passengers would qualify.

Why? A recent negativ PCR test is entry requierement right now to Austria Arriving by flight. There is a Lab in the airport doing PCR with result in 3 hours for like 200 Euros. They are the most profitable lab in the country I guess...

This can be done and is done.

It will be pure magic for a while, until International travel resumes in quantity, to experience almost deserted mother nature DR

Listen to Real Doctors, listen to people on the front Line

actually yes if you instead listening to first responders and any doctors start listing to the guy who is the expert for corona viruses stuying them for years and beside of science running a actual lab too and the guy beeing the one who developed the first test for this virus in the world:

he explained the low rate of infection in some housholds that there is more and more evidence that there is Only a very short periode before the first symptoms when the virus is massively spread. If for example the spreadee has been out for work during that 8 hours or not had close contact during that time he can not infect others in the house. It seems to be a false assumption that a person is highly infectios many days - maybe infectious but highly contagious only a shorter time frame. If that person was in a bar ot church in that highly infectious timeframe there can be 100+ infections.

this Corona viurs specialist ranted that there are 1000 doctors out there with no cornona virus experience giving the most ridiculous opinions just because they are doctors. He would not give advice about any other virus less about bacteria. But there is too many experts out there with no qualifications in the field giving opinions.

basically your first responders arehoping they will not meet mr. superspreader that day. Its like playing lottery.

Funny, I see these sunrise posts on Everything febu, but the irony is you cant see from these pics how polluted and smelly Cab bay really is

Ok short version translation:

you can not seal off the AIs tourists to preven the virus spread because for every tourist there is a dominican working in the AI who will be infected too. And those dominicans live Outside the AI in Bavaro pueblo and will infect the rest of the country
