Well, lot of fresh air, live coral reefs and big turtles swimming around. Went fishing outside Encuentro one day, we feeded a big family with that catch.
I know you have posted that you do not like almost nothing Everything, hate surf dudes and kiters.
But do not follow up that subject on this thread about when international travel starts up again. Start a new thread.
Wish you a great day
Hide of hard to figure out who that superspreader is until after the fact, based on what you just wrote.
Yes
you can have many contacts without problems till you meet the wrong guy at the wrong time - and maybe then your mask will not be enough unless its a good one and maybe 6 feet is not enough either.
And dont kiss infected people even in their less infectious days - it still enough to catch if you do that...
the theory that (social distancing) is saving the world as portrayed by the media is poppycock
Good Morning all, UPDATE: I just checked www.aa.com and the flights that were starting on June 4th into Puerto Plata have now been removed until July 7th. The JetBlue flight I have booked into Santo Domingo June 1st is still confirmed but that could change anytime, will keep you updated.
A question for you all in DR. I read this morning that the President has asked for another 25 days of emergency power and the senate has confirmed. However, the Chamber has vowed not to approve the extension. So, if an agreement for the extension is not reached. What happens? General thoughts on this as a whole?
Here's a copy of today's NOTAM's. No changes: https://aip.idac.gob.do/Datos/Aviso_NOTAM/AvisoNotamVigente.pdf
I have a ticket on American for the same day and the rep told me the same thing. we’re just going to have to wait and see what happens .
I have no crystal ball...
-Borders will not open until the resorts are ready to accept tourists, therefore, those intending to reopen need to clean, do maintenance and restock. This could take awhile. Most resorts will qualify as a large business needing more employees to get ready than are allowed to resume operations during phase 1.
-Borders and foreigner entry are covered under different legislation than the constitution upon which a S.O.E. declaration is required to override those provisions (ie not a constitutional right except for citizens it looks like).
-The borders could be one of the last items to reopen. Gatherings of groups of people are still being actively discouraged. Resort bars & restaurants are not particularly conducive for physical distancing nor is the a la carte menu option for the vast majority of diners on any given night - buffets fed more people each day than all the a la carte restaurants combined. Big changes will likely be needed and many of the past feeding options will need to be overhauled.
-Travelers will not travel so long as there are quarantine measures in effect upon their return home - no employer is going to allow newly returned employees to be off for an extra 7 - 14 days.
-I anticipate that by the time the DR gets to the point when reopening the borders is scheduled to come up for consideration, the infection numbers will be too high to proceed.
-Tourist travel to the DR is at the moment an unrealistic expectation (imo) and those who keep rescheduling flights or are basing their decisions on automated flight schedule reservations are wasting their time and in some cases their money by hedging their bets.
I find it incredible that we are still discussing this after some 2000+ posts. Only the Govt knows what it will eventually do and when. Until then, watch the infection numbers. As the number of active cases increases and the rate of that increase speeds up, the less likely it will be that the borders will be opened for all but essential travel and citizen repatriation. If I had to guess, maybe in the Fall.

Or 0.5% of those infected will die which seems much closer to the real world numbers of infection rate deaths. 0.5% is not really very close to 50%.
Nurses demand personal protective equipment
<p>Santo Domingo.- The Dominican College of Nursing Professionals (CODOPENF) and the National Union of Dominican Nursing Services (UNASED) on Wednesday demanded that the Minister of Public Health, provide them with protective equipment They said that Rafael Sánchez Cárdenas is exposing the lives...dominicantoday.com
Ready for open you must be crazy.... if this virus hits bad it will wipe out half the island....they are not prepared...this article tells you that..
People will only stay sequestered for so long.
Joel , thank you for the post from your perspective. I do wonder how the airports will be open in June when the government published a schedule that they will open on July 1 at the earliest. And independently from that , a spokesman for Aerodom indicated that POP airport might not open until late 2020 or early 2021 for regular passenger traffic, since it will not be profitable to do so until enough airlines are actually willing to fly there. It is certainly confusing information, at best.
Good morning, I completely agree. At this point in time it's like reading tea leaf's and it would seem each agency or department is saying different things.
More confusing information, Punta Cana says July 1st
I expect that, within the next couple days, you will see a notam that extends that date for another two weeks or more.
PUJ will be ready for commercial operations on July 1st. That was discussed a little while back.
Stop chasing media headlines and completely ignore social media. This is the DR. Here, the left hand never knows what the right hand is doing and the media gets it wrong more than they get it right.
The Same media which believed in the beginning, ( not even sure where they came up with the complete BS story as they obviously did ZERO Fact Checking ) , and even some of us , including myself ,even fell for it for a short time ? that this Virus came directly from a BAT , to a Human in a couple weeks ..
Doing Minimal research we find out this is Mathematically impossible .. that it came from a LAB... which lab , we have no proof yet, but 100% it did not spread from Bat to Human in such a short time ..
but if you post anything like this , too soon ,before the masses have had time to digest the slop they consume from the MSM, and rest their brains .. you are called a " Conspiracy , Tin Foil Hat Nut"..
Extremely credible Virologists , people who have devoted their Lives to their field of Expertise, are being krapped on by Know it all CNN watchers ( u can include Fox too , if you like)
and if you try to " break off a slice of Knowledge" ( Gorgon Copyright) ... for actually doing the reading and a little research for them ,, their Brains cant handle it .
and its now offensive to them. How dare you try to share what you have learned from CREDIBLE SOURCES. ( ie NOT the media)
i have officially registered residencies in Germany and DR.
there is zero tax-wise negative to keep both.
as a German I have to pay Taxes at the country where I produce/earn the money.
in my case that is the DR, so my taxes are paid here in DR, where i anyways live full time since ever.
yesGermany is entitled to taxes on any income produced in Germany.
I get every year my German Tax-Paper send to my German address.
I fill it out with no income shown, as i don't produce any money in Germany, all is fine, no harm done, no extra tax money paid.
ifi would cometo germany for a lengthy time frame, I would let ém know my presence and be coveredfor that time under insurance and other benefits.
I never used any of those social scurity benefits, as i am the ole fshioned kind who does not use the community's resources when not needed.
so whe i visit with my daughter for our 7 weeks summer rbeaks, i just take our travel insurance for med for around1 Euro per day, which proofed over the year to be a great one to work with,and stay there at the own house as a Vacationer, not a Citizen.
it fits my vacay laziness, no forms to fill in no nothing, just buy the ticket, hop on a plane and enjoy the stay.
