I see you edited out my 1,000 a day statement
That's what is needed - to curtail the case increases and sadly - that calls for tighter adherence to the protocol
The distancing, the travel restrictions, the curfew
I don't like it any more than you do....
We here had too much too soon -- just like some of the states in the US
and we are paying the price ....
Europe is a good example for us here.. not the Home of the Brave....
============================================================
My friend says it well here - to quote him ~~~~~~
All the signals are very bad and especially in the capital and Santaigo where hospitals are filling up quickly with cases and intensive care too.
I wrote that we could expect this after the crazy phase 1 opening and we could easily see 1000 plus cases per day now with enough tests.
With an election coming up it will only get worse.
We are heading in the wrong direction like all of the Americas except Canada and Costa Rica. We couldn't take the pain and the virus is now thriving in conditions of high mobility and places here where social distancing is being ignored.
We are entering the 'selfish phase' where we people do what they like until they realize the severe consequences on society, and then they will simply have to clamp down on mobility and self distancing in all its forms again.
It so sad that DR didn't follow the proven routes of Asia, Europe (except basket case Sweden) and the NE states such as NY and NJ, to take the pain until the virus was sufficiently supressed and open up slowly and regain some level of normality.
Unfortunately this IS NOT ABOUT SAVING LIVES.
This is about the PLD holding on to power and
stealing as much money as they can under this
SOE. If any of you think otherwise, I almost feel
sorry for you. Saving lives? Oh yeah, why don't
they start by putting stop signs at intersections?
Saving lives? Why did the Minister of Health recently
speak out due to the FACT they were barely included
in the new government budget to recieve funds in order
to help "save lives" and fight this virus? ITS A JOKE and
YOU SIR ARE THE PUNCH LINE.
