    Bonao: Falcon Bridge neighborhood (El Barrio de los Gringos)

    Yes. The house I lived in was by the tennis courts and a couple of blocks away from the golf course. I'm going to try to go this summer.

    How many people do you think are really positive for Covid19 in the DR?

    Studies are starting to suggest the immunity might only last a couple of months in some individuals, and the prospect that people could be infected more than once:; https://news.yahoo.com/can-you-get-coronavirus-twice-131237076.html The heat does diminish the virus, but does not ammount to much...

    Bonao: Falcon Bridge neighborhood (El Barrio de los Gringos)

    I think that's it. There are two streets that look like they could be the ones (Arboleda and Buena Vista). How's Bonao these days? Safe to drive around (this was a very nice neighborhood, so it's probably ok)?

    Bonao: Falcon Bridge neighborhood (El Barrio de los Gringos)

    My father worked for the Falcon Bridge copper mine in Bonao when it was operating. During that time, we lived in a company house in Bonao that everyone called El Barrio de los Gringos. I want to go back and visit the house we lived in or at least find it on Google earth. Does anyone know more...

    How many people do you think are really positive for Covid19 in the DR?

    My comment was conditional: the words used were "might" and "may have" since the issue of immunity unknown at this time, but it is more likely that if this virus behaves like others, people will not have permanent immunity to it and could be reinfected. In addition to the passage that I quoted...

    New report that the virus might have already mutated, making it more infectious. Article: https://news.yahoo.com/mutant-coronavirus-emerged-even-more-110046843.html Quote (my emphasis): "In addition to spreading faster, it may make people vulnerable to a second infection after a first bout with...

    How many people do you think are really positive for Covid19 in the DR?

    Supposedly, because this is unknown, and there is certainly no evidence that infection confers immunity. There are articles (google it) or numerous instances of people that had seemingly recovered from an infection that were "re-infected". Nobody knows, but this is likely to be seasonal, like...

    How many people do you think are really positive for Covid19 in the DR?

    I find it amazing how people can espouse the social darwinism policies of the Nazis, the CCP (Google what they are doing to muslims/falung gong)...by saying that it is good that the virus will kill people. That's all great in the abstract, but I wonder if the person that made the comments you...

    How many people do you think are really positive for Covid19 in the DR?

    You have a forrest of tress, with x amount of trees in it (x= total number of trees). A fungus starts infecting some of the trees (infection = i), and killing others (k). You don't have an adequate amount of tests to test the entire forest, so you only test some the trees that are showing...

    How many people do you think are really positive for Covid19 in the DR?

    As others have mentioned, the confirmed numbers of infected and dead are just the tip of the iceberg, and that is true for all countries: https://www.newsweek.com/covid-19-coronavirus-antibodies-infection-higher-1498740?utm_source=spotim&utm_medium=spotim_recirculation Then you have countries...
