Covaxin from India and Sinovac from China target all 29 proteins of the virus versus the Spike protein only approach used by Pfizer, Moderns, etc... This should result in a protection that is less affected by mutations. I am not as familiar with the Sinovac product, but I personally would be...

Interesting article. These supplements are widely available in both Canada and the US. You can even buy many of them on Amazon! Surely Zinc and vitamin D are available in the RD? Vitamin D2 is really important, maybe as important as most of those exotic supplements. The one ingredient that is...

Even when you take that lag into account mortality is way down, virtually everywhere. The PCR test was, apparently, never meant to be a diagnostic tool, but rather a research aid. Very few countries have provided rates for false positives and false negatives. Testing is a really weak link in...

When the government says curfew, what do they mean? Do you have to remain inside, or can you sit outside on a balcony, your yard, etc...?

If you don’t have accurate information then you can’t say much. This is true all over the place. Interesting numbers are excess deaths. When you look at those virtually all governments look pretty bad. As far as trusting Canadian data, I’d like to know the incidence of false negatives and false...

It’s possible that a mask might reduce the amount of virus, though a virus is really small so who knows. In any case having a virus is not the same as having an illness due to that virus. The body apparently has a lot of viruses, some scary, at any given time.This virus has provoked an almost...

Not sure why the numbers of pcr positives matter. Those progressing to covid and dying are the numbers that are more important. The lethality rate in the DR is actually pretty low, compared to Canada, for example. In addition, there seems to be access to ivermectin, zinc and doxycycline which...

There is a Dr. Redondoin In the DR who seems to know a lot about Ivermect and its use with covid-19. Most doctors know little about dealing with this infection, and that’s a worldwide problem. I’m sure you are aware of this link of a Dr Marek of Virginia in the US. I saw him interviewed on the...

A bit chilly, but nice, up here. Not quite palm tree weather! Really like the Samana region of the country. Would love to spend two months each winter ( am retired) but it seems that 30 days is the max and extensions are now complicated?
