Beaches are closed again

[aarhus]

I won't be surprised if the curfew starts at 7 pm Monday-Friday and 2 pm on Saturday and Sunday

I believe the government intends be tough this time.

And I don't think there is any reason to hope that the beaches will stay open.

Does it make any sense then to let tourists travel here ? This is so confusing

 

[Ken]

Yes, if going to an all inclusive.

Ok got it

I'm sure the ones the government is most interested in are the tourists coming for the hotels, not the ones coming for sex with prostitutes over a long weekend

I am also sure this has all been worked out with input from the hotel association.

I agree. I’m thinking the beaches at AIs will be open to guests, otherwise no one would come at all

Nice to see you posting again Ken.

Tonchi...can you show us the "proof" of your "fact"?

When the virus was aerosolized—meaning suspended in the air—the half-life was one hour when the temperature was 70 to 75 degrees with 20 percent humidity.

In the presence of sunlight, this dropped to just one and a half minutes.

How is that, comrade?

Sunlight destroys coronavirus quickly, say US scientists

Maybe not all tourists stay at hotels. Maybe they stay at Airbnb listings which are hurt more by these actions than the hotels

This whole discussion has been about tourists and which will be let in

'Free Range' tourists are questionable

AI 'resort' tourists are welcome

Nothing definitive from the Gov't yet..... but they have intimated as much

Controlled entry - is a good term.... managed tourism

I think that s why local governments like Puerto Plata are closing beaches since not many AI here...

Wearing of the masks is the funniest and the stupidest thing ever . If your underwear and you pants can't stop a fart from getting thru how is the mask gonna stop the virus you can only see under the microscope? 😁 It's nothing but a "we don't know what to do so let's pretend we're doing something" thing. Stupid.

well in this analogy, think wet fart.
a face mask is to catch and slow down moisture droplets when you speak/cough/sneeze...not your bad breathe

if the beach is closed, yet the bar is open, i think they got it backwards.

Will the tourists come

The entire Caribbean can continue to receive British tourism except for the Dominican Republic

<p>SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic.- The list of countries that the UK authorities allow their fellow citizens to travel to, considering the risks of getting the coronavirus to be minor, registered a single change and this was to close travel to Serbia. Everything else remains the same...

One other thing Comrade Caonado,,, I am entitled, so I dont walk to the colmado. I only drive my car to the supermarket. If I want to walk, its on a beach where the exercise and sun will benefit my health..

Since you are an active party member,,,You might take your Lada to the colmado...

Very sturdy and reliable car, well proven in the third world conditions. I was driving it in Cuba a lot and more then once have helped on the road those touristy korean imports.

Yes, if going to an all inclusive.

And if it is just someone arriving who is not going to an all inclusive?

Anyone who arrives on planes during curfew hours?

 

[windeguy]

I personally, could care less where you are from.
Just noting that if you are not an RD citizen, you are not entitled to anything within this country.

Residents have the same rights as citizens minus being able to vote and take part in elections.

Perhaps we will learn more today about the new State of Emergency. Which will accomplish practically nothing.

The government and DR people make more money from the non AI tourists though

 

[william webster]

Does Frank Ranieri care about that ??

[scot_tosh]

Really?
