My friend saw this on Twitter - doesn't look like suicide to me !
I think the younger generation supporters understand that measures need to be taken ... serious measures.
The announcement above is a softer approach than we had before
We'll see how it all plays out
=================================
"Government works to increase capacity of the health system. Four hospitals, including Ciudad Sanitaria, will be delivered in the next few days
July 15,
The Government will enable 582 additional beds, of which 395 will be for hospitalization and 187 intensive care units (ICU), to serve critically ill patients in the public system, due to the acceleration of COVID-19 infections.
The announcement of the increase in the capacity of the health system in the public and private sectors, as well as other additional measures, was made by the Minister of the Presidency, Gustavo Montalvo, in his capacity as coordinator of the High Level Commission for the Prevention and Control of Coronavirus.
Bonao, Neyba, Barahona and Sanitary City hospitals will be delivered soon
He also reported that the hospitals of Bonao, Neyba, Barahona and the Luis Eduardo Aybar Sanitary City, in the National District, will be delivered in the coming weeks, which will significantly increase the capacities of our health system.
Increased physician fees and contributions for protective equipment
Regarding the private sector, he said that the agreement between the Association of Private Clinics (ANDECLIP) and the health risk managers (ARS) has been updated, with the intermediation of the Superintendence of Health and Occupational Risks (SISALRIL).
He specified that the fees of specialists who care for patients with COVID-19 will be increased, adding pediatricians and gynecologists, in addition to the previously included doctors.
"The contribution for personal protective equipment will also be increased to an estimated total of RD $ 247 million per month, of which the ARS would contribute around RD $ 143 million pesos per month and the rest will be covered by the Social Security System and the Government".
The coordinator of the High Level Commission estimated that with these agreements it is expected that the number of beds in private health centers for COVID-19 patients can be increased to 166 for hospitalization, 32 for ICU and 23 with additional ventilators, in the short term.
Identification of highly vulnerable people throughout the country
He said that the Government has carried out a study throughout the country to find the people most vulnerable to COVID-19 and is carrying out a rationalization of resources, evaluating if there are patients who do not really need to be in an ICU and could go on to occupy a normal bed.
"After carrying out this first identification of 15,986 highly vulnerable people, we will proceed to give them personalized monitoring of their state of health and the conditions of their environment."
New laboratory with a capacity of 2,000 daily tests
Gustavo Montalvo reported the start-up, in the coming days, of a molecular biology laboratory, with the capacity to carry out up to 2,000 tests a day."

Damn 5 minute rule is stupid - too short
Damn 5 minute rule is stupid - too short
For every State of Emergency thus far, the President has waited until after it was granted to announce what measures would be taken. He could say what will happen any time after it is approved tomorrow, Friday. Whatever he does, it will certainly not stop CV19. If we have not learned anything it is that there is no law, rule or regulation that a country can impose that people will tolerate that will stop CV19.
Yes lying down playing dead is so much better
How’s it working out for your home country today let’s save this discussion for another 3 weeks Let’s hope common sense kicks in not political racism so world can heal so we can argue about illegal overstayers and why bother with residency I suspect the vaccine will take the form of a 90 day shot. It's definitely worth it for the front line workers, at-risk groups, and travelers. It might also work on exposed individuals, but would need validation.
It’s slow time....come on windy better now in hopes of saving busy time...nobody will come to out of control covid island , well few Americans ain’t going to save economy now
They will have to borrow money. I'm from the UK we have borrowed £350 billion to see us over this pandemic so far.
Theyve already borrowed millions for the IMF. Who knows what theyve done with it.
Vaccines do not provide immunity - not even guaranteed protection
Think of the Flu shot.... helps you avoid it - works totally for some -
softens the effects somewhat....
total protection - I don't think so

Bad analogy. Flu is a different animal because of the wide range of strains and they create of cocktail of multiple vaccines hoping to hit the expected strains 10 months in the future. Better than nothing, but as you point out, it's hit and miss depending on the year.
Covid-19 has strains as well, but they haven't diverged very far at this point (but they may in the future). However, effectiveness is something still to be established.
Until something is established....
I say my comment withstands the test as the present is
This virus morphs like none of the scientists have ever seen - from what I read
Far more complicated than the common flu
You make it sounder less complicated...
Where's Fauci when we need him !!???
haha
I thought covid was slow mutating? And that was good thing , flu rapidly mutates ? Flu vaccines are hard to make because it is guessing game for strains to use vaccines are made 8-12 months before flu season.. they change now opinion?
Some people think regulations can stop this virus. There is no explaining to them that it won't, despite being able to see what is happening right in front of their eyes. Regulations will only slow it down for a while.Yes lying down playing dead is so much better
I agree with this. It may sound odd but the DR on the one hand sounds way behind other countries but maybe on the other hand we are ahead. Those places that have “eliminated” the virus or have it under control. How long will that last and how long can they stay closed and will it really work isolating tourists.
