Just more stupid. Noon on Saturdays? That's just retarded.
And how do my dogs go potty? I have to walk them. I don't have a patio. I'm so upset. Where does one go to get the exceptions? I have to see about getting something for the sake of my dogs. If I cannot get something then I will have to take my chances to let my dogs go potty.

Also, the use of parks, boardwalks and churches from January 1 to January 10th is prohibited.

Hopefully people ignore the stupid. We'll see.

I understand the idea of getting groups of people off the streets, but the way the govt is regulating this and the way the authorities is enforcing this is just plain and simple stupid...

I bet they have no dogs to walk, so obviously, they did not think this...

Yes, the next two weekends because with the current SOE that's all they can do... They have no power to say anything further... If the 45 more days are now approved, things may change radically... So once/if they approve that new SOE, then they can say anything up until March 2nd

I called the Policia Nacional and asked them for special permission to take my dogs out in the street in front of my apartment. The man I spoke with said he does not see a problem as long as I am in front of my house and have no other people with me. Problem is I live a block from the Marie Base and near Av. España in Villa Duarte, Santo Domingo Este. Many police and military pass by. I just feel so bad for my dogs. I pray it is only the 2 weekends. I always follow the rules but this new rule is impossible!

Sputnik V is the best candidate for the DR. It has been used since an early time over all others and has shown it continuously protects the ones vaccinated with it in Russia.

It’s developed using a secured long established vaccine 💉 adenovirus vector, much like all vaccines in our modern history. They introduce no changes into our DNA and more importantly, no extreme side effects like others to date.

It was developed at a Nobel laureates lab in Russia. Which has provided excellent emergency vaccines before of world importance, like Ebola and others.

You don’t need the two shots, as one shot alone can provide protection for at least 4 months. This is enough time to eliminate the hot zones and recurring infection in large populations.
After all the incubation period of Covid-19 is less than one month and only 6 days in the majority of cases.

Once the pandemic is eliminated locally, it’s only a matter of a strict inbound arrivals monitoring program (vaccinated passports) to keep any new breakout from taking root in the country.

Sputnik V is the ideal candidate based on this and based on mixing the jabs with others on a later term, to improve the odds.

Period.
Surprised to see you trusting a Russian vaccine that was given to the population without trials.
The vaccines themselves are not all that difficult to design and produce.
What takes time and money is the trials to ensure the safety of the vaccine.

From what I read Russia is currently going through a gigantic spike in Coronavirus cases and is a long way from anything like any local elimination of the pandemic
It is hard to get accurate information out of Russia since there is no free press and its a totalitarian regime.
From what I recall the DR has placed a deposit on the AZ vaccine which went through safety trials.

Since dying from the disease is unlikely it is worth being careful about vaccine choices.

Russia has proven it is adept at poisoning political rivals and ex spies but I would not trust any vaccine with a history of lab development and zero evidence of safety trials.
Even with extensive safety trials the tested vaccines still show surprising sides in hyper allergic persons.
What a vaccine would do to a pregnant women, for example, is still unknown.

I trust vaccines that are trialed.
I get a flu shot yearly and am extremely health conscious.
I would take my chances with the virus before I would trust a Russian or a Chinese vaccine.
Everyone is different and hopefully there will be choices.

I trust Russia’s sourced vaccine not due to their gov but who made it. Very simple!
They have a well polished proven track in the field of vaccines. That the Russian gov used it to further their stance in the political realm means zilch to me.

Just now a nurse vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine 💉 was confirmed to have contracted Covid-19 less than a week of getting the said jab.

We have a non-stop recurrence of serious bad effects on both jabs in use now.

So far the Sputnik jabs report no adverse effects nor any immediate failure upon vaccination of a large scale program of jabs applied.

I trust a proven track record over politics and media control of vaccines.

The third trail was stopped in Russia by the vaccine maker due to the impropriety of faking jabs to test subjects, when they have a proven vaccine that could save their lives.

I applaud that stance taken 100%.

But don’t worry much about Sputnik V, the world is slowly finding about what’s the truth and what’s media manipulation and politics against it.

America’s politics are the politics of deceit.
History has shown us that we can’t trust the gov at any step. They have a proven record to support this.

I hope the DR leadership will overcome politics and procure the Sputnik jab soon, before production is booked well into 2023...

As far as poisoning with a tool that carries your name in it? Do you make Putin for an idiot?

Ever since the first case with the Spies in the Uk, even Germany had proven doubts of their claims.

These events are nothing more than a silent war to isolate Russia from the other countries.
We are not stupid as before...

The US has been using bogus claims to exit every other treaty it signed on nuclear weapons. This is what you do when you are preparing for War.

The prize is Russian landmass home to 30% of the world’s natural resources.

The DR has no voice in this game, but for the short term our best interest lies with Sputnik V.

So curfew on weekends during the current SOE starts at 12pm and continues until 5 am the following morning.... Mon-Fri curfew 5pm-5am with ability to go home until 7 pm... This is going crazy....
What the actual hell??
Do they really expect people to just go hide in their homes at 12pm on a sunny weekend? This government just went batshit crazy.

Exactly. Each SOE can only last 45 days maximum. Within those periods things can change at the whim of the President as he sees fit. Then another SOE is needed for each 45 day maximum period at a time , rinse and repeat through 2021.

For now, I have seen these two notices. The one about not being able to go into a Farmacia is going to be the last straw here. No restaurant will be likely to stay open for take out with such limited hours again.


The following curfew information has been updated on the Embassy Santo Domingo COVID-19 website:
Beginning December 31, the government of the Dominican Republic has issued a curfew nationwide. Failure to follow the curfew, including for U.S. citizens, may result in arrest and/or fines. Full details on the curfew can be found at https://presidencia.gob.do/
December 31: Curfew will begin at 7pm.
January 1-10 (M-F): Curfew from 5pm to 5am, with a grace period for transit until 7pm each day.
January 1-10 (Sa-Sun): Curfew from 12pm to 5am.

Most people are aware that a vaccine injection does not give one immediate immunity. It takes 10 - 14 days to kick in. If Jane is exposed to Covid on Monday and gets a vaccine on Wednesday, Jane could very well be sick with Covid on Saturday or Sunday. The initial reaction would be to blame the vaccine for making Jane sick but that is not how it works. Jane got sick from being infected by another person before the vaccine had a chance to prep her immune system sufficiently to fight off the virus.

Anyone know for certain about pharmacies? The govt website seems to suggest that they will still be open and may offer late night delivery until 11 pm. The notice above seems to suggest that pharmacies will be closed to the public except for delivery. Which is it?
