Coronavirus - In the DR

[malko]

They opened up ednorte office in my village last week....... of course literally dozens and dozens of people queuing up to pay their bills------ even though, apparently, they can't cut off your luz at least to the end of may.

Long story short, one of the office workers was taken away from her house, at night, just before the week-end.
Test results supposedly came back today......positive to covid19.

Oh, and another interesting story/gossip.
Deep campo, farm worker, literally fell face down while out working....... dropped dead.

Official cause of death : mshauwoamakakplakpa.
Family, friends and neighbours smelt B.S.
Asked and paid for covid19 test.
Oooops, a week later they " lost" the sample and are very very sorry........

In his 30's, healthy, 0 known medical problems, farm worker, ie physically tough as hell.

Oh, and yeah, he had been a bit " on the down" for a couple of days prior..... coughing, sweating, headaches, etc......

Again it's unclear what you're on about. You lied and I proved it. Just goes to show what a little judicious use of a search engine can find. That this example was older is irrelevant.

You're either a liar or need to seek professional medical help.

Mods, really, why give him free rein?

You and CB make a fine couple...of feeble attackers

Wow. Apparently i have stirred up a hornet's nest by having the audacity to post something that contradicts a dogma of the far right. I am really making every possible attempt to keep these posts non-political, but some of you guys make that a real challenge. This should have nothing to do with politics or whether you consider yourself to be liberal or conservative. It should be about proven facts. When I ask you to provide a credible reference for what you are posting, you cannot offer a single one but instead tell me to go find them myself. You claim that the experts from all over the world who are conducting these studies simply don't have knowledge of the people on this forum to mix the right cocktail of drugs. I am sorry if the most recent studies contradict everything that you and others of your political persuasion have been pushing. But the fact of the matter is that I wish you were right. I really do. I wish that hydroxychloroquine was proving to be effective against Covid-19. That would be fantastic. We all had our hopes up for a while. But unfortunately HCQ has repeatedly been proven to have at best no impact on outcomes, and at worse to have a detrimental impact on outcomes. It's not me who is saying that - it's the scientists and the doctors and epidemiologists. I am aware of all the stuff out there on the internet claiming that HCQ is a wonder drug. And I am also sadly aware of how political this topic has become. But unfortunately seeing it on the internet or in a Youtube video does not make it true. Perhaps I should just remain silent and make no attempt to correct obvious misinformation, but I believe that the purpose of this forum is help keep people informed. I'm sorry if my failure to accept Fox News as an authority suggests bias to you. But I would say the same about CNN or MSNBC or any other news source if they couldn't back it up with credible evidence.

And lastly, in response to your statement I should investigate what South Korean doctors have found, I decided to take to your advice. And here's just one example of what I found. It is typical of everything else I have found.

But let's put this argument to bed. There are those on this forum who believe what you are saying, and there are others who believe what I am saying. I think it is apparent that nothing that either of us post is going to change that. I have said what I wanted to say, so I will not be responding to any further silly arguments on the topic of HCQ. The hope for HCQ is dead, and that fact has been accepted by most reasonable people. The rest of you are free to hang on to your beliefs, however misguided they may be. Stay safe and stay well.

You are the only person constantly invoking political chatter of a foreign nation. Get over it. Do you have anything to offer in regards to the RD as of right now?

Very clear to all but the ones guilty of spreading fake news and with the tendency to repeat their same point of view 500 times, that my "we're all going to die" posts as you call them were/are clearly opinion based posts. They were all general in nature even if some did foster a short lived discussion after the initial posting. I posted my opinions and quickly and moved on to another specific facet of the topic. Your lumping a bunch of posts dealing with separate topics together into a single theme sows the singularity of your position.

Doesn't surprise me "Mr. this is jut the flu" that you still can't see the difference between my posts and your agenda based posts dripping with condescension and repeated ad nausea as if sheer repetition would ultimately convince those you were failing to convert to the dark side.

Give it up CB, you've anointed yourself "The in Residence Prophet" on this forum on a mission despite not having a flock or a mount to stand on. Your ability to do this in so many threads at the same time indicates lots of time on your hands and a real desire to influence the minds of others - sure sound like you're trying too hard to compensate for the lack of other meaningful pursuits.

Dislike #4.

Not to worry CG,

The professionals initially thought similar to you.

We are still in the initial stages of this virus and are learning new things all the time.

The one thing that stuck with me was a warning and I'll paraphrase here: "Be aware that when the mitigation efforts start to work and the projections go down that people are going to try and use that as proof that we overreacted, not proof that the mitigation efforts worked".

This is true all over the world with the DR definitely included.

Be well and ignore the naysayers

 

[Caonabo]

You don't approve of my posts?

I'm crushed.

Fact is this was NOT the earth-ending pandemic as was first predicted. That YOU predicted.

And the NUMBERS are not much worse than the seasonal flu, especially since we now know exposure was many multiples more by magnitudes than positive tests.

And every model that drove the hysteria have proven not even remotely close to reality.

On those points, I was accurate then, and remain far more accurate than the doomsayers.

Even in the DR it has not expanded as many here predicted, and there are many, many thousands of Dominicans who have not followed the instructions of the gubmint.

We will get past this. I just hope the economy is not destroyed in the process.

It's almost like some of you are angry things are not that bad. I don't understand why you are not very happy the sky is not falling. That's a great thing for everybody!

Where are the riots, looting, corpses piling in the street, and zombies that were predicted by some earlier on? The Doomsday Davies had their say in promoting mass hysteria, which was actually a projection of their own preoccupations and instabilities. Now they try to scale it back.

It is currently 31c/88f at this hour in Casa de Campo. Bright sunshine, and a lovely refreshing light breeze to be had.

Or, as you say, an interesting story, perhaps fable? Why are no local news stations able to provide insight into these "stories"? Not one?

Erroneous quote

What a coincidence. I've been having the same problem. The rash doesn't look like that in the video, but I'm using the same med - permethrin. It went away and has come back again. I've never had any rashes before(?).

I got some rash on upper chest. Itchy at times. Red speckled stuff. Are you using a lot of Clorox to wipe stuff down?

Permethrin is an FDA registered carcinogen. It’s used in low concentrations to treat body lice, scabies, etc. Bug bites and infestations where the bugs have laid eggs on your skin or laid them beneath the surface of your skin. Not commenting on your personal hygiene here Cavok. Just providing usage information. Your rash may be the result of a bug bite or infestation.

The Coronavirus/Covid-19 is very complex and "we're" learning new things all the time. That is to say the real experts, MD's and scientists are seeing new things, even if they can't explain or solve the issues just yet.

"Covid Toes", a new type of pneumonia associated with the virus, loss of taste, blood clots, the list goes on. Thankfully we have people like https://weillcornell.org/jlaurence looking into things as they are discovered.

In this case what's good for the World is also good for the DR.
