Maybe it is just to get past the elections just like last time and then new policies will be announced afterwards. Opening economy and keep border open but with more restrictions.

Yes I agree.. this is what I predict will happen. I think it would be crazy to close borders again right away so that I agree will stay open but restrictions hopefully back on other things soon, especially big crowds in indoor spaces! Silliness!

My question is -
Suppose the governing party changes - it will be a few weeks before they assume office

Who decides and legislates until then?
How does a 'Lame Duck' govt govern?.......in times like this where decisions are necessary

My wife has said the same thing. I went and voted and at my location they were an hour and twenty minutes late opening because people for one of the tables were late arriving. Once opened it was very fast as I was the third in line at my table. My wife votes at the high school and there are people scurrying in every direction there, like ants. Hopefully she won't be too long.

Eventos sociales: Así serán las celebraciones en la nueva normalidad


So this doesn't address the article I mentioned. If 42% of deaths noted as from the virus "probably " were from the virus per Salud Publico, then for sure the number of deaths are inflated. Plus, no surprise to THINKING individuals median age 65 and one third with pre-existing heart problems and 20+% diabetic. I was on the beach in Sosua yesterday enjoying the beach, water, a few cold ones and friends. You for sure should stay locked down at least until 2021,

Reports are coming in that antibodies are lasting a very short time in people that have been exposed to (as in had some level) of CV19
That is the first piece of bad news that was presented in a Canadian newspaper I read recently.

I will ask you a question based upon CV19 being a corona virus: For what Corona Virus has an effective vaccine been developed?
I have no idea. That's why I asked you the source of information related to "it will be a long time".

I knew from day one that a virus this contagious would not go anywhere if there was no herd immunity and/or no effective vaccine.
What I am seeing now is that there is no long term immunity and little chance a vaccine will be developed.

After the world tried shutdowns for months and failed, none of that is surprising to me at all. What more "catching on" do I need now?
Not everyone failed my friend... Canada doing great..to bad strongest country in the world blew it so bad over politics!

I don’t think it’s the right move for DR to close border again or ban countries. But maybe more restrictions and have tourists abide by them to. We have to live with it and find a way of living with it together with tourism. Visitors should have health insurance.

What kind of restrictions? The way I see it either you shut everything down or you open everything up. Otherwise you're doing nothing on either side of this thing

How do you feel about another curfew?
That could be if the health care system is overwhelmed. I don’t know if that is possible though and can that work with tourism. I don’t know. But I think tourism will be limited anyway and the DR has to let the people travel here with properties, business or family and I don’t think they can administer that and better just open up for all visitors. With the border its either close it or open it.

unless u ban countries that are out of control majority of people won’t come no matter how safe politicians say DR is ... majority of people aren’t stupid no matter what a leader of country says... this is Slow time John why risk allowing out of control countries in to make matters worse right now...what a waist of 3 months of quarantine to ruin it in a month of foreign travellers from trouble spots in slow time.. short term gains long term losses
