Well !!! The post was on.around January 20 and PJT's sound advice was based upon covid 19 information at that time. Nobody had a working crystal ball. We all know now health services and governments did not provide representative detail of its harm and proper precautions.

Well, if Trump says so it must be true. He's the expert and knows much better than the qualified professionals!Don’t be so negative on vaccine Trump said by end of yr... moderna shows promise..
Moderna coronavirus vaccine shows 'promising' safety and immune response results in published Phase 1 study, but more research is needed | CNN
A Covid-19 vaccine developed by the biotechnology company Moderna in partnership with the National Institutes of Health has been found to induce immune responses in all of the volunteers who received it in a Phase 1 study.www.cnn.com

On a positive note: I went to Jumbo in San Pedro this morning and this is my observation. There was not one person in there without a mask. Social distances at check out and attempts at it in the aisle. All help including baggers wearing masks.
In the streets, it's hard to put a number of masks ,or no masks, but I'm going to take a guess. IMHO one person in 100 not wearing a mask. This differs substantially from the many pictures and comments posted here in the past.

Bloomberg News has a very positive story on the University of Oxford research team headed by vaccinologist Sarah Gilbert.
The study could be through with human trials of 1100 people in September.
Traditional vaccines use weakened or dead virus to stimulate the immune system.
Gilbert used a viral vector approach with a Trojan horse idea using a harmless virus that causes the common cold in chimps.
She attaches genetic material of Covid to the spike of the chimp virus that then stimulated a persons immune response.
This approach speeds the process and Bloomberg news describes Gilbert as being months ahead of the numerous other companies working to find a vaccine.
The Bloomberg article is available online and is hopeful in a time when we all want to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
This is not a light but could be a glimmer.
I do not have a link but it is easy to find the article which is lengthy.

My impression is that mask-wearing is 100% in supermarkets, clinics, banks, and commercial establishments but people are less disciplined on the streets and in social situations.
I'm taken aback by the nonsense we're hearing from other countries. Wearing a mask is less of an inconvenience than wearing a seatbelt or a motorbike helmet, and most people in those countries comply with those constraints much more unquestioningly than Dominicans!
I can understand someone complaining that it's uncomfortable but not to the point of having a full-blown tantrum in a public place and refusing to wear one.

I see the same in Bella Vista in Santo Domingo. Generally a lot of dicipline around wearing masks, social distancing and using hand sanitizer.
any links for this info? ive been hearing these kinds of rumors for an entire week now

Exactly Chiri...... not difficult at all - a mask
Read some UK news.... they're bitching it will hurt retail..... WRONG!!
The idea of masking is -
1/ to prevent the spreaad
2/ to give the public a form of confidence to get out and resume a type of life
albeit a new type !
Where I have been in the US the past 2 weeks--- you cannot go into ANY store w/o a mask
Strictly enforced !!
It would be nice to know what this requested 45 day S.O.E. actually means. I saw no mention that Medina would be addressing the country to explain. NO mention of a specific curfew other than shops, cafes etc have to close by 8pm. Too much uncertainty. I don't know whether to make a run to the grocery store or if I'll be able to do that another day. Will a new S.O.E. affect the borders. Not enough info being offered by the authorities. Impossible to make any sort of meaningful plans to cope with the coming changes.
It's a character trait of self absorbed people. It's their world, we're just living in it.
Don't know why either, face mask work, there's a news feed about two hairstylist with masks that serviced 116 customers without transmission in Missouri.
