It's so hard to know where to go. You're sick after all, you can't wander around aimlessly going from one place to another looking for treatment.

You ok buddy you seem worried lately...:(

Full hospitals, lots of new infections, and a bunch of DR process stuff that isn't going my way has me on edge these days. I am really worried about getting sick and falling through the cracks. Then I read that patients in hospitals need someone to look after them and I am lacking in that department too. All very depressing and a bit overwhelming if you let get to you.

The only place I would think of checking myself into would be Cedimat. Cdn, you're tougher than that. Try meditation. Vipasana.

You only need someone to look after you in the public hospitals - not the private clinics, and a public hospital would be the last place I would want to go if I were sick.

I was in CMC just a week ago. Didn't ask if they had any beds available, but it was a very relaxed atmosphere. Didn't seem like any crisis in there(?).

China guaratees $1 billion loan to Latin America and the Caribbean for Covid-19 vaccine
Although the vaccine ist not ready yet and the scope its of protection, once developed, is not certain, at least the financing should not pose a problem to the Latinos and the Carribeños.
In the virtual meeting yesterday (Dominican Republic participating) China's Foreign Minister said that the vaccine developed in his country will be a public benefit of universal access, and that his country will designate a loan of $1 billion to support access

Not true or at least not true in all clinics. When I was In clinica Abreu last year. I had to have some one there. CEDIMAT no but lots of difference between those two.

Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment.
Is this not correct?
For COVID-19, data to date suggest that 80% of infections are mild or asymptomatic, 15% are severe infection, requiring oxygen and 5% are critical infections, requiring ventilation. As time goes on, I expect the 80% to increase a bit and the other numbers to drop a bit as the old and infirm who are infected in nursing homes become smaller parts of those infected.

Well, you can't manage what you can't measure, and you can't measure what you believe doesn't exist. That's why we're in the situation that we're in the Americas. If we could pull in one direction and fight the pandemic, it would be under control (like Europe) in a few weeks.

I recommend you spend some time with people that had had it (myself included). It's real enough, but I hope it doesn't get real for you.

A few weeks? Your timing is a tad off.

This thread line has been active for roughly 6 months. Our first SOE in RD began 4 months ago.
How many members of this community have contracted the illness? A handful. Yes, you can count on one hand. Fortunately, all are still with us.
How many have been impacted by the measures implemented to try and hide from this virus?
