Answer me this, if masks work why is there a reason to close the economy?
Some normal activities of the economy need be curtailed in order to prevent super spreader events. Movies theaters, concerts, etc...
If you reduced the potential large spots of spreading the virus, you can mitigate the severity of its pressure to the health care services and its collapse.
Much the nights activities involve social gatherings and drinking (without masks to protect).
The banking industry had been very careful to protect their specialized members from death
As they are very hard to train and experience can’t be build overnight on new hires. Reason why we see so few service agents at the institutions.
It’s a very hard thing to do.
I agree to the curfew being extended from Dec 1st until Jan 30th from 5 am to 11 pm 7 days a week. Keep the masks on policy at all times and enforced harshly. Monitor hot spots and come down hard on violators.
The DR is doing a far better job than most countries today, save for an exemplary few.
The USA is facing hard days ahead, lots of people that didn’t need to die will leave empty holes in families for a long time. Compare that to the DR and it’s budget in relation to each other?
I don’t blame the policies but the actual people that lack common sense, in a time when science is so advanced. Imagine if this was a chemical or bio weapon attack? Is this how people will react?
Two weeks we should had Shut down the whole country with military on the streets. Health ministry checking all homes. Providing free food to households during that period. We would had exterminated the virus in the DR.
Now we need to rebuild the economy from scratch. Period.
