Public Health Minister Daniel Rivera says that Covid-19 is now endemic to the Dominican Republic. Speaking in Salcedo, Hermanas Mirabal province, as part of the activities connected to the “Ruta de Salud” program created by the Ministry, Rivera urged people to understand it is another of the diseases the country needs to learn to live with and prevent. The Ministry has flu and Covid-19 vaccines to prevent the spread of the virus. The Minister says that people should not be alarmed with unfounded rumors that circulate on social media.

Mask in crowds
I prefer to avoid crowds

Be sensible in your bday to day activities
Continue wearing a mask as a placebo - but it has been proven to be useless. Yes they conditioned the masses to mask up.

They now are saying it's less healthy because you are breathing back your own CO2.

When you wear a mask you may be protecting yourself from other peoples' virus droplets that are out there.
Perhaps, even more importantly you are protecting others from any of your own virus droplets.
It's a two way street.
Give and take.
Now that the initial Covid scare has passed it is only a matter of time before the next killer virus makes an appearance.
The frightened will be even more frightened.
The skeptics will be more skeptical.
And the cynics will run amok.
C'est la vie.
Hope springs eternal.

Is the "City Journal" recognised as a source of information in the medical and scientific communities?
