Covid: Zero Dominican deaths in 4 days

As with most things in the world there are variations, and people tend to find what they want to use, and keep repeating it even if it's not the whole picture. Thank you for expanding on such points and making them more complete and realistic.
Masks with a valve are not recommended. Surgical masks are much better than most. Properly fitted N95 tpye masks, without the value are also excellent but, most people don't even know how they should be fitted and because of the cost they also tend to reuse and use for longer than recommended. Even triple layer cloth masks with or without additional filters are better than much of what most wear.
The bottom line is masks, the right ones, which are now easily available, fitted properly and changed often are with social and physical distancing the cornerstones of keeping the infected to a minimum and manageable level.
Vaccines, with boosters, (and almost all of the vaccines) are virtually equally useful in minimizing the spread and severity of Covid. The accepted outcome and hope of all of this is to make the maximum number of people more likely to survive Covid and the added bonus of keeping the hospitals from getting overloaded again. Hundreds of thousands of "elective" surgeries have been postponed and cancelled just in NA which should give an indication of how overtaxed the hospitals are and have been.
To deny this is to deny science.
Had Covid. I'm more concernerd about the tax reforms they are going to roll out next year.
Some of you guys take the mask thing really seriously. I wear them till I lose them or someone hands me a new one. My last one went 6 months. I figure after 4 vaccines I am pretty much immune and could care less about the unvaccinated. It's their choice to vaccinate or not. Get with the program or #%$# off.
I was against the vaccine program when it came out but science convinced me to get vaccinated. If we believed our world leaders, once we hit 70% vaccination then herd immunity would kick in. Most developed nations are well over 80% vaccinated and yet we still have to wear masks so we don't infect the 20% of stupid people.
I say f##k them. It's time to move on. All the data on the new variant shows it's not much more than the common cold. If you are vaccinated you have no worries. If you are not,well it was nice knowing you.

I had Covid in Feb 2020. I caught it on a cruise ship coming back to the DR. At the time I thought it was just a bad flu bug.
I still think masks are a complete waste of time. Just show some basic manners. Cough and sneeze into your shirt, stay home if you are sick. Don't crowd other people's space.
Basically grow a brain. Quit doing stupid shit. If you are sick stay home. Quit looking to the so called world leaders to get us out of this, they have no intestinal fortitude. If they had more than 2 brain cells they would not be in public office.

I too had it last year in Samana. However I drank enough Brugal to float a cruise ship and got through it. I got a sinovac with 2 Pfizer and now I'm unstoppable.
I self medicated. Drank ice water by the gallon at the pool during the day and iced rum through out the late afternoon and evening.
Other than having less patience dealing with bullshit and stupidity I think I pretty much recovered
