I know very well where I have lived for the past 17 years.
Just because the government says something, it doesn't mean it will be enforced.
....life will continue just as it has for thousands of years.
That cannot be true. Anyone can go in whenever they want with as many at a time as want to since the Presidential decree has nothing to do with Farmacias.
The "shift" always changes. Now how many were arrested today for being late to get home?
Yes, I can imagine, for which reason we're really well prepared... We don't need to go to the supermarket for approx a week... And we won't let our supplies go down too much but rather when there are potentially fewer people on the street, we'll stock up again... I hate wasting time in traffic jams and in queues...
Agreed with your other point, shorter hours do mean that people have simply less time to do the same shopping, as I'd imagine every one of use needs to eat properly, curfew or not...
The amount of damage these draconian restrictions are doing to people's livelihoods
is a conversation these fear mongering freaks are willing to have with us.
Not one person has yet to mention that this new, more stringent curfew went into effect 3 days before Día de Los Reyes.
Día de Los Reyes is still the number 1 day for gift giving here within RD.
While the official date is 6 January, this government moved the celebratory date to this Monday 4 January.
How in the world are adults supposed to acquire regalos for the children, when they are faced with New Years Day, and 2 days of 12pm curfews?
They are not and the freaks know it.
Rice and beans for thee but not for me (or my family)
Well because you seem to be the only one that knows people that are affected.......
To my surprise, construction work is up in my campo compared to pre-restrictions, it is harder to find a day worker for a 1 or 2 day job.
Beauty parlours are full and even required an appointment around Xmas and New Year---- unheard of in my parts.
Also, the poor working folks--- which make up a bloody large chunk of the DR population--- are probably BETTER off..... Not only have they not stopped working ( most are day workers, no work, no pay, kind ) but they get a couple thousand pesos each month from the government, compared to before when they got fukc all.
This is when I wish I were a citizen. I would love to be able to tell the government how stupid this is. But as a visitor, I just have to STFU. It's not my place to address the government.
I'm not a citizen.
All of my money comes in from other countries.
CR's financial situation is secure. My Dominican friends are not
as fortunate as I am and I feel the need (after having several
conversations with them about how these draconian measures
are destroying people's livelihoods) to speak up on their
behalf and will continue to do so long as these measures
are in place.
I seem to be the only one who knows people who are affected?
You must be kidding.
Beauty parlors are full? (please post a few pics)
Yes indeed.
Rice and beans for thee but not for me (or my family)
How many paid those greedy boys a few hundred pesos
and continued on to their destination?
This has been the case for most of the country since the first quarter of 2020 in order to limit the number of persons in the establishment.
Sort of like pharmacies.
