The Dominican Republic and Florida are two different models. I guess it's easy to blame the government. I personally don't have any expertise in re-opening an economy post pandemic. To be honest, the beaches and other natural habitats can use the rest. I also never understood folks' obsession with the beach.
I hear sunshine, fresh air and clean salt water can do wonders
for a person's health and well-being/ peace of mind. Call it redneck
medicine if ya like but it works for me.

Agreed that beaches are part of the public recreation areas and would be the last phase of reopening. Just like in that leaked unofficial multi-phased reopening plan.
that "leaked"plan, which was a recommendation from toursim/industry sector and secretaries, not leaked and never approved, just Recommendations to the government, is completely unimportant.
the Government announced officially this past sunday its Official 4 Phases Plan, and that is the way it goes, starting tomorrow wednesday may 20th 2020.

Sad.
The beaches were the first thing they
re-opened in Jacksonville, FL a few weeks ago (which is where I'm heading as soon as AA allows)
No spike in cases up there. Shame
this Government is so stuck on stupid.
for my part, I am happy that the DR does Not do everything the way the USA/Florida does.
beaches here are where the masses mingle.
if you open the beaches, then you can also open the baseball stadiums, concerts, cinemas etc.
or would you await that the DR government brings up beach loungers a certain distance away from each other on all public beaches around the counrty?
theer is zero need for extra expenses on beach openings at this moment, they are a non priority part of the over all whole mess forreopening.

I believe we all appreciate the opinions of the others in this site... Look at it this way, not too many people in the Western hemisphere have ever been through such a Pandemic as CV-19... Everyone is grasping at straws.... that will make it all go away.
Some government decisions are based upon science that has just emerged and in some cases unproven. We tend to gravitate toward that science because for the most part it is as real as it gets. Politics has, unfortunately, had to make Political decisions that are not popular with all people.But it is the best they can do, and in some cases it appears to be deterring the spread. Some Political decisions are self serving while others are even helpful for the citizens. Personally I do not want the cases to level off, nor have less people die tomorrow night; albeit hopefully that shall happen. I want this to go away. I want science to come up with a medicine that will cure those with CV-19 ... and I want Scientists to invent a vaccine that will make me immune to the %#&"// disease. I really want to outlive my old mom who passed away at 101..... I am looking at Esposa Grandfather who should turn 106 on Dec 24/20. I would also like to discuss this and several other matters with you all when I have reached my 100 year mark. Ok thats enough philosophy for now....

This is not a joke.... I am very serious.

Unfortunately many of these "scientist"
are compromised, same as the politicians.
Follow the money folks. Those of you who've decided to stay home until they have developed a vaccine better grab a Snickers.

Right. Dont listen to these so called compromised scientists who've spent their entire lives in the field. We should listen to the aging extreme far right incontinent DR1 guys who needs Depends. Yall kill me lmao!

Feel free to stay at home. No one will criticize you for it. But others will venture out. Why is this so difficult for you to see?

Keep in mind this is a new forum format. At one time thousands of my posts were deleted in a forum meltdown. I have way more than what it shows.

Will the DR really reopen fully on Election Day? What could be political about that coincidence?

I miss the dislike button, but things do change.

to be open for election day could have different advanatages for the public and companies.
as they would all be allowed to operate with 100% of their work force,
so it would be easier to have a certain part of staff off for the time necessary to go to vote, may be.

watching the behavior of bussiness owners and clients here in little Veron since Monday(yes, before openings even been allowed, lol),
does make me feel that no 2nd, 3rd and 4th phase will start as "planned".IF a starting date of a phase will be "moved", then such would not be for just a few days, as they would need again a week or 14 days to "observe" and evaluate the done adjustments.
so i would not be surprised if that phase 4 would finally not happen before end JUly or even early August.
in case of Dates this deescalation plan is widely Flexibel.
the only thing to be for Sure,seems that borders will Not open Before July 5th as the very earliest date.

of being, doing or saying things that I am not.
I'm way younger than 70 (not that there's anything wrong with being 70),
and I've absolutely nothing to do with the extreme far right so enough of the your finger waggin.
Knock it off Ali.
Nobody loves a fella who's constantly letting his mouth
write checks that his ass can't cash.

Unfortunately I think one of our beloved members here on DR1
is suffering from a very high fever (lack of attention) this afternoon.
After reading her post, I'd say she's probably delirious from a high fever
and should go get tested for the virus as soon as possible.

i found this one just now,
surpirsed thag nobod mentioned August 24th as a Date yet,
or i just may have missed that completely just myself.
so with phase 4 Nog everything is reopened,
Beaches, Cine etc are some things that stay closed til august 24th, at least thats what i interpret here.
what a nice move, our tourists will have our public beaches for fun, but the DR Public is not allowed on the beaches or to have a swim in the ocean?

Airports and hotels open but beaches stay closed? Seems like the President's own right hand does know what his left hand is doing!

August 24th?
Closed on March 20th.
5 months later they'll reopen?
Will be a different landscape for sure.

Said beaches still do not have an open
date. If I had guess, they'll be open long
before Aug 24th.
