Exactly. Cherry picking one metric is not a good indicator of imminent doom. And I feel that's what you're doing. Positivity rates is not a reliable indicator in the DR because testing per capita is inconsistent and low; especially if ... Read More

I agree there鈥檚 a potential problem but I don鈥檛 think we can conclude much from the positivity rate alone. Especially short term. It鈥檚 about trends. Total cases appear to be declining slightly. The curve is slightly downward. It ... Read More
Ivermectin Not Recommeded by WHO and EU by Guest2022
Please add to the closed Ivermectin thread to perhaps put an end to this drug's promotion by some. WHO joins Europe, (FDA and manufacturer) Merck in recommending against Ivermectin for ...
There is no new compelling evidence for ivermectin here. It鈥檚 unlikely to sway the minds of anyone. It鈥檚 the view of three medical practitioners, not scientists with expertise in pharmacology. And it鈥檚 not hard for anyone to get ... Read More

I agree. DR is a ticking time bomb. And it will spread quicker with deadlier results as variants affect younger people more. It鈥檚 only a matter of when. But there are some mitigating factors. Many of the tourists are now travelling after ... Read More
Prescription meds by J0n
Is it possible to pick up my meds over here in DR with a British prescription? If not, mailing them will take a very long time. Thanks.
Importing anything is always a crap shoot. Today customs charged me 40% duty on an over-the-counter skincare product because one of the ingredients was alcohol. Lol. Read More

I recently had my family send several small items including prescription med that was still in the sealed pharmacy bag with the receipt. It was a topical cortosoid skin med; nothing special. I thought by sending it to my EPS address in Miami and ... Read More

Thanks, StanR. I appreciate your skepticism. But it's important to appreciate that science is constantly changing as emerging peer reviewed studies may change the weighted evidence. I was hopeful that Ivermectin would be the answer because of my ... Read More

I've read many of these Ivermectin studies and found them to be seriously lacking if not comical. 1. Safety. Ivermectin is a single-dose drug and long-term use has never been considered. We don't know if it is toxic (causing organ damage) ... Read More
Forwarding a Canadian phone number by Odie&CiCi
Morning All, I鈥檓 trying to find a way to forward my Canadian cell number to an internet-based app while we鈥檙e here. At first I thought Google Voice would be the no-brainer solution, but apparently you have to have a US cell or landline ...
I use Vonage Canada; a VoIP phone for $15 per month. It鈥檚 my home phone as well. I connect the small Vonage box to the WIFI router in my DR home or wherever I travel. Then plug any regular phone into the Vonage box. (I bring that too). This ... Read More
