  1. Without Clinical Trials, FDA Authorizes Modified Monkeypox Vaccine, Expands Eligibility to ‘High-Risk’ Children Children are at low risk for monkeypox as well COVID.
  2. ACTIVATION FORM Solidarity Fuel As of July 18, it is not required to activate vehicles to make use of the frozen price of $3.25 for fuel. This module will be used for agricultural carriers that need to process their Single Vehicle Registry.
  3. When I listened to the explanation of this AIG information gathering when it was discussed at the dialogue table I understood it better. For one there is an estimation of use by sector: private, agriculture, transport. That assists the govt in evaluating use for further assessments. Avoiding misuse is another factor: cars filling up coming from Costa Rica , fueling passing drug boats enroute . The gas attendant is the collector of data. You are not required to enter the system yourself. That got nipped early. Govt had a big pushback on that..... I could be wrong but that's my take right now..... Government asked that if you don't need the discount....don't take it. I wonder how many will NOT?.
  4. I just heard the some Ngobe are charge $10 to get through the blockade. Others have huge caldrons of food that they are selling to those stuck...profit ! The Ngobe seem to have their feet on the necks of the govt. officials. United Nations asks the govt to treat the protestors kindly and with respect. (?? hold off) So gasoline price lowered. Some 30 or so products listed for price control ( which never works) and the conflict sees so sign of slowing down. Eye opener fer sure !!!!!!!!!!!!
  5. The meal that was given to each of the officials : As the Ngobe delivered each meal of rice and canned tuna they explained "This is what we had to eat during COVID. This is our "SOLIDARITY GIFT " from the govt. They passed out each lunch and most officials left, AND left that lunch on the table. The Ngobe then took a photo of each lunch and named the dignitary who could not choke it down. All the dignitaries left.........and did not return for 3 hours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The message was clear. This only fueled the conflict between the "haves and the haves-nots" . Each picky dignitary that left the food then LEFT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>played right into their hand. (mind you the priest stood up and told them all to be considerate and eat the lunch that was given ......that apparently did not fly ) The priest ate it.... At this rate we most likely won't be seeing resolution very fast. Daily it gets worse.
  6. Strike is said to continue til the end of July according to the word on the street. The gas price reduction did not meet demands and further adjustments are asked for : medicine not only expensive but not available, food prices etc.
  7. Exactly what does this mean...specifically???? How is this certificate obtained should you need one.
  8. OPINION: Knowing risks of side effects and possibility of getting infected in spite of vaccination should be as well considered. The ominously named Omicron is not causing the deaths that the Alpha and Delta did. Minsa needs to provide stats on breakthrough infection ( infection among vaccinated ) as well as observed ill effects seen here of the vaccination itself. Alison. R.N.
  9. Walkie Talkies might work well. Buy a set of them and each person should be asked to check in if not seen by the rest. We use them in the Brisas community for emergency communication among residents here. Not expensive and work well most of the time. Alison
  10. This is a great gift to give to Ngobe children for Christmas. My friend Jane did a fantastic job . She took on the language challenge of Nabere and Spanish and did one fantastic job of creating this children's book. Hat's off to Jane ! Alison
  11. until

    As a resident here for now over 14 years, my husband and I can vouch for the importance of Rodny's service which we have utilized more than once. Both instances were life and death situations : 1. a neighbor's home invasion and another 2. neighbor falling and becoming paralyzed. Neither were things you would ever imagine happening ! We called and Rodny took over in both instances providing police and as well emergency medical assistance when we were unable to manage alone. We were members...our neighbors were not at that time. They are now! Give a gift of Rodny's own 911 services for Christmas. I can not think of a better gift.
  12. What was missing in this long defensive dialogue was: 1. A detailed and serious investigation (legal and not merely policy adjustments) needs be made with immediate suspension of employees under investigation. Apparently these abuses had gone on for some period of time ( years ) without serious consequences 2. Assurance that there will be termination and punishment ( prosecution) of perpetrators if found guilty. It appears that the respected Smithsonian wishes to correct wrongs by policies rather that formal legal process with the Dept of Justice of the United States . 3. Protection for those reporting abuses. Alison

  15. Why create in the minds of the population a "crisis" when there is not one? The country boasts 80% vaccination rate vs COVID but is also has an extremely high rate of natural immunity due to the manner in which the initial outbreak was handled treating early cases in homes. The Omicron has low lethality and severity as recorded worldwide so far. If this mutation takes over it strikes me as good thing...a literal downsizing of this entire Pandemic. Now is the time for a concerted move toward the direction of normalcy as our mayor here demonstrated by holding the country's 200th birthday celebration with a parade. Thank you Mr Mayor ! We all enjoyed fresh air, sunshine and the joy of celebration . Every body respected the mask mandate. Under all those masks there were smiles I know ! Alison. a nurse
  16. Clarification: I understand gangs are different than mere thieves, but Halloween can afford a thief an opportunity if you are not cautious.
  17. Please use caution as you open your doors tonight for Halloween . Know who is there BEFORE you open that door ! Alison

  21. Bill and I send our love and condolences to our friend and neighbor Ruby. This is truly heartbreaking. With all our love and prayers, Alison and Bill Brundage
  22. My husband and I seek an instructor in computer skills for Ngobe children of a family we care for. Is there any location where children such as these can learn computer skills and computer safety? Virtual classes make learning with a computer mandatory now.
  23. The question that is obvious is...who was guarding this facility? What form of security systems are installed to protect the property ? This rather large quantity of supplies did not walk out by themselves...it took time and vehicles. Nothing was seen???????????????
  24. Our hearts break for your loss. What a sweet soul. We send our condolences. Alison and Bill Brundage
