But this is different. These two people bring the total deaths of Americans in the DR or just returned, to 12 in the last couple of months. There are many more who became very ill but who didn't die. That is unusual and not normal.
Something either nefarious is happening by design or these are "coincidental" accidents happening to American tourists in the DR. I don't believe in that many coincidences.
Some "bug", tainted water, tropical virus, bad alcohol, something is killing these people and making many others ill.
Who in their right mind would want to go to the DR to vacation now after these multiple reports of death and illness befalling other Americans? Not I.
Seems like the State Department would put out a public warning about travel to the DR being risky at this time.
I don' t think anybody is going overboard on this. If anything, not enough attention is being paid to it.
I was referring to the death that was reported in 2016.
