‪Message from the Director of the ACLU of Puerto Rico.

It is amazing that we have not learned the lessons of the HIV epidemic.

Publicly marking people for isolation at road blocks to towns will not end well. Blocking people who appear to have symptoms, and may not be positive; while allowing others to enter the town makes no sense.

We already know that many infected with the Coronavirus show no symptoms. They will be allowed into town; they are also learning that informing that he/she tested positive may not be convenient.

We are forcing people who are asymptotic positive for COVID to go underground. We need to assure people that they will not be stigmatized. Lets not go back to twin epidemics - the virus epidemic and the epidemic of discrimination.

No one should be forced into the closet, if we want to beat this new disease.

Aquí nadie ha hablado de eliminar el toque de queda, aquí se habla de que ni el toque de queda, ni la pandemia eliminan los derechos civiles de las personas y el reconocimiento del estado a un trato digno a toda la población. Un trato digno implica acceso a servicios de salud, pruebas, protecciones para el personal de salud, hospitales disponibles y cero estigma. No significa arrestos, confiscación de automóviles (necesarios para una emergencia), no significa violencia policíaca, ni nuestras calles militarizadas. Al fin y al cabo los verdaderos delicuentes andan impunes después de esconder suministros alimenticios y médicos cuando el desastre de María.

It is extremely sad that to this day people cannot understand the severity that this virus means to health and society. As a 1st responder I have to work with the fear of getting exposed to it and not just that, maybe exposing my loved ones. I cannot digest that a civilized society cannot obey nor understand that there is no cure to this date and this virus spreads faster than what we fail to recognize.

If you feel that your freedom is in play or being taken away from you, you should learn more about North Korea. This virus is a silent killer, we cannot see it, nor recognize specific symptoms. I work along side with CDC specialists and what we face today is no joke.

For the love of God, be considerate and instead of defying specific measures for the safety and well being of those who are vulnerable. Be advice, today is for those, maybe tomorrow is for you. Patience and preservation is what we need. Be safe and God bless us all!

In Spanish, please. In Puerto Rico, the vast majority of people does not speaks and understands fluently English. Unless your messages are directed to a certain elite of people.

En español se lee mucho mejor.

Siento mucho decirle a los compañeros abogados que como médico, salubrista, puertorriqueña y humana, las medidas restrictivas en Puerto Rico, China, Rusia, Korea del Sur... son las adecuadas para disminuir la mortalidad de la humanidad en estos momentos,
En estos momentos, tenemos un enemigo que matará al 2% de los infectados. La prevención primaria es lo max importante...
Los individuos no tienen el derecho de infectar a los demás ciudadanos.
Cada humano hoy sonó un potencial arma de fuego mortal para los demás.
Los detalles “legales” los podrán discutir los que sobrevivan.
No soy del partido ni de la ideología de la gobernadora, pero está actuando con el valor que le ha faltado a López Obrador y a los primeros ministros de muchos países europeos.
De Estados Unidos.. de Constituciones que no reconocen la Salud como un Derecho.... no hay ni que preocuparse en estos momentos.
Esto es de vida o muerte.

La jueza asociada del Tribunal Supremo de EEUU, Sonia Sotomayor, en su opinión disidente, critíca fuertemente la reciente opinión en el caso Jones v. Mississippi (22 de abril de 2021); expresando que la 8va Enmienda a la Constitución de EEUU sobre trato cruel e inusitado requiere que una persona joven que es sentenciada a una sentencia de encarcelamiento perpetuo debe tener por lo menos alguna esperanza que pasará algunos de sus años de vida fuera de los muros de las prisiones.

The American Addiction to Violence

While a jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of murder earlier this week, that verdict alone, though so desperately needed, was woefully insufficient.
