    Not nearly enough. Seems that most people do not want to see the economy come back.

    It will be a form of natural selection once the virus rips through the Territory in the next few months. With our 9 ICU beds the unvaccinated over 50 with underlying health conditions like hyper tension, obesity and diabetes will die in large numbers. This will be tragic but it's what will happen if people don't take up the vaccination offered.

    There are some deeply stupid people in BVI. Once we are open, the virus enters and a few die there will be lines down the street begging for the vaccine.

        What is in any vaccine? What is in a sausage? Chicken nuggets?

        Learned medical advice says to take the vaccine.

      By which time the current stocks will have expired and we will have to hope the UK will give us some more as we have no money to buy it, if we can find some.

    With all the different diseases that were going around back in the '50s and '60s once they started vaccinating people the diseases went away and that is the only way, we will get rid of COVID-19. Back then we didn't have all the different Media to be telling us bull crap, we didn't have people looking at youtube FaceBook and all the other Media spreading a bunch of crap, If I am fully vaccinated why would I want to get in your Taxi if you are not. STOP THE SPREAD GET VACCINATED OR LOSE OUT. As one Blogger said: While the rest of the world is frantically trying to get vaccinated, the people of the BVI have completely different data. Is the rest of the world being manipulated with false data and somehow the BVI people are getting the real story or maybe it’s the other way around? PEOPLE WAKE UP YOU ARE GOING TO MISS THE BOAT.

    Wow so 22 visitors brought the virus here in the last week. Good thing we still have the 4 day quarantine for the USA visitors and 14 days for the Europeans. What is going to happen after 15 May remains to be seen.

    Tell us more about the one local case. The person had no prior history of travel so where did he/she get it from?

    I WORK IN THE HEALTH FIELD AND I HAD TO BE VACCINATED OR ELSE I WOULD HAVE LOST MY $80,000 A YEAR SALARY. I HAD THE CHOICE OF PFIZER OR MODERNA, I CHOSE PFIZER. ALL EMPLOYERS WANT THEIR EMPLOYEES TO BE VACCINATED. DOWN TO JOB APPLICANTS HAVE TO BE VACCINATED BEFORE THEY CAN WORK FOR SAID COMPANY. YES, THEY WILL GRANT YOU AN INTERVIEW BECAUSE THAT IS THE LAW BUT YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE REJECTED ONCE THE INTERVIEW IS OVER.

    Can you tell me who murdered Bob, or Rodney or the Carrot Bay man, or the guy tied up and thrown off his boat in to the sea, or the guy shot up by Tola Motors?? Or who died up Skelton Hill recently? Why those gun playing hiding girls get bail? Why I need vaxx and children coming in here don't? People coming in are bringing Covid, why must we be vaxxed to work? 99+% recovery rate. God knows the day I was concieved and He knows the day I will die and so be it.
    Let's stop the crying and forcing of the vax and figure out why our murder rate for the year is so very very HIGH? I have more risk of being murdered in the streets of Tortola than covid. .. just look at the numbers.

    25 active COVID cases in VI

    Meanwhile, the territory currently has 25 recorded positive cases of COVID-19, with 3 being new cases.

    The total cases recorded in the VI is now 219. There have been 193 recoveries and 1 death.

    Of the 25 positive cases recorded, 13 were detected on Entry Screening Day 4 and 1 on Day 14.

    So 3 new cases, 13 + ? + 1= 14? or 13 + 4 +1= 18 . ok and 3 new from community? Huh? and all asymptomatic? so how did they FIND the 3 COMMUNITY covid positives, it they are not sick, and have been or are going no where? hmmm? or were they trying to go somewhere?
