    We all took on our own to find ways to cure ourselves
    Some took vac some bush others supplements

    In a end what matters is that we fought
    Unfortunately some couldn’t and we all
    Know the answers to that
    What’s in the dark will come to light
    The truth will always prevail.

    Plants your herbs and bush my garden is filled anyone is welcome to pick.

    It good to be told that the covid-19 positive cases have lowered to an encouraging number. However, base on the virus varying instibility worldwide, we should act carelessly to please anyone ignorance, and negligence.
    It seems to me, based on global evidence, that the covid-19 virus feeds, so to speak, very much on complacency, misinformation, unproven theories, passiveness, stubbornness, deviciveness, deceptivenes, false belief, arrogance, etc., that gives it opportunity to continue on it path of destruction.
    We are responsible to each other to do the best we can to protect each well-being. Any failure to to fight in unison, will result in countless unnecessary lose of lives.
    God help us in two particular ways: 1. He Help us when we unable to help ourselves. 2. He gave us knowledge, wisdom, supplies to use to help ourselves. He has, and is continuing to do His part. We are responsible to do our part. Go gave us feet, but He will not walk for us, food yes, but He will not eat for us, air yes, but he will not breathe for us, life yes, but He will not live fo us. In some cases we decide our life or death whether it be earlier or later. In those such cases, the decision of life or death rest with us.
    Each person has been given the right from God to choose their own destiny. We must exercise that right. We need only to be sure that we choose our destiny wisely. We are first accountability to God, and second to our neighbors. Scripture ref: "Love your neighbors as you love yourself." That does not mean tha you should let you neighbors advantage you unjustly.
    Understand this truth: No man live unto himself, and no man die unto himself. We are our neighbors keepers, members of the B.V.I community. We ought to do all that is necessary within our power to help protect our lives, and the lives of others. Aaaaaaaaaamen

    First we must all Give God Many Praise and Thanks for standing with us in the midst of this storm we/ the world is facing.. we must NEVER forget His Continuous Loving Kindness and Mercy He’s extending towards us Always.. I also Thank Him for opening our eyes and Giving us His Wisdom to see that we also have a responsibility to do the works to protect ourselves and each other. Please we must NEVER again let ourselves become complacent- Loving is being our brothers and sisters keeper; Looking out for each other’s well-being.. Please I pray Thee that we all Continue to Love God and be obedient and love each other as we’re Commanded to do; not just in word but in deed.. no man is an island- we all need each other, and it doesn’t matter whether we are “locals” or “expats” we are all one in the eyes of God.. God is Love and He Pours out His Love to us daily ..again I beseech us all to stop all the sinning and wickedness and repent and walk Holy before God that God Will Continue to Bless us and Heal our land. Praise Be To Your Name Oh Lord..

    @ghost. Comment well taken but it is obvious her in these beautiful islands that God created that we don't like truth. We prefer to believe a lie and twist the truth. Being our brother's and sister's keeper is not an easy task. They are those who think people are mischievous when telling the truth. People of truth are not a person that much people like and would see as their brother or sister.

    It pains me to be the bearer of bad news, however, please note that the numbers are more as mass testing has stopped and we don’t know the actual numbers of positive cases, they are relying on persons with symptoms to come and be tested but what about the asymptomatic individuals who show no sign of the virus but continues to spread it. Please people, don’t let your guard down. “We are not out of the woods yet as Covid 19 is not playing with you.”
