All anti-vaccine campaigners will be punished and jail here. Legislation is now being drafted by the government authorities. They are seeking a 15-20 years prison sentencing. These people are the most selfish and are responsible for most of these preventable deaths. Spreading false narratives.
I do hope your government follows these developments. In the meantime you can send out warnings. Words and false news is most dangerous and damaging. I'm wishing you all the best. In the meantime your government must take serious actions to protect all.
Many thanks to God, also to all that helped in the recovery of five hundred plus, do far.
The report says that all those that have died were unvaccinated. In spite of the number being at this poimt6
Even the report shows that all those that have not been vaccinated, so far numbered 31 related covid-19 deaths; the vaccinated 0, the resistance against the anti-covid-19 vaccination drive to get at least 75% of our citizens is very high in the B.V.I.
Father, Creator, Lord, God, Savior, and Most High King of kings, convict us of our ignorance, arrogance, selfish pride and negligence. May we come to the understanding that you alone can heal the deadly condition of a suicidal mind, that say I know, but know
not the negative force that has many of us blinded, unable to see the true light of life, because of the wrong
choice we often make, often ignoring lifesaving counsel.

I lisern to ZBVI every morning and there are so many death announcements aired at any given morning.
If people don't want to vaccinate its their choice, if they want to vaccinate it's their choice every one have to live with their choice.
If people are not feelin well they go get tested or if you know you are in contact with someone who was confirmed you go get test. Simple. So Yes the numbers may actually be higher. That's why they call it confirmed cases. Simple, those that were tested.
Otherwise, i think is time to move on. 31 unvaccinated (and with serious underlying health issues)ppl died with covid. RIP to all of them! More than 1000 ppl , the majority unvaccinated, recovered, mostly at home. Officially.
Let's move on! Let us tackle the real issues that are the huge rates of obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure in these beautiful BVI. There's even the vaccine option for whomever prefer that option.
Let's move on! It's just a nasty flue.
"Fear is the only thing to fear!" Franklin D. Roosevelt
Getting yourself as fit as possible is something we should all do regardless of Covid. Sadly poor diet and lack of exercise is creating the high incidence of obesity, diabetes and general malaise in the BVI. The health service needs to do all it can to help people get fitter and eat better rather than just give out drugs to manage things that can be rectified by discipline and hard work by individuals.
Herbal remedies are positively complementary in most cases, bush tea, herbs and oils help all of us feel more positive
But where this terrible virus is confirmed the only way to really protect yourself and others is to get vaccinated.
If people care about the territory and if people care about each other then please do your research properly ( not Facebook or msgs from individuals many whom are actually vaccinated) and if you can then please get vaccinated quickly for everyone’s sakes and especially so these 31 people have not died in vein.
