        @ fish, so do you want to be broke or dead? You can always get more money, but only one life.

      You know, all over the world, lost of safe people from COVID 19 sitting in .... jail ... sure, isolate yourself to death ... pr in this case bankruptcy.

      The trick is to take calculated risks to find the balance between being save and maintaining so normalcy... not put your head in the sand and hope it will go away.

      Things are better but there is still way to go ...

      Gov looks at those numbers and realize ... nothing bad happened, maybe we can move to the next phase ...
      You can't stand still forever if you want to make something out of what left on the season ...

      see and learn what is happening in the rest of the world and adjust ... you dont want to like those old WWII fighters trapped on an island to discover 40 years later the war was over.

      Get going, get vaccinated and help the country move forward. Standing still is not an option.

    Our Health Dept. should update their entry data collection by recording all the vaccinated and unvaccinated persons entering the BVI each day and the type of entry; air or sea. Also the problem of false positive entry tests should be resolved.

    When the people of the BVI will wake up.. Just do any search engine, and you will see 6%-80% COVID positives are asymptomatic. Why are we being gaslighted?

    Come on now. How can there be ANY cases? You’ve completely controlled it and it’s still not open to tourism. Come on man. Could this just be somebody keeping themselves a job?
