I also that those that mingled with them will respond to the called to get tested for the covid-19 virus transmitted decease for verification purposes sooner rather than later. Wise actions brings good results everytime to all that exercise good wisdom. Amen.
We all need to act more responsible, especially in these time of hightened risk of Omicron, and possibly others strain of the covid-19 virus deceased.
Let regard life above power, money, selfish pride, and all other gifts offered, and given to us. And remember to live , and treat our neighbors with genuine love, daily.
some of we just looking thing to talk as if the premier will intentionally set about making other sick
the territory is now filled with pure political gimmick and pulling down your own brother or sister and for what
some acting like this pandemic is only in BVI
What a $$#$% money making scheme. Get vaccinated so you dont get it. Oops you could still get it. Get vaccinated so you dont spread it. Oops you can still spread it. Vaccinated or not, you can get it, spread it, be asymptomatic or have symptoms. So what is the point of testing unless you feel sick. It does not make a difference if everybody practice the distancing protocols.
I knew that the "itch", of wanting to have mass crowds in small spaces with air conditioned environments, would yield these types of events.
We must be vigilant.
Only the continued following of the protocols provided will guarantee safety. Anything less, and, -well, just like what we now have, will be the ending results!
