COVID-19: Persons were 'backsliding' during Emancipation weekend- Dr Georges
Dr Georges sounded the warning during a COVID-19 update on Friday, August 6, 2021, noting, “COVID is obviously not going away, this is 18 months that we've been at this thing,” he said.
“It's been a constant battle in terms of the measures and all the other things and COVID itself continues to mutate and develop new variants etcetera and we as well have to be ahead of that curve,” Dr Georges indicated.
Terming the last COVID-19 outbreak a wake-up call, Dr Georges called on Virgin Islanders to build on past experiences and knowledge regarding the last outbreak and not to repeat the mistakes of the past, rather, depend on vaccination and following the COVID-19 guidelines to stay safe.
Persons were 'backsliding' during Emancipation weekend
He said over the emancipation weekend, he noted persons were "backsliding" and returning to mass gatherings and partying.
“We just want to again reiterate it, folks, that this is what got us where we are without Delta, with Delta it will be several times worse, so we really need to get on top of what we need to do,” Dr Georges said.
“It's imperative at this point in time for us all to take our personal responsibility. It can no longer be where we [Health Authorities] have to do everything… we really need persons to become vigilant and do what it is they need to do,” he said.
With COVID-19 infections in the territory lowering each day, Dr Georges said it is important for Virgin Islanders to recognise where they are and what must be done moving forward to protect against the virus.

God loves you, dearly.
hOW can you be comfortable to bring yourself to think or much more to write these words.
People who are vaccinated get it as well, I know it helps but to say such; take care it does not come back to bite you.
The Almighty Lord sees all and he never grants a prayer said in malevolence.
This whole COVID story makes me afraid to go to church tbh.
This has to pass. Maybe it'll take a year or two more but COVID won't be out life forever. I'm starting to wonder about the kind of people I have communion with and wish peace to.
Who are you? I'm going to pray the Lord reveals your heart to me should I ever encounter you in person. Clearly you worship Satan. You and the people who like your comment.
Do you not have family? People's you love? Do you not have love for yourself? You can be in that 100, vaccinated or not. Some of those 100 could be infants or our elderly on the cusp of becoming centenarians. They could be our leaders or our teachers or our doctors and nurses or people who couldn't be vaccinated through no fault of their own.
Why wish a terrible thing? Especially when so many are suffering already?
The level of nastiness to say such a thing.
You need to learn to keep some thoughts to yourself.
Hope you are a piece of $h***!
The recent surge of cases that resulted in many deaths of our friends and loved ones who were looking physically strong and healthy, it is not time to drop our guards and feel to ourselves that it is over and return to our usual life style. We should be on our guard to win this battle. We should encourage our families and friends who have not taken the vaccine to be vaccinated.
PROOF:
Every time in time past that a threatining storm that had approaced the B.V I., we pretended to be more religious in action. But as soon as the storm threat abated, we quickly resumed to our normal activities.
In reference to our current covid-19 devastating situation, such ignorance is nothing short of stupidity.
Many people hate truth, but it is by truth we live, and by lies and ignorance many among us are challenging death daily, as if death is mythical, fictionary story.
We need to take Dr. Ronald E. Georges, acting Chief Medical Officer warning seriously. Why? Because the covid-19 virus is a deadly killer, that preys mostly on the actions and inactions of selfish-minded people.
God, the Almighty Creator, is Life Truth, Love, Knowledge, and Wisdom. He is our best defence against the covid-19 deadly virus.
So why would he want a vaccine?
Chances are you'll give it to them and not the other way around.
Our medical doctors reports tell us that the delta form of the covid-19 virus is not among us at this time. Who then are in the better position to believe? Surely, not two way mirror. Why? Because Two Way Mirror can't see one way straight much less two. dearly. Don't forget to obey the life saiving protocol in place.
God's love for us remain unchange. Wise up.
We had no virus and were good until they changed the protocols because they want to act as if the vaccine is the savior. Now this virus didn’t spring out of the ghut it came through no quarantine for the vaccinated.
It’s like they give people the vaccine then send them into isolated populations with the same virus as carriers.
We’re past that because it’s spread already but I am tired of mr George’s acting as if he is a irrational person speaking as if that the virus spontaneously manifested within the territory.
