COVID deaths in VI’s ‘close-knit community’ impacting all- Premier
“As you know this is a ‘close-knit community where we all know each other. When one person dies, it shocks us all. We are all touched by it, so this is heartbreaking not only for me but for families and friends who have been directly impacted,“ Hon Fahie said during a statement on Friday, July 16, 2021.
At the time of Premier Fahie's statement, there were 13 COVID-19 related deaths; however, in just one weekend deaths have climbed to 19, according to the latest information from the Ministry of Health and Social Development today, July 19, 2021.
“My heartfelt condolences, words cannot begin to express what I am feeling right now, and what you the family are experiencing, as we have lost our loved ones prematurely,” said.
Vaccine is best chance against virus - Premier Fahie
The Premier reiterated that vaccination remains the best option for people to fight the virus in the territory.
‘Whilst it is voluntary, I strongly urge you to take the vaccine. Being vaccinated gives your body the best chance to fight the virus. I especially urge those who have underlying health conditions, the elderly and the young, safeguard yourselves,” he said.
Hon Fahie further called on the VI community to come together, pray together, and believe in God that things will turn around for the good.
“God will do his part, but we must do our part,” he said while noting that building resilience and capacity in the health system remains an important factor as the number of cases increases locally.

I’m sure all the person entering the island have to go into isolation. The virus doesn’t pick and choose so statement is disrespectful of work permit holders any you may not be smart enough to understand this statement. Stay safe all and try to either get the vaccine or continue following the prevention protocols.

We are dying, and people aren't changing.
Even if you can't or won't change, the least you can do is remain quiet with your views.
Our views are affecting others in more ways than we know.
We are dying. Death is in the air, and we aren't changing.
Vino, do the responsible thing, and protect us from each other.
We are dying. We are dying, and still we refuse to change.
pleasing to you. That is a gift of freedom.
Will they choose the physically fit 18-year-old student or the 40-year-old overweight diabetic? Will they choose the school teacher or the grocery clerk, the low-level government worker or the lawyer, the father of four from down island or the local pastor, the rich man or the poor man?
I sure wouldn't want to be in their shoes ... but don't anyone dare accuse them of playing God, because by choosing not to be vaccinated, that person chose their own path and their own destiny. Be it right or wrong, THEY made the choice. The doctors can only do what they can, given the lousy circumstances folks have put them in.
