Residents asked to indicate whether pandemic was ‘dreadful or not so serious’
Director of the Office, Mr. Raymond Phillips said his office is soliciting the opinions of residents and explore how they may have been affected by the pandemic.
“The department is seeking answers to questions including whether respondents viewed the COVID-19 situation in the Virgin Islands as dreadful or not so serious, and whether their income was affected by the pandemic,” he said according to an announcement on the initiative.
Gov't seeking more insight
Phillips is hoping these honest answers will assist the Andrew A. Fahie (R1) Government to better understand how the pandemic has uniquely affected individuals relative to the rest of the population while at the same time, generating useful data to guide policymaking decisions.
“Data should be available to understand the impacts of COVID-19 and how such are viewed by the population. Information produced from this survey will play an important role in the efforts to effectively manage this socially and economically debilitating health crisis,” the director said.
According to information, no names are required and completion time is estimated to be less than 5 minutes.
The survey is anonymous and can be accessed directly at: bit.ly/csobvisurvey.

2. Unlikely to be anonymous as an email account input is required.... hmmm
It says (not shared) at the end of your e-mail address when you open the form. It's simply using a pathway for users to access the questionnaire based on your browser settings. Configuration issue if you will.
The survey is open to everyone but not everyone will see this based on their preferred browser.
Not enough people are vaccinated here. Too many people took (and are still taking) their medical information from Facebook, other Social Media, and the likes of Nikki Minaj.
So when the Tourists come back this winter (some of whom also them take their medical advice from dubious sources) we will undoubtedly be facing more Covid infections and, most sadly, more deaths.

I answered dreadful because I remember when the government said they were building a ward and then didn't. Only after COVID finally got here did they knock up something.
I remember when they said they had a plan and then they didn't and told us we have to vaccinate. That's the plan.
Not ordering enough medication for us. Fortunately the USVI was able to share with us.
Not getting alternative vaccines for those of us who don't want Astrazeneca but can't travel to the USVI.
Calling the hotline is a nightmare. No one ever answers.
Losing samples and test results.
You have those poor doctors and nurses by the hospital testing center in a hot tent all day under ppe gear.
Only some people got stimulus money.
The double standard between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, tourist vs resident, Spanish bars vs local bars, small businesses vs bigger businesses, etc.
All those nights last year you had us glued to our radios at midnight to tell us nothing changed. Could have waited until day time.
The refusal to stand up for the rights of the people who were bullied into getting vaccinated at the threat of their job.
Encouraging discrimination by playing Pontius Pilot with your vaccine stance.
Giving yourselves pay raises and extra perks at a time when so many in the territory have loss their jobs and are going without.
The lack of public programs to encourage people to lose weight despite knowing obesity is a big problem in the VI and the worse risk factor for COVID.
Failure to consider the mental wellbeing of the people in general. Some people never recovered from Irma and Maria and COVID made it worse.
Keeping our kids out of school for a whole year and still having them return to mouldy classrooms and not enough toilets.
Following the advice of the CDC when we don't have American vaccines.
Not seeking advice or guidence from other countries despite other places having better success. Like why didn't we ask Sweden for advice? They're doing better than most countries.
Not taking the invasion of privacy seriously when people's medical info got leaked.
Locking citizens out of the country.
Closing the boarder for so long.
Those are just a few on the top of my head.
you should be able to spot a fake.Once you've touched handbag, you will be instantly hooked! The leather is very thin, but extremely durable. The type of leather used by Gucci Bag is a very distressed looking type of leather. Every bag has a unique appearance. You'll find lines, wrinkles, folds and smooth spots all over the bag's body. No two bags look identical.
1. Check the spelling of the label on the front of the purse and on the interior. Frequently, manufacturers of fake and counterfeit purses will misspell the brand's name to skirt copyright law.
2. Check to make sure the stripes or pattern match up on all sides of the bag.
3. Examine the stitching on the interior and exterior of the bag
4. Check to make sure the metal on the interior tag matches any metal on the exterior of the bag.
