Condolences Sir, may you rest in peace and your family and loved ones find comfort in prayer!
It is troubling to read of another “sudden death”.
Most concerning is the number of these deaths in recent weeks. Could these death be Covid 19 blood clot related?
Do you honestly think the government will tell the truth even if the press asked?? Did you hear how Carvin went on when asked about the lady that died???
The number thia year would be 27 in your example not just 7. 7 abnormal deaths would be 7 over the average number of deaths by all other normal causes.
Example:
This example shows the number of deaths in the BVI (preaented below are not the actual numbers juat an example).
2010: 20 deaths
2011: 21 deaths
2012: 18 deaths
2013: 21 deaths
2014: 20 deaths
2015 : 19 deaths
2016: 20 deaths
2017: 20 deaths
2018: 22 deaths
2019:18 deaths
2020: 27 deaths
If thats what we see then there is obviouly sommething that cause the number of deaths to be higher.
Come on lets so some REAL research.

The number of deaths in the territory each year are available on the government website from the Central Statistics Office (CSO).
More attention are being paid to deaths in the territory, hence, sudden deaths would become of interest to anyone including me at this time. We still should be concerned because of the lock down for the following reasons: diets are not as healthy, persons are stressed out because of job losses and reduced pay, stressed out about where the funds are going to come from to pay bills such as loans, food, daycare, and rent especially, daycare and school services being that the facilities are closed until September, and the list goes on. All this stress causes chemical changes in the blood and if there are pre-existing chronic diseases, death would be the result (from blood clots, high blood pressure, high blood glucose, and too much carbon dioxide in the blood from the mask being worn all the time). What is the solution? Encourage each other in a positive way or refer to the hotline lines for counseling. Don’t forget to continue to build your immune system, go to the beach as Coronavirus does not like salt, follow the state protocols of wear a mask in crowds only, social distancing and sanitize your hands. We will get through this together through prayers to Jehovah who will not give us no more than we could bear.
