    I love how the flu has so much manners, to let covid get all the shine no one gets the flu. Not to mention that all these test are a crock of sht that’s why if you test a person more than once you’ll get a bunch of different result which in turn helps the cases to rise, which in turns helps the government to keep pushing the fear which in turns help to justify the lockdowns and curfews, should I continue or will the people of the BVI keep eating grass like sheep

      So is it just in the BVI that there are curfews a d lockdowns? What happens to the rest of the world? Haven’t you heard about the lockdowns and curfews in places that are far bigger than the BVI? Why then do you refer to the BVIslanders as sheep? What does that make the rest of the world, goats? Cattle? If you are here and don’t want to be classified with the sheep, pray tell, go elsewhere. Is someone holding you down? Are you handcuffed? Stop your nonsense!! If you have nothing positive to contribute, please go and sit down!!!

        You obviously don’t read the world news or you won’t be asking that question. Reading is fundamental.

      Please make the curfew earlier. Move it up to 1 am please. No need to be on the roads after that time.
      Good going.

    I am very disappointed with how information on covid is still being kept as hush hush. Covid after it has left some persons still leaves some wierd lingering symptoms. Are you trying to tell me that everything is fine and dandy with everyone that recovered? No longterm debilitating effects on anyone? Hmmm. I doubt it. Now that is what people need to know. Follow up and submit an updated report on the health of those so called recoveries. This is what is important right now. Not just that they have recovered.
