    Why no consideration or precaution in relation to the Carona As of now everyone can be considered a suspect...

      BVI has no confirmed cases hence currently it fearmongery to assume everyone a suspect at this stage. The virus will spread to BVI the goal is to prevent a massive spike (ie if we all quarantine now for 30 days what happens at the end of 30 days?). 55 is not a mass gathering - there are more people in church or passing through retail businesses.
