What form of testing being done to be yielding these fast results? Concern and Some what confused.
You are confused, since you are overtaxing the one brain cell you appear to be operating with.
This my dimwitted friend is call the Delta Variant. We don’t want to say the delta variant is here, but we know it is. We know it is a much faster and more aggressive version of the virus than the one we were previously dealing with that we had under such tight control.
For research and reference purposes, please see India and all things variant covid.
you really should have done the research before coming here to spread your fake concern based on nothing.
oh and yeah when people are ignorant and wouldn’t following the rules, sh!t happens.
Yep. The demons have achieved their goals, but they will not succeed in keeping the VIslands down.
We were low in numbers for to long and it bothered the.Sharing this because it is relavant and factual.
“Am posting this comment under the wrong topic hopefully it gets some attention. As of the last ease of restrictions local white people of the usvi been coming to bvi with fake immunization cards and bouncing around island to island in the bvi with a negative agenda of spreading covid. Also in sopers west end yachts been seen coming over from stjohn illegally .they anchor at the closest point during the day and sneak over at nights to escape all the fees rules and regulations this been circulating 3 weeks now.”

We are scheduled to vacation in Virgin Gorda beginning on July 17. We are coming from the US and are fully vaccinated. I am not so concerned about being in Virgin Gorda since the Covid numbers are low. I am worried about going through customs and Tortola and using the ferry . Any insight?
The circus is at scb school, if you didnt have covid before you probably will get it if you go there
We are scheduled to vacation in Virgin Gordo beginning on July 17. We are fully vaccinated and coming from the United States. I am concerned about going through customs in Tortola. I am not so worried about being a Virgin Gorda since the Covid numbers seem to be low there but growing. Any insight?
