One more person dies from COVID in BVI! Active cases climb to 150

Positive coronavirus test sample

The BVI has recorded one new death as a result of the COVID-19 virus.

Health Minister Carvin Malone made the announcement moments ago on ZBVI radio.

This brings the total number of COVID-related deaths recorded in the BVI to two persons.

Malone said one of the BVI’s ‘golden gems’ is the newest casualty of the virus.

According to the Health Minister, an additional 59 persons have tested positive for the virus since Thursday’s update. This brings the total of COVID-19 positive cases to 150 persons in the BVI.

A total of 684 tests were conducted since the Minister’s last update yesterday.

Final call! Today the last available day to get first dose of vaccine

      Here we go with the ignorance. Every Tom,Dick and Jane turn doctor and pathologist all of a sudden. The Covid virus have turned humans against each other because of differences with the opinions on the vaccine. Thousands around the WORLD DIE every single day, why should the BVI be any different? Covid DOES NOT care where you were born or where you come from, what your last name is, if your great grandfather was the chef minister etc.

    Not a surprise. All the vaccinated persons can simply fly in and not be tested and on the street right away, so what do we expect? They are bringing it with them and spreading it like crazy, but all the Government is worried about is who is unvaccinated. Test whoever the h..l is coming in no matter vaccinated or not so that they can properly quarantine if they are infected. If not, it doesn’t matter vaccinated or not, because everybody on this damn island will soon be sick with covid. And if you are hypertensive, diabetic or have heart disease et cetera, this vaccine isn’t saving you. So please test everyone. It makes sense.

      How are unvaccinated persons responsible for a vaccinated person’s death? As far as I know the old people in the Home were all vaccinated. Whether vaccinated or not you can contract and spread this damn disease. So, please, please, stop placing blame on the unvaccinated. The only death they can be responsible for are their own. If you are vaccinated, the unvaccinated should not scare you. They are tested and quarantined when coming into this country. The vaccinated, however, aren’t. Therein lies the doggone problem. They are “vaccinated”, hallelujah, so they can’t catch COVID? So they can’t spread COVID?

      Now, if clubs are allowing patrons to walk around without masks and without socially distancing, that is a problem, but it is a problem for both vaccinated and unvaccinated as both catch and spread the virus.

      My deepest condolences to the loved ones of the dearly departed. May their soul RIP.

      Let us BE clear:

      The vaccine does not prevent you from getting covid or spreading it.

      Vaccinated people have been hospitalized and can die from covid.

      Vaccinated people were exempted from testing and quarantine about two weeks ago
      Normally you would see these spikes two weeks in.

      Why is it that they cannot come up with the statistics of the breakdown of the positive cases? Hmm.

      What about the persons who may have died from the vaccine after taking it?

        there has been nearly 2 billion people vaccinated there has been less than 10 deaths worldwide linked but not proven to the vaccine.

        Now take that 10 and even taking the world population at a 1/4 that means 10 people have died instead of 1 million

        How are those statistics for you?

        2 billion = more than 1/4 of the worlds population
        1 million is a 1/4 of the people who have died from Covid-19

          Your info is way off many more than ten people died from the vaccine complications and side effects. Many more have experienced non-lethal but serious health issues.

          look it up yourself. why do you think individual countries have been banning certain vaccine brands after those companies produced them. It’s because they had to face the facts that the medication was unsafe.

          Certain vaccines are not seen in good light in the EU for the above reasons. One EU country’s court recently upheld claims that the vaccine caused the death of atleast three persons, opening the flood gates.

            Even if more that ten people dies does it equate to the astronomical daily number of deaths before the vaccination started. People were just as skeptical when the first vaccines started, but there was no internet back then to spread misinformation and now as the born they get their vaccines within a few weeks and no one makes a fuss about it. Back in the 1960 when WHO started mass vaccination people were thankful then. Now people have so much wrights that they have the right to endanger the lives of their fellow human beings. We only have the right to freedom and liberty and not the right to life.

        It is stated that the vaccine “reduces viral load” how much viral load is still a mystery to me. If someone knows some statistics on how much of the viral load it decreases please let me know. But as far as I’m concerned if it was a high percentage such as 80% or even 50% it would be widely known. It is also advised to continue wearing a mask and social distancing even after taking the vaccine.

        Also if you were following the story in the US you would know we have been sent the least effective vaccine out of the 3 major ones available.

        The mask and quarantine protocols need to continue until a vaccine that is actually affective in stopping the spread. If you want help fighting the virus take these current vaccines, but they dont stop the spread so we aint out of the woods with this and precaution needs to be practiced.

      It’s a personal choice one has to consider their own health.

      It’s not right to force especially unsafe medication on people.

      The moral cult of vaccinated is getting sicker and sicker mentally.

      I don’t watch conspiracies I picked this up from mainstream media sources.

      With a new untested type of vaccine fast tracked for the pandemic,

      It didn’t take a genius to realize there were going to be hickcups and out right screw ups as evidenced by vaccine fatalities. Blood clot is the hot word.

          You see that is the reason why many distrust the vaccination initiative. Why did the BVI not launch a database where persons can anonymously log their side effects from the virus? I know of first hand accounts of very severe side effects but the people are embarrassed to say. I am not even going to get into the various sudden death cases as the truth will probably never see the light of day.

          It is amazing when someone dies they say it is from covid and not the underlying conditions. When they take the vaccine and die they say its the underlying condition and not the vaccine.

          I leave it at that.
