Why are people in the BVI so harden, get vaccinated, wear a mask and practice hand sanitizing and social distancing. What is so difficult and it will save lives.
The belonger is immune to Covid, just like AIDS. I was told this by the unvaccinated.
If you don’t eat meat, you don’t get the Covid-19. I know this as I’m vegetarian.
Don’t be silly. Lots of vegetarians get Covid exactly the same as those who are not vegetarian.
That makes no sense. I have blue shoes and don’t have Covid. Therefore if everyone wears blue shoes we all cool.
Notice how they did not differentiate between the unvax and the vax at these events. Thsts because EVERYONE CAN CATCH IT REGARDLESS.
Stop being ignorant and divisive. Encourage ppl to follow social distacing protocols, mind their health. Stop pushing propaganda.
Some of the same vaccinated people are very ill as we speak siiing the Pebbles
How many times do we have to say this? Nobody claims that the vaccine stops you getting Covid. What is undeniably does do is hugely reduce your chances of doing so and if you do get it hugely reduces your chances of needing hospitalisation and dying. It also hugely reduces the chances you will transmit it to others.
Surely that’s got to be a wonderful thing?
Ask Gibraltar and Israel
I thank God everyday that my people are awake. The hit to us won’t be as bad as some of these places are experiencing.
Africa…6% vaccinated. Lowest covid deaths and current cases on the planet!
Try actually looking/ researching information and world news from non-mainstream media sources.
Not surprise on who to blame for the rise. It takes 14 days to manifest, so this just don’t add up!
On average, symptoms showed up in the newly infected person about 5 to 6 days after contact. Rarely, symptoms appeared as soon as 2 days after exposure. Most people with symptoms had them by day 12. And most of the other ill people were sick by day 14. In rare cases, symptoms can show up after 14 days. Researchers think this happens with about 1 out of every 100 people. Some people show no symptoms at all … but they do carry the virus and can infect others.
No masks
No social distancing
Anyone surprised at the result???
So are we going to be masked and scared for the rest of our lives?
Is it possible to have a mass gathering here?
There they are again. Those massive green balls in Road Harbour. We’re doomed.
Those green balls are released by evil black cat farts. They must be destroyed
Just to be clear, are they black farts of cats or the farts of black cats?
Either way that’s clearly racist. Why must our beautiful black farts always be derided. I say say we march again. Surely we can’t get fewer people than the last one.
#blackfartsarebeautiful
It’s so stupid
People take aspirin, or other medications and don’t know what,s in it,eat Mc Donald and not sure what, s in it.
But afraid of a vaccin that might save there life.
This is how stupid is human
The ingredients are clearly marked on the packaging so you can actually check them, down to the T. And these have been around for donkey years so they’re clearly trusted.
@Ha ha
The key thing is all these are done as per freedom of choice. You choose to eat Mcdonalds, choose to take medication but with this vaccine coercion everywhere. That leads to more distrust.
Oh btw where in the article is there any mention of vaccinated or unvaccinated?
BOTH vaccinated and unvaccinated can carry and spread the virus, so why is it every time there is an outbreak people assume it was an unvaccinated person? where did they get it if it was? they cannot travel without multiple tests and quarantines so even if it was an unvaccinated person they likely got it from a vaccinated person, as they are the ones traveling with less testing and restrictions. Clearly it is the vaccinated people who keep bringing it on island
So you believe that Covid 19 was not still on the island from the last outbreak! the virus is always here. It becomes more pronounced when it get unvaccinated hosts to multiply in and that added with mass gathering provides the opportunity to transfer to more than one persons.
We don’t want to be vaccinated but we also don’t want to wear masks and social distance.
Well continue with your free choice and also accept the consequences that come with it.
When are people going to assume responsibility for their health? Obesity is a huge cause of Covid19 deaths. How many government campaigns to lose weight are there currently going on in the BVI?
Diabetes is another plague of the BVI and co morbidity that causes death with Covid19. We all know this but where is the pressure to eat right, lose weight and exercise to recover from diabetes?
People of the BVI are sadly getting fatter and fatter by the day. I never hear anything said. So i will say it, come on stop digging your grave with your fork. Covid19 is a pandemic in the BVI and so is obesity.

Has it occurred to anyone that these people were also at the supermarkets, hair dressers, the beach, clubs/bars etc? Corona is here to stay. We need to learn to co-exist with it. his also includes attending mass gatherings. We simply need to start being responsible adults.
The worst is yet to come. Be vigilant.
