Curious how media plays situations & people.
Dengue, Chickungunya and Zika - are all transmitted by the same mosquito. (and for the scientific amongst us.. (statistically fact - 99.5% of the time- the remaining 1/2% undeterminable variable)
Couple yrs ago - dengue was the stay-home "plague"
Last yr or so.. it was Chikungunya
This yr - Zika
Except for child-bearing moments... this just doesn't seem to be any other than a nuisance.
I'd think that Dengue would be a far, far more threatening situation - but, that has been somehow forgotten.. even though it remains as prevalent as ever
All the same mosquito... the same one that does not fly more than 50 yards from where it hatched
But - panic - of course, travels further
Now... if I were hoping for/expecting a new family member, I may hesitate.. but for the rest of us?
Enjoy the islands.....

and.. yeah, curious how Tortola has no cases
But.. that's another story
