Apologies for my remarks yesterday. Silver linings are important and re-establishing tourism will be a critical factor in the recovery. I certainly don't wish to be a part in suppressing optimism or visitor count. Having spoken to a few people with more casual interest in the BVI that were planning upcoming trips, but now may change their plans altogether, I have a better appreciation for how important those silver linings may be. While some may take offense to questions about boats, bars and villas, while loved ones are still out of contact or missing, livelihoods do rely on the visitor industry. I guess it can be ok to walk and chew gum at the same time...

Sorry for the deep thinking out loud.
