Thanks for info, J.D. Bet the lines during Happy Hour at the Perch Bar & Grill on Orient will be much shorter for a while! But, in all seriousness opening the beaches is a good move that will hopefully motivate people to get outside and get some fresh air. Of course, as pointed out in the article maintaining correct distancing is still important even when outdoors. According to my youngest son, the chances of getting infected with the COVID-19 virus when outside is extremely low if proper spacing is being followed. I would think that the combination of heat and humidity present in the French West Indies will significantly lesses airborne transmission of the virus. Of course, the beach chairs that are set up at places like Bkini, Kontiki, KKO and even the Club O. beach will have to be spaced apart much further than they are presently and the french authorities should enforce this if possible. Getting some sunshine provides many benefits and gives the body a strong dose of Vitamin D which helps control inflammation and along with Vitamin C helps support our immune systems.
