The best public safety is a 100% lockdown. At some point however people start to starve and eventually you end up with a collapse of government. Suicides, crime and other health issues spike. There has to be a balance. Any quarantine for tourists means virtually no tourists. Can the BVI survive another year without tourism?
That is a great question George, and one that as a villa owner I am truly concerned about. Especially after an extensive rebuild Post Irma.
Hopefully out of this abundance of caution, we will see a phased reopening that will serve both the need for safety and the need for economic recovery.
