Couldn’t disagree with fanpr more. St Maarteners ( martians ? Lol) need us now more than ever. While we certainly patronize local establishments ( very difficult to do btw as we are in NY and restrictions are onerous to say the least) we will jump through whatever hoops SXM requires to visit if they will have us. We’ve visited 3 times since Covid and it’s gradually picking up but nowhere near usual levels. We got tested to go , most recently had to get tested to return ( only took about an hour and a half total - went to a pharmacy on the French side) and had to get another test at home to return to work! So not really worried that I might be bringing a contagion to SXM. The real point is, SXM is hurting economically and we love the Island so we decided to visit. The airlines are checking health documentation very carefully ( from what we observed)so the risk is minimized. The Islanders are getting vaccinated as well. Anyway, why judge ? Stay at home if you’re uncomfortable but the rest of the world needs to return to normal ASAP.
