It seems like the point of the post was to have them reconsider. The mosquitoes who carry Zika are there, that is certain. What is also certain is that the virus has been confirmed in almost every island in the Caribbean. It is only a matter of time before there is a confirmed case in the BVI. Tourism officials have a vested interest in making people believe there is no risk. Personally, I am a mosquito magnet and, while I think about it some, there is no way that I would not go to the Caribbean because of fear of dengue, chick-v or Zika, as there is no chance I could become pregnant. However, there is just a real, quantum leap between me exposing myself to a very uncomfortable disease and exposing an unborn child to such horrors as microcephaly.
