DAILY HERALD ARTICLE

Looks like the Daily Herald is even working today/Sunday?

I expect online is all we will get for awhile.

Could be. Our local print version is still being delivered and considered essential, but we are not on as strict of a situation as SXM either.

We'll see if we get a paper tomorrow!

Well, that answers our wonderment about hot weather immunity.

Clearly, the dutch have ranked SXM over bonaire,curacao, aruba in potential need of more ICU beds with this shipment.

Hopefully, they wont need more.

Dumb question.

This equip was sent by Holland for Dutch territories. If a Frenchsider shows up at a Dutchside hospital are they usually turned away? Would they be told to go back to Frenchside today with the pandemic?

The plane is bringing supplies to several islands

Does anyone know the time of arrival?

Around 3.30 to 4.00pm .

Thank You!

Just landed

Yes

Friend of mine on island just sent me the landing on Whatsapp. He lives very close by behind the airstrip.

sxmislandcam.com has a close-up of this plane.

Here too.

We have a picture of the approach. Thrill for the day!

My Wife Shirley took the landing well and reproach to unload area . It's on Face Book.

I saw the approach, landing and taxi to terminal on a Facebook video. Was surprised to see a couple of vehicles on the road during curfew. Probably something essential.

You can see the heat generating off the tarmac.

I've seen various videos from people that were at Maho filming the arrival of this plane. So much for the curfew that is in order.

Not necessarily. I have several friends who live in Simpson Bay or Beacon Hill or Airport Road who could easily take pictures from their home. Including Lesley. Have some girlfriends have their binoculars out to see if they are bringing Dutch Marines! LOL

Nice video Lesley, thanks to Shirley. Bill only got the approach, from our terrace.

Yes, Lesley's/Shirley's video appeared to come from their residence. Although I don't doubt there are people out.

Thanks Elaine and now that our new neighbor just chopped down the big tree in her back yard , we now have an excellent view completely . And yes JD our big roof top now cleared fully .

I wasn't doubting you or Shirley following the curfew rules but some of the ones I saw were definitely from the beach road. Some people just don't get it.

LOTS of people don't get the curfew. I saw 6 boats zoom around the inner lagoon in 5 minutes with locals in them. Even one guy rowing back and forth for exercise. All of this is clearly banned by the 24/7 curfew.

Until the authorities make an example out of some of them, it will likely continue.

Selfish people.

No one is paying attention here. People walking around, no masks. Disgusting.
