Does anybody really think that any american citizen will be allowed entry into SXM this year? The USA has had one of the most irresponsible reactions to this virus of any country in the world. The situation has become catastrophic . And people here are wondering if the can go in August?

Not that far fetched. Still 5 months till end of year. Lot can happen.

Well this pretty optimistic for a country currently getting over 60,000 cases a day and rising every day.

How so?

My question too.

Me too and let's keep politics out of it.

I don't think it's out of the question either.

And exactly how accurate are the numbers? I'm personally aware of at least one false-positive test (a friend's father), and have knowledge of three positive tests that weren't actually tests at all (clinic staff questioned the lab results and sent in three sterile swabs with fictitious names; all came back positive.). A respiratory therapist who is a member of my family said that people who test positive more than once (follow-up to see if they're still infected) are likely being reported as another new case.

Not saying it's not a real problem, but I truly believe the numbers are grossly inflated.

Yeah, tell it to the 15,000 positives from just YESTERDAY here in Florida. This gets us absolutely nowhere.
