We have chartered 9 times and absolutely love it. Can't wait to go back. We are 65 and retired. So we have the time to do all the protocols. My main concern is the lack of health care in the BVI. We have a family member that has been in the hospital for 6 weeks, ventilator for 4 of those with Covid. I can't imagine being in a hospital on Tortola that long. I know you can get insurance to evacuate but he went down quickly - feeling fine and then 3 hours later, being rushed to the hospital with pneumonia, hardly able to breathe. No thanks. We will be back but not for a while

We can be sad about a great many things, but the health and welfare of our loved ones can still be in the forefront of our thoughts and actions. Why anyone in the US would expect the PM or lackeys in BVI government to be especially concerned with anyone outside their voting/donating constituency is mostly a mystery to me. What's happening right here in the US ?

I know it has been said many times that this is a pandemic, meaning every part of the planet is affected. When everyone on the planet gets the clue to mask up, keep distance, stay home rather than be exposed to infection, and realize that folks over " a certain age" may be more fragile than we'd like, then maybe we won't have expensive and harsh tourist requirements.

Outside of everyone doing their level best, it's not going to get better for anyone, no matter how much money you have or how many days, weeks or months you want to vacation. That's a result I'll really be sad about.
