Chick-v is a mosquito borne disease. Mosquitoes are in good measure a function of rain and standing water. St. Martin has been in a fairly severe drought situation for several months. As of now, the threat from Chick-v is pretty minimal. In the event that there is more rain on island, make sure you use mosquito repellent with DEET and you should be ok.

Agreed, the odds certainly WERE a lot higher than getting hit by lightning, especially for local people. Possibly not for visitors. But now, the odds have to be a lot lower than before.
