Current Conditions on SXM.

Current Conditions on SXM. - 03/16/2021 03:36 PM

Just checked the EHAS website, as of this morning there are only !0 ACTIVE cases reported. This number has decreased 50 percent since this time last week. For the large population that live here, 10 cases is less than any other place i know at home!!

On the same note, heard a commercial urging residents of the island to get vaccinated. There is NO charge for vaccines...and they are urging their citizens to get the vaccine because the more people get the vaccine, it will eventually head to ''herd immunity''....and as soon as that opens, the island will open up to more tourists, allowing more tourists to come, spend their money, and help the entire country survive. Very refreshing to hear a ''non political'' commercial urging the citizens to think ahead.

Is that 10, or zero? (I'm thinking the latter and that was just an excited typo, but the former would be even more excellent of course!) smile

The 10 are the number of active cases, not the number who were tested or who were positive.


On the vaccine front, SXM is now asking people to get their 2nd vaccine injection, while appealing to those who haven't yet gotten their 1st to do so.

We felt comfortable, no fears last week there. Lots of people getting vaccines, tests. The island is doing it eight.

WWI yes 10 my eight was supposed to be the word RIGHT. The island is doing it correctly, is what I meant.
