Noel-

There is an interesting test of this going on in the US. We have a house in the Outer Banks (OBX) of NC and we live up in Virginia (note the Netflix show was not filmed there). The OBX non resident homeowners (NRHO) were banned for the last 6 weeks. This created a lot of ugly social media tension that didn't publicly help any group as "generally" the locals didn't want to get sick, the owners wanted to get to their houses to get them ready for guests and/or quarantine, and the businesses of OBX are trying not to go bankrupt as they make all their money "in season".

OBX was just opened up to NRHO this week (guests later) and the welcome has been great and the NRHO are bent on helping the local businesses survive and focused hard on the new social distancing rules and norms....so there may be exceptions but the rule has been quite different than the social media expectations.

I am hopeful that the BVI people will do likewise...the hard thing in BVI as you know you cant really drive "home" or to another hospital if you are sick or get sick down there and it would surprise me if you can get on a commercial flight...
