They have a tenth of the population of Rhode Island but are reporting more new cases daily 😬 Not good news.
It seems the population isn’t that different from St Martin - 112k in Aruba 72k on St Martin (both sides combined). Obviously those population numbers don’t include the tourists which I’m sure there are presently more of in Aruba than St Martin.
Ugh, not good. And they were testing, testing, testing visitors....
"Twenty-six patients were hospitalised up to Wednesday, of whom seven in were intensive care. Six unused ventilators in Bonaire are being flown to Aruba.
The island confirmed an eighth coronavirus fatality. It concerns a 60-year-old person."
"It is good to do nothing all day, and then to rest"
