was there for three weeks in march. first two weeks, masks were required in most places...but then around march 20 or so, the requirements changed, and hardly saw a mask after that. Even the casino, one day you needed to get scanned and wear masks while in casino, at midnight, everything disappeared like magic. LOL As for the restaurants, most are outdoors, but even masked, the risk of covid exists. We came home on a friday, after being tested on thursday, and negative. By Sunday morning, my wife wasn't feeling good, and tested, and showed positive. And she is the careful one, that wore her mask quite often, and whenever in a crowd. I was very much more laxed, and didn't even catch it from her. So.........who knows where one can get it.

Ed--Wow, you're the second person who has posted about a 'near miss' like that, potentially could have gotten stuck on island. Hopefully she recovered fine.

Linda--we had breakfast at Reveil Matin yesterday morning and it was the first place on island where we have seen any masks, other than us. The staff were all wearing masks. We have tried to be very diligent with wearing masks when we were inside here, and we did wear masks at Miami airport, which was a total zoo. I think that is wise advice, be VERY careful on the way here.

Linda--are you still isolating?? Not isolating as I've been to a couple of beaches. But I'm not getting together with people until I test negative, whenever that will be. It's getting old. And I also ate at Reveil Matin a couple of days ago, staying outside.

So you are still testing positive and going out to restaurants? If you are sick stay home or if on vacation don’t go out to restaurant and expose the wait staff to glasses and other utensils you are putting in your mouth. Sorry but I feel this is inconsiderate and until you test negative you should not be out and about. You might want to study the CDC guidelines, which I am following, before you issue a blanket judgment on my behavior.

So far we have been lucky, but I am concerned because the woman in the seat immediately behind Eric on the plane coughed continuously for the first 20 minutes. At that point, I really wished that people had had to test before coming home.

Just because someone s coughing and sneezing doesn't mean they have Covid. I came down with a wingding wild cod last week. Been testing regularly and always negative. Lots of crap out there. As far as testing goes. I wouldn't mind SXM requiring a negative test going to SXM even if vaxed like before. A "cod", were you fishing or did you mean a "cold"?

Certainly it doesn't mean that she had Covid, but it royally p*ssed me off that she coughed and coughed and coughed and didn't even bother to cover her mouth. I certainly hope she didn't have Covid as Eric didn't have his mask on.

as Eric didn't have his mask on. Seriously? I wore my mask the entire trip -- airport and planes -- except when I was eating. I still caught it. I plan to mask all the way home. Different strokes . . . .

I wore mine. Eric was asleep or I would have told him to put his on. Planes are allegedly supposed to be safer, but who knows?
I really hope you test negative soon, Linda. Your situation seriously stinks.
