A message from George Takei

 

 

 

Well said, George

 

So it goes...

Thanks for wearing a mask but wear it properly, please

Wednesday I took the bus to go shopping. I also took the bus to go shopping last week which was the first time since March 2020. On the way back there were 6 other passengers, 4 of which had their masks under their nose (1 of which was under chin). Sheesh!

If everyone had done their part and not been selfish, we might have been back to "normal" by now. 

 

Get vaccinated as soon as possible. If not for you, for the community as a whole.

So it is still going...

Stern Words for USVI Covid Situation

Dr Hunte-Ceasar is fed up and has stern words for us concerning the Covid-19 situation in the US Virgin Islands.

Listen to her and take heed...

 

Get vaccinated and stay on track. We are almost there... 

 

I've Got Mine...

I've Got Mine

Have You Got Yours?

 

 

I have one of those, too. I also had the polio sugar cube as a pre-schooler :)

We've had both doses of Moderna vaccine for covid-19... Hurray!

 

The US Virgin Islands has opened up vaccination to the public for those over 16-years old.

New USVI Covid-19 Regulations Sept 8 2020

First of all, I would like to say that I wish they would implement one of the UKs new protocols which is coming into effect next Monday. They are having bars and restaurants recording the names of their patrons daily and keeping this info for 3 weeks to aid in contact tracing. Simple, yet effective... Like wearing masks.

On Tuesday, September 8, 2020, USVI Governor Bryan held a Covid-19 press conference where he moved the territory from Stay At Home to Safer At Home (Yellow Alert phase).

• Businesses deemed non-essential are now allowed to open,
• Beaches are now open until 4pm on weekends and holidays, with no restrictions during the week. Gatherings are limited to 50 people. Facial coverings and social distancing protocols remain in effect.
• Boats are NOT allowed to raft up together. Keep a 12-foot distance.
• Restaurants will be allowed to resume dine-in operations under the following conditions:
  • No serving of alcohol at bar counters
  • No more than six persons per table
  • Tables must be 6 feet apart
  • Employees must wear facial coverings at all times
  • Patrons should wear facial coverings whenever they are not seated at a table
• Churches and houses of worship may reopen with a maximum of 50 people and will be allowed to serve communion according to guidelines of the Virgin Islands Department of Health.
• Private school campuses are allowed to reopen provided that they adhere to Department of Health guidelines.
• Visitation to nursing homes and senior assisted living facilities remains prohibited.
• Hotels and other accommodation providers are prohibited from accepting new leisure guests until Saturday, September 19th.
• Casinos and gaming establishments may reopen beginning September 19th under protocols established by the Department of Health and the Casino Commission.
• 100% of visitors and residents returning home will be required to provide a negative PCR test result in order to enter the territory or will be required to quarantine for 14 days on arrival. Further details are to be announced.

The Governor also said that he expects testing at the territory’s airports to begin by the end of the month. He also said that the situation remains fluid and restrictions could change at any time.

“As a community, we are trying to find a new normal. Our success in this endeavor is dependent on our willingness to adhere to the health guidelines and restrictions,” the Governor said. “Although we are now in week three of the moratorium on leisure guests, the virus is still being transmitted through person-to-person contact. This continues to be the most prevalent mode of transmission for the virus. We must all commit to doing our part to keep each other safe.”

I wish he would have done this weeks ago. Our mooring is near a bar/restaurant and we heard someone say "I don't need to wear a mask. I have a beer".

A blast from the past that is even more poignant in our troubled current times.

Warning: Some viewers may find the language offensive but the words are not what you should find objectionable. It is the current state of affairs is truely offensive.

Thanks to CrooksAndLiars.com for bringing this to my attention.

Lessons NOT Learned

Remember this peaceful demonstration gone bad 50 years ago?

Kent State - May 4, 1970

So it keeps going...

Don't we have enough problems?

Invest 99L has become Tropical Depression 7... Something we'll be watching carefully. Better buy propane and fuel tomorrow. Make a bit of extra water, too. Hopefully it will not develop much and we'll just get rain which a lot of people need.
