Dear Editor,
It’s a simple question. Which Minister will answer this?
We opened our border to the USA August 1, 2020. On that day, we had XX amount of cases, the French side closed its border, Curaçao and the BES islands closed their border as well, and yet after an increase to 96 positive cases (known) in 11 days (as of 11 August), the government will not institute a lockdown!
What the %^$&!
The VSA ministry advises to adhere to the measures. News Flash! It’s not happening! And the virus doesn’t stop from 00:00-06:00. It’s here! Our health care community cannot cope with an increase in diagnoses!
It’s the first time I write something like this, but, SXM government, get your act together if only for your family and friends! It is absolutely nonsense your current policy: there is no one shopping on Front Street, people are not making money, why act like we are “open”?
“Keep socially distancing, wear masks, and wash hands” is great advice, but when the numbers increase on a daily basis, I insist that you implement better measures! My life is dependent on what you constitute. So far, it seems like suicide.
Bring down the cases today, before it’s too late!
