Open letter to St. Maarten people on COVID-19 and confinement

 Dear Sint Maarten people,

All of us living in the Dutch side of our beautiful Island, what are we doing?

More than three billions are living under confinement on Earth.

They don’t do that for fun.

The French side tries to do its best to succeed it too.

Can we avoid to do it?

Can we continue to enjoy our streets like in good old times, last month, like if nothing was shaking the world, like if we didn't have a serial killer of thousands of victims every night, worldwide?.

French side will have 8 beds of ICU only and wonder what they will do when they will be full.

Are you sure your medical center will be able to face a huge amount of severe cases?

Before we transform our friendly island into a friendly cemetery, please stay home.

For you, for your family, mostly for your old neighbours.

When a sick person enters a small bus, ten sick persons come down at arrival.

When a sick person pushes the door of a shop or bar, how many will bring the virus home, even if they carry their mask?

Before the official messages, please listen to the medical messages.

This week is quiet, next week will be coughing, the week after will be a nightmare.

All of us, we can avoid the maximum of the COVID damage, please just stay home.

It is everything but a joke.

One month home is better than eternity in a grave.

Stay safe and healthy.

God bless you.

 

Dr. Marc Thibaut
