  1. Not surprising…The more they vaccinate the more cases we’ll get it’s just that simple. Gaston need to try another approach cause the vaccines FAILED. Point blank. If he doesn’t and people flock to get vaccinated we’ll just turn into Israel 2.0…. first ever country to have many take the 3rd dose and about to be on the 4th shot (and mannnyyy more to come) and the cases are only getting higher and higher……..

    • Don’t worry, the vaccination is just to make up numbers to show the tourists. They’ll be quietly passing out proper medications behind the scenes.

  2. As long as Antiguans’ refuse to take the vaccine and have a murder a month, a huge increase in cases of Covid and crime No tourist will come.

    • Oh well the airport should already be closed since it’s already proven both can catch and spread it but I guess it’s what he wants..

  3. So if the cases continue to increase, and the COVID-related deaths as well, what informed the decision to relax the curfew hours and open up previously closed business establishments?

    Clearly the decision to shut down those businesses was not based on the numbers
