My 65 year old BIL passed away Saturday from COVID. He was vaxed but did have many underlining health issues.
Diabetes, heart disease, several heart attacks and several stents. Also very overweight.
He was in the hospital for a month and on a vent for 3 weeks in a coma.
He was a good dude.

If you are correct, in due time we can certainly get there. For now I have no worries about "inconveniencing" someone by making them prove (as close as the test can do) that they don't have a virus that is still killing people because they want to spend a week on a beach. Also, I hope no one sits next to me on a plane with the flu!!!This makes no sense... Covid is an endimec and will be with us forever, you will have it multiple times, Jim. We can't be testing people from now until eternity for something that is a minor 2-3 day sickness for vaccinated people who aren't 120 years old. Imagine preventing people from traveling or being part of society if they have the flu or severe cold (that's what this is once vaccinated unless you have major underlying conditions or close to dying of old age). Time to get on with life....
Everything I have read, including the SBC site in French connected to a government site, seems to indicate that you do still need those tests to get into SBH. It seems that for SXM, you may not need a PCR/ antigen test after a certain date but you do have to fill out an EHAS form online and get it back before you can go. So maybe nothing has really changed if you are going beyond SXM?We scheduled PCR test(s) anyway for 11/3 before we come down 11/6. Just to be safe. It's free and painless. May as well have it done.
Honestly, i have no issue testing prior to going to a place like St Barth, etc.. But can we please get rid of the frigging testing to fly back home...It's absolutely ridiculous at this point. Take a test on Monday morning (negative), hang out in another country later that day, all of Tuesday, all of Wednesday and part of Thursday before getting on a plane. Yay, everyone on the plane is safe !!!
