I am going to think it's a small percentage because these island chains seem to have so many more islands than we know. Maybe 1%.

About 1% or a bit less are inhabited. Wow congrats to Granny Trivia and Og. How many of them have you been to Juju? I think I have been to 11 -some for a few hours on a cruise and 2 visited for a bit from St Marteen /Martin.
Yes I went to a party of just 8 of us and the next day a lady tested positive -I did do a rapid test and it came back negative like I am hoping yours will. The lady I play online bridge with who lives near Baltimore has it now. So we did not play last week and wont tomorrow too tired and coughing a lot.
All the best Granny Trivia !!

My poor babies had to be tested. Aianna was not feeling really well towards the end of Sunday when we were there and then Malia got a fever too. Their mommy wasn't feeling well the next day so the three got tested. I am waiting to see what comes up with their tests before I do anything.

Oh so sorry. My physio appt this week I had to postponed as my therapist had someone come in who later tested positive and she is isolating for a week.
I do hope all are okay. Crazy and scary times out there.
