Good for him. Hopefully, it is just allergies. Hope he feels better soon.
They fail to say where he was exposed to the virus!
Are we to assume that he was exposed to a carrier on the island of St. Lucia, or where?
How can one talk about quarantine themselves if they do not know if they came into contact with someone infected with the virus?
So, I am curious to know what’s the source of his contamination; who infected him.
Dods , you must well before you make a comment the man said he was not feeling well. He did not say he was contaminated the best thing that every one should do if you don’t feel well don’t wait till you fall down sick get checked out he is doing the best thing he is a leader of a country. And he is taking the right step.
So when is Skerrit turn nou?
Doh wish that on him man; he is a very bad man eh; corrupted more than sin, he is more corrupted than the devil himself, nevertheless God will deal with Roosevelt in his own time.
The virus for the moment is deadly, those who survive it, God must have left them here for his reasons, but when there is no know cure, it’s not good to wish that on someone!
And if you (dat) Me Almost Nearly Cousin doctor Punjab Dusquesne, you corrupted Mountain Chicken Mentality think I make peace with you because I don’t wish you to catch that virus: big mistake you little rat, because you are human, I don’t want Corona-virus to take you out!
You black little devil boy Roosevelt half a bald-head triple doctor corrupted Roosevelt Skerrit!
Hahahahahahahahahahahah!
Elizabeth will cry when she read this oui!
