Living on a beautiful island with loads of tourist accommodation and second-homes a couple of points stand out.
Firstly, some people still think that don’t travel is just for foreign travel.
Secondly, some people don’t understand that it is very possible to have the virus, be infectious and never get any major symptoms at all.
Thirdly, people haven’t realised that heading to remote/rural areas may well make them more at risk as there just aren’t the hospital beds/GPs/nurses to cope with an increased population and so may well find themselves at the back of any health queue and also many won’t be able to draw on local community support.
