I hear people say, “If it saves a single life then border restrictions are worth it.” But that same logic could be used to abolish cars, or even swimming.
Both have undoubtedly claimed far more lives in the same period than the two COVID deaths on the island in the last 19 months. The world in not one-dimensional. We all face risks daily and if the reward outweighs the risk, we go forward.
As a US resident and Cayman property owner, I have to tell you that Cayman’s tourist reopening is lagging far behind most island destinations, despite having one of the highest vaccination rates among them. Don’t kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Each day the long-term risks of not reopening grow as COVID risks continue to decline. Time to see the ‘Big Picture’ and lift the border restrictions.
