MARIGOT:--- Following the closure of the border and the results communicated by the health authorities on people contaminated with COVID-19, a collective of 15 doctors from Saint-Martin refutes the decisions taken by the prefecture.
Thus, doctors assure that ′′ The state compares us with a positive PCR card to an earlier card of hospitalized.
The prefecture announces the Prefet (Alexandre Rochatte Prefet of Guadeloupe NDLR) contaminated in Saint-Martin when the incubation delays tell us he was contaminated in Guadeloupe.
ARS announces on RFO the return of the epidemic due to Americans 4 days before Juliana's first plane.
On behalf of these 3 findings, we were sold the border closure, for health reasons, to reduce the brewing of populations.
Current positive cases are mostly healthy carriers, most noncontagious. Consider them as ′′ vaccinated ", not as dangerous.
Elderly and fragile patients must always be protected, but this has nothing to do with border closure.
The sub-prefecture (NDLR delegate prefecture) manages COVID -19 without talking to any of the doctors in Saint-Martin.
The number of positive biological tests is the only argument against us, and it's not scientific.
It's pretty likely that the border will be closed for an obvious political reason. Our patients don't have money anymore, they don't all eat at their hunger.
Those who live on the Dutch side cannot heal themselves easily. The economy on both sides of the island periclite dangerously.
Now, kids no longer have the right to go to school.
Even though nothing medically justifies what has not happened anywhere else in metropolitan France.
If we as Island doctors do not have the power to stop border closures, we have a duty to warn the population that this has nothing to do with useful medical measures in the current state of the pandemic.
Madame *, please stop what doesn't take place, reopen the borders, and let Saint-Martin live and breathe ".
