Sick of hearing about how hard quarantine facilities are. This is not a holiday, and yes my beef is with tourists who are complaining about the heat, the mosquitoes, the sheets, having to follow protocols...You chose to risk lives by travelling for leisure during a pandemic.

How many of us truly understand the emotional toll COVID-19 is having on the very lower level of the social strata. Imagine having to worry about paying rent so your family have a roof over there head, enough food to feed every mouth, worrying about rent after this month

This is such a shame. Very poor decisions. Ramadan is coming up shortly. Resort workers have families to support too. Whilst your plate maybe abundant, for some it may be scraps and you may be taking that away too.

Rwanda has recorded NO case of the epidemic but look at the measures they are taking. No matter how much you have followed to dot the guidelines, dealing with an outbreak in a city with 1/3 of the entire population will be a massive burden on the health care system + economy

Are you an essential worker? Are you a medical professional? Are you on the rapid response team? Can you work from home (answer is always yes if not above) Then STAY AT HOME. Even if it is very very hard to do, staying home can save your life and others.

The vessels have no shelter. According to locals, in the rainy season children are drenched by the time they reach the island. If the tide is too low the vessels are forced to delay trips back and forth. Below: children waiting by the beach in the morning to go to school.

Access to quality education is the fundamental right of every child. For the children of Fehendhoo, reopening their school would be a step closer to the realization of their right to education. Education should not be a chore.
