Clearly once news reaches globally expect a rush on requests applications of the many wanting experiences living amongst the exceptionally healthy out islanders. A colony of 1200 out islands, cays, and rocks were only but two recorded non-virus deceased has remained unchanged during the previous thirty-day** timespan?. My Comrades, you just couldn't make this stuff up. Just couldn't. Nod Once for Yeah, Twice for No?

My Comrades, Abaco is one of the central authorities most targeted be ignored of the 1.200 out islands, cays and rocks out there where the virus-positive cases have now climbed a recorded 28 positive testings?
Abacoians, would have far better odds to experience an Elvis sighting on the Abaco's than a virus tester? They'd have even better odds at spotting both Elvis and a UFO landing than to encounter a virus tracer?
