A Canadian family on a round-the-world trip plans to ride out the COVID-19 pandemic on a remote tropical island in the South Pacific despite the risk of dengue fever.

Emmanuel Samoglou, his wife Nicole Adoranti and their two-year-old daughter are staying in a small home in idyllic Rarotonga, part of the Cook Islands.

They visited family in Italy, Greece, South Korea and Thailand. Then they visited Bali and New Zealand before landing in Rarotonga in mid-February, Samoglou said. Before the novel coronavirus began sweeping across the globe and killing thousands, the family's main worry on Rarotonga was mosquito-borne dengue fever, which is circulating on the island. Unlike Canada, he said, the only run on supplies appears to be mosquito coils.The family thought about returning to Canada after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau put the call out last week for Canadians abroad to come home.

Dunno why this is news. But good for them staying where they are and not crying for the government to “save them”.

All you can drink margaritas.

Do we actually need to know this?

The mom looks more like a dad than the dad

Might as well. I would too. Pass me the sunscreen and another margarita.

Thanks for the invite. Kinda rude

Safest place to be!
