Maybe giving the families some time to come to terms with the deaths......try not to read evil intent into everything.....must be exhausting.

Seems your evil massa doin' he best to suppress the number of CCP Virus deaths we might not have had had he not foolishly decided to pre-maturely re-open our borders to travellers from the US in the first instance. It remains to be seen how many more lives will be lost in the coming weeks as a result of that most fateful and stupid decision.

@mandela ... some of us have been careful from the beginning, but one bad government decision can undo all our carefulness! This does not mean we should be careless, but the wrong government decision can have far more impact, in many instances, than my personal decisions!

You dwindling die-hard Minnis supporters just can't bring yourselves to say: "MINNIS & D'AGUILAR'S MOST FOOLISH AND STUPID DECISION TO PREMATURELY REOPEN OUR BORDERS TO TRAVELLERS FROM THE US IS THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE RAGING COMMUNITY SPREAD OF THE DEADLY COMMUNIST CHINA VIRUS THAT OUR COUNTRY NOW SUFFERS FROM." End of story!
