How is the government making any decisions with 201 locations pending? If they were all on one island (except NP and GB) wouldn't that mean a serious problem? This is all a joke as they don't have any decent information from which to make decisions so they just make them based on what they know (which has always been our Governments problem).
On the second part about drugs, it is taking so long as it always takes long for our Government to change things. It can be down to one of 3 reasons. One they are incompetent . 2 they are trying to work out how it can benefit them financially the most, or 3 they are lazy. I reckon its a mixture of all 3
People are up in arms because those 3 days will do nothing. If he was serious he would lockdown hard for two weeks (i do not agree with this), but to lockdown for 3 days and then back to normal is stupid. But that is pretty much all this PM has shown since around June time.
How is this meant to help. if the numbers are out of control then lockdown for two weeks. If they aren't then no need for lockdown. From his own mouth businesses are where most cases are occurring (i would highly suspect it is Government entities), so how is allowing them to still operate going to work. We will be like this until November and then no doubt longer unless you are a tourist, as you will be exempt. All they had to do was enforce the rules from the start and it wouldn't have got this far. But at least this time he says they will enforce them (unless you are connected or live in one of those western gated communities as then you can carry on, just don't be poor or unconnected).
One of the few times i agree with Davies. We should have been testing and tracing from the start. but no our Government tired to do things on the cheap and hope it would disappear. They have seriously dropped the ball. Finally enforce the dam laws, masks, social distancing and stop those parties and funerals we all see being done by people who must be untouchable for some reason.
Maybe Government should enforce the laws on all. Everyone has seen the parties and yet nothing happens to the people there. We locked down in August and that did nothing as nothing was enforced. So we will do lip service and lock down again and there will be no change, except more companies will go bankrupt.
Fully agree on the lost income part. . If the government had enforced the laws and we had this rise then maybe i could agree with another lockdown. But they have not done that. I drive West Bay street a lot and see so many people partying, and there is no one stopping it. Until they do that there will be wide spread Covid. As one of those in charge of people who broke the law said, it is what it is.
We are a pretend Christian nation, everyone knows this. When it suits us we will be Christian but when we take the veneer off we are not (and when this is pointed out we will blame someone else be it foreigners or gays for our sins).
