"Had your full set of jabs?" So we have gotten a total of 33,600 doses of vaccine. That is enough for 16,800 persons to get fully vaccinated and these people on here shaming people for not being vaccinated? Large portions of the population like under 50 are not eligible except for certain instances. Even if you wanted one there is hardly enough to go around. They have given out accordingly to the Tribune 21 or 22 thousand as of a few days ago? Where are the second doses for these individuals? How many people in this country are fully vaccinated? You trust the government will even have your second dose available on time? I mean they are so good at everything else they do. Maybe we can get some Moderna for the second dose and do a mix and match? What about persons who have had the virus and have recovered who have antibodies just like the newly vaccinated that they could be tested for? Why is the shot the only choice?
Next there will be someone who is too tall to fit in the little airplane and their family will offer transport by boat only to be denied and you will suggest they could have had bone reduction surgery to reduce their height.
So you know this mans medical history and if he might have had medical disorders that lead to obesity like thyroid problems, medications like steroids and antidepressants, crushing's disease etc?
While if this mans poor life choices resulted in his obesity yes he has some responsibility for the situation he found himself in I agree but, that does not absolve these medical persons from acting in a way that could have maybe saved him. He most likely even with intubation had a long shot. Nevertheless you are assuming allot in you role as god deciding who can live and die based on assumptions. There are many medical reason persons can be obese other than bad habits like cushings disease, thyroid disorders, certain medications like some anti depressant, and a whole host of medical reasons not related to diet. You assume much in your statement.
It is a shame this man died from bureaucracy. The excuses as to why this man could not have been put on a boat and have been to Freeport or Nassau within few hours are disgusting and highlights everything that is wrong with our government and civil servants. It shows their completed inflexibility and/or any ability to think outside of the box. These people do not know what a box is unless it has fried chicken with ketchup and hot sauce in it.
Lets form a new department under the Ministry of Finance called Department of National Debt Services and let them study this problem. They will need a budget of 20 million and at least 100 new government workers and some national debt response vehicles to drive around in,.
While they may have degrees economists often spew out what is their opinion. When their supposed ideas/policy's/forecasts fail they face no consequences so they continue to spew out opinions as science. Conversely if a engineer builds a bridge that collapses their career is over finished and done. They may even face civil and criminal consequences. Sick and tired of people with certain degrees get away with screwing up things with no consequences. They may be a little more cautious otherwise.
Exactly. Leaks all over the place. I know of a leak close by my house that at least 2 gallons a min was going out of it. I reported it over and over again. It took about 14 months before someone finally put a temporary patch clamp on it. It still has not been properly fixed
