Is someone going to break down the door of your house and breath in your face? You can do all the things you are doing now if the government did not have one restriction in place. Staying at home, staying 6 feet away from another person, only going out when you need necessities, not going to work/work from home, wearing a mask, washing your hands etc.etc. I always amazes me at this new found discovery about washing your hands often. This is something that should have been practiced before corona and long after corona. Now you might have to have a serious conversation with your close family members and friends about close contact and their habits but, then again personal choices and risks. You probably have more chance of dying or being seriously injured n a car accident in New Providence and that is you being affected by others but, we still go and drive our cars around. We have no rules about smoking in public and that affects others health.
The longer the lock down and the more restrictive it is the longer the lines will be when you open up something. It does not take a lot of thinking to come to that conclusion.
At some point things have to open up. For those who still want to quarantine, well quarantine and stay home for those who want to take the risk then let them out. This has to be about personal responsibility and what one considers is in their best interest and the risks involved.
While I do not agree with us destroying our country to drill for oil. The US has oil rigs close to its shoreline all over the gulf which do pose a threat to us by way of the gulf stream flow. If they really do not want us to drill for fear of damage to the US east coast could there be some kind off subsidy or payment to us in lieu of us pumping oil? That would only be fair. If we are not allowed to access a natural resource if it exists by request of another country they they should be willing to pony up some cash in lieu of lost revenue.
One lock down spung on the population without notice followed shortly by another longer lock down. What could go wrong? I understand the need for lock downs to prevent the spread but, the panic this has caused by poor implementation and the mass crowds outside of stores now is more harmful than the situation that was going on before.
If we can't get a government to get our civil service under control, stop its geowrh, make it actually function, reduce red tape we cannot correct our downfall. The civil service is choking the life out of the private sector. Stiffiling growth, increasing costs, and making regulation after regulation that only the legitimate business have to follow.
I do not wish ill will towards others but to everyone that thinks this is the right and just position experience a Dorian. It is the only thing that might make a difference.
Prior how? It was implemented with about 1 weeks warning with haphazard crash courses from people who didn't understand the system themselves and was only in Abaco a meer weeks before the storm hit. The program was at that time full of bugs and glitches so please enlighten us when this acquaintance should have happened?
