... our leaders also said that only one person on Cat Cay has COVID-19. How can only one person anywhere have covid? I also know persons who were exposed to persons diagnosed with covid who were never contacted through the contact tracing program so I know that is a joke! I also know persons who called the covid hotline (early in in the pandemic)with classic symptoms and were told to stay home and self isolate and were never tested! Leaders lie and manipulate and when incompetent, they definitely cannot be trusted!
... the fact that he is a doctor does not mean he cannot be a dimwit as well, they are not mutually exclusive. And further I said he is of no political use, not medical use-- in most languages those words are not synonymous!
Sands is unprincipled and showed his true colors with the Butler and Sands political campaign and the effort to oppose Minnis during the leadership convention. He left Loretta out in the cold and licked his wounds to cut a deal to become minister of health. He did **not** suggest the country close the borders during the first stages of the covid pandemic, did **not** order an appropriate number of tests and supplies for heath care workers and did **not** ensure there was an effective monitoring system in place for those they decided to self isolate. He spoke well, but I tend to favor actions over words and on the basis of his performance (not including the entrance for swabs fiasco) he did not do a good job. After his resignation he puts the spotlight on his failures in order to try and make the government look bad- and you don't think he's a dimwit? Now if as a doctor he did not do a good job in a health related crisis, I would not want him managing more complex affairs. That's my five cents!
So called racism will always exist as long as people put their ethnicity above their humanity and the humanity of others and or see themselves as better than others. Its time to call all hateful acts against others the crimes they are and stop giving labels for the same hateful acts depending on the color of the person who commits it. I have observed that many seem to think racism only flows in one direction (white to black) and few consider the magnitude of so called reverse racism. Stop with the racist labels and lets just call stupid, ignorant and hateful acts of pride just that!!
Sands is a power seeking dimwit who is too self absorbed and politically naïve to be of any political use to the long term interests of this country! The best service he can offer this country is to continue practicing to practice medicine/surgery and even some of that is questionable!
**All** of human history is marked by blood spilled in conquests and the degradation, subjugation or extinction of the conquered. How many did the ancient Greeks, Romans and Mesopotamians decimate in their quest for more? Yet we still quote their philosophers, marvel at their architectural accomplishments and read their poetry! Where are the ancient Maya, Inca or Aztecs? How many native American Indian tribes were obliterated during the conquest of America? How many know of the ongoing slave trade that existed in Africa facilitated by Africans, even before Europeans and how it thrived under black tribes that benefitted greatly from trading slaves for muskets, gunpowder etc.? How many know of African kings and queens who owned and even sacrificed black slaves in various festivals and rituals etc.?
Its time to grow up, move on. ALL human history is marked by acts of evil against other humans and it still carries on today. That does not make it right, but is just a fact. The statue does not celebrate Columbus' faults and shortcomings (which ALL humans have) but a bold act of discovery which brought this part of the world into global view. That is a part of our history, like it or not. The colonial mindset has far less to do with Columbus than it does with the statue in front of Parliament. And even that should stay where it is!
Leave the statue where it is, place a plaque to add perspective and move on! And by the way, my idea is cheaper too!
Interesting how money is always available to quiet public outrage (I don't believe they were ordered in February).
This is a token act. The cameras will never work when necessary to undermine police, but will always work to justify their "being in fear of their lives". Another waste of money!

Really smart, you can just go pick up the virus and come back home! Nice.
Do these guys even think, are they really doctors?
Why no antibody testing? At lest if antibody positive you can have more confidence that they should be okay for a while.
Its sad that in a crisis like this we have no choice but to listen to these idiots!
