If only those in medical community had been more vocal throughout this COVID nightmare, we might have had a more sensible approach to addressing the issues that arose. If I learned one thing, the Dept. of Public Health is ill prepared to deal with any public health crisis. They lack the experience to think critically, plan and execute strategies. Without WHO guidelines, they can do nothing!
... and what do you say of the crimes against humanity committed throughout the British Empire under Queen Victoria, should her statue come down too? In fact what sinless person in history is deserving of a statue? Only fools view the past through the lens of the present and their limited perspectives!
It would be good to hear the truth about BOTH sides of this story before commenting, although the police usually seem to go to work "in fear of their lives"!
I hope he knows he is not dealing with the government. It may be a decision to break the hold of the union there, so lets see if he can force them to open sooner!
@LawMan98... where is the politics in stating the fact that the good Dr. did not do something that a good Dr. would, by simply ordering necessary tests and PPE's in the face of an emerging pandemic? He could have done it but didn't and is now saying we need to do more testing? Sands first mistake was not pushing for closing the border AFTER the first covid case was diagnosed, something any sensible non doctor would have suggested! His statements have the stench of sour grapes!
As for politics, just watch and see if his words and actions are not political-- they are in HIS interest and certainly are not in the national interest!
On many occasions I said that Sands showed his incompetence by not proactively ordering more tests from Feb/ March of this year, and when they did order tests they did not order swabs. He communicated more clearly than Minnis, but did not aggressively or creatively address the COVID crisis
This is a distractions as he seeks to put himself forth as the martyr candidate. Real money is behind him to contest Minnis, but in truth, neither is fit to lead this country!
