Covid 19 does not spontaneously appear so it is impossible to only have one case. If she did not travel, who may have visited her, that's the question? This means at a minimum one more case MUST be found in GB!!
The simple fact is the curfew WILL be extended because it serves two purposes. They do not have a choice. If the curfew is lifted, people still cannot go to work in hotels etc because tourists come from covid affected countries and government must not let crime get out of hand with a temporary increase in unemployment. So people will be home until international travel can resume!
This is a time for sensitivity all around. A school does not have to accept a child with an unsettled bill when this lockdown is lifted. They could have handled this in a better way!
These activists are just bat crazy, but there are two sides to this. Many men will get nagged to death with this curfew and the sad part is liquor stores closed before people had a chance to stock up! Its gonna be hard all around!!
... this is temporary. Even if it lasts two months the economy will rebound! Physical and infrastructural damage from a Dorian like event is a different matter. We should be thankful this is not worse!!
Governments always use these as opportunities to expand the social welfare net and an entitlement mentality. We need a society built on personal responsibility and only those who can prove they need help, the truly indigent, should get it. This is fiscally unsustainable!
They can't get students or their parents who cosigned educational loans to pay back their loans, but they will make the students pay for this flight? That's funny!
It does not seem unreasonable to test these 61 students since the gov't would allegedly have a current surplus of tests (having only used 117 out of the 400 they claimed they had with 10,000 more on order).
Why allow young seemingly healthy persons who have travelled from a Covid 19 area, who may have little to no symptoms to freely mix with older relatives who may have medical conditions without testing them first? Seems unwise to me!
