You are witnessing what happens when power is not balanced with wisdom and discretion!
Those who aspire to lead usually desire power but lack the other two, so their decisions cannot make sense to a rational mind!

It also helps to have a educated population that can understand and carry out simple instructions. I cannot disagree with arrests for breaking curfews in this specific situation!

Sands can't be serious. The government failed on multiple fronts. Blind Blake could have seen this virus coming from January 2020. They failed to prepare by ordering the supplies they needed at that time when there was no scarcity. To compound the problems they also destroyed the concept of social distancing when they repeatedly forced panic buying through their incompetent messaging! Most of the illness and deaths that will result is the governments fault!

repost:

i realize that we need to have an exam for any person who wants to become Prime Minister. No campaigning, being elected party leader or any of that nonsense. The person who scores the highest gets the job.

The questions should revolve around different scenarios and the first question could be something like:

If an infection is spread by person to person contact and you want to reduce spread you should:

a) do nothing

b) control the flow of crowds, practice social distancing and make policing more effective,

c) use government policies to make every come out their house at one time and bundle up together like its Junkanoo, or

d) make and then change rules everyday

We can expect covid-19 cases to start to pop up in grocery store employees, laundromats and take out eateries any day now because of the significant increase in the flow of customers! So sad, this was largely avoidable if panic hadn't been created.

… there is a direct correlation between the two!

*Progressive Liberal Party leader Philip “Brave” Davis raised concerns in the House of Assembly yesterday about how some people will get food during the lockdown.*

Glad he raised concerns, but he could write a check too instead of trying to score political points!

… that's a minor problem compared to the fact that major producers of rice, wheat flour and other commodities are locking down exports of these products to ensure they have enough of them at home. There will soon be significant global scarcity! For a country that produces nothing but onions and some guineps, things could get tough in a real way very soon if the global spread of this virus continues!

The question then becomes, has the government been stockpiling any essentials (rice, beans, flour, powdered milk etc) if there is a global shortage. The obvious answer is no!
